This might be your assertion but it isn't the topic in your link. In fact, your link suggests that subdomains "may not be a good long term approach".

either the article is not relevant and should be discounted, or it is relevant. you shouldn't cherry pick to whichever suits this speculative extension.

Well I guess you can't have it both ways either. If you consider it relevant then it suggests you are wrong.

I'm saying that if you consider it relevant then your own source is suggesting that subdomains may not be a good long term approach. Read it for yourself.

Also your source mentions nothing about subdomains being preferred over second-level domains which is exactly what you are claiming and enthusiastically providing this article as support of your opinion.

So your claim remains unsupported beyond your own opinion, which of course you are entitled to and I am entitled to challenge.

ok, so let's start from the beginning as to whether this article should even be considered (i.e., relevant).

although really, it's good that you don't make a stand on anything, that way you can't be wrong.

you even avoided answering the quoestions here: http://www.namepros.com/613465-i-am-...ml#post3619670 even though i answered your question earlier in the thread. how very noble. it's a trend that i believe we're all beginning to see. but it's okay, we'll stop asking for your social security number and home address now.

(let's see if we can get it up to three threads...)

perhaps, just perhaps I might engage another of your pointless questions if you would clearly explain why you find an article that contradicts your opinions to be relevant and supportive of the same opinions.
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=625792

That's the rusty-go-round, same old squeaky squawk when someone doesn't want to go round and round with you on a pointless question. You find it relevant so explain why it is instead of asking me if I find it relevant or not. It's your opinion to back-up so prove it.

first off, i'm glad you've been able to find time out of your very busy schedule post yet another reply, given what you said in your previous post.

secondly, i'm still waiting for at least one answer from you. i've answered quite a few of yours and still you dodge mine. we wouldn't want people here to think that you don't ever make a firm stand (in this thread or the other) because then you'd have to defend it, right?

There's only one question that matters in our exchange in this thread, that is for you to back up your assertion that your source supports your opinion that "just use m.domain.biz, which would do much better than a .mobi - even for mobile browsing and development", even though the source doesn't address anything regarding .biz, .mobi or mobile development and it suggests you are wrong by saying that subdomains "may not be a good long term approach". You continue to refuse to address this and instead want to discuss a pointless question of whether or not I find it relevant or not. You provided it as a supporting document to your claim so for the sake of the community at large and your own credibility please support your opinions that you state as fact.

you're missing the point, which could completely disregard this source. before it even makes sense to use evidence, both sides need to agree that it is "legitimate."
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=625792

there's a reason why the courts use this system as well (so that commitment-phobes don't cycle a run-around and keep cases pending longer than they already are).

if the document should then put my credibility at risk, then there's more the reason you should accept it, no?

come on, you can't even let me hand feed you an easy win? haha

Actually you're missing the point, this is a discussion thread not a court of law. You made an assertion and provided a reference that you said was supportive of your opinion. I pointed out how the reference is not supportive of your opinion and you have yet to clear it up. Instead we get yet another pointless post, this time about courts.

Way to go off topic guys.

As for biz vs mobi. Well is the domain mobile centric? If not then drop both domains. What's your intent with these domains? Is it development or resale?

Resale: drop both
Mobile Development: keep mobi
Business Oriented: dot biz
Other: Get a dot com

Pot calling kettle black- in this case I disagree, I've been simply asking shockie to back up statements presented as facts regarding .biz and .mobi starting here. http://www.namepros.com/3668323-post22.html
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/showthread.php?t=625792

It takes two to tango- true indeed, perhaps I should just ignore shockie and save myself some grief. EDIT: that's a good idea actually, shockie now added to the ignore list.

Hi all:

I have decided to keep only the best .mobi and .biz names I have and not renew the rest.
I see .mobi and .biz names and having the same investment quality as lottery tickets.
