You are a domainer if.....

...when your rent is late because you want to buy a domain.
...when you go to sleep and dream about finding a hit domain.
...when you wake up and that hit domain you dreamed about is taken and already sold for 1 mil.
...when your not productive at work because of domaining.
...when your work IT department puts new security policy and blocks all domain registrar and namepros because you are no longer productive.

You know you're a domainer when...

• You fall in love with words.
• You explain the difference between a domain name and a website at least once at every party you attend.
  
• You visit NamePros daily.
• You laugh at ROI in the stock market and physical real estate.
• You make money while you sleep.

Very well said

When you take APIs from 6 different locations and code them to work in harmony with each other to find you the maximum about of possible available domains, based on a 1 letter input.

When someone asks you how much something costs over text message and you respond with $xxx

you know you're a domainer, when you get scammed on a "too good to be true" deal.

....when you feel that the number of bulk domain searches offered in one go is just too low!!!!

When you enjoy watching the @DomainSherpa shows more than actual television

...when you open a new tab in Chrome and the cached icons of NamePros, Godaddy, Dynadot etc pop up

I believe the new, successful generation of domain name investors are namers instead of domainers as creating a brand name is the key objective for many companies these days!

Word.

... when Google search constantly pops up a captcha to verify you're a human.

You know your a domainer when you start seeing the world in a Neo/binary type way but with web addresses cascading everywhere you look. They're on vans, the fronts of shops, trucks! HEADED PAPER! THE TELEVISION! EVERYWHERE I TELL YOU! how much might they have gotten that for? That's got some value, they did well to get that or paid top dollar for it. That's definatly had reggged. OH THEY HAVE THE LLL.CO.UK, THEY MUST HAVE PAID A BIT FOR THAT. I WONDER IF THEY KNOW WHAT THEIR .COM IS WORTH?! AHHHHH MAKE IT STOP!!! and so on and etc...

You know you're a domainer when you receive countless spams everyday offering you a "better" version of your domain names.

When you can't stop this addiction of rating or giving an opinion over domains you run into during the day on the streets, TV, etc..

When you have at least 5 Adult Domain names lol

You know you're a domainer when you run out of GoDaddy discount codes, but still got back 5 months in the threads trying to find ONE that works.

Yeah Godaddy! How am I supposed to get anything done searching only 500 domains at a time? :P:P

...you spend more money on domains than food, clothes and beer.

You find yourself on a domain name forum completing the phrase "You are a domainer if...."

When your Girlfriend tells you that she could care less they are using a .TV in that commercial instead of a .com.

Ho my god ... After reading all these posts, even if some are really sarcastics, I'm not sure i'm a domainer... ! Of course it becames a big art of my life.. Of course, i'm reading news everyday on Namepros, DnJounral, etc... But even if my portfolio is getting bigger and bigger everyday with good quality keywords domains, I never thought domaining was the unique opportunity... I'm more in the thinking that derivated products of domaining are THE Opportunity. Domaining is cool ... But not enough to make big money... What really interest me is the WEB Realestate approach ... which, I think, could be the new Eldorado.

Yea, you remember...

Girlfriend 2.0 - 4.0 Upgrade.

I'm currently running the latest version of GirlFriend and I have been having some problems lately. I have been running the same version of DrinkingBuddies 1.0 forever as my primary application, and all the Girlfriend releases I have tried have always conflicted with it. I hear that Drinking Buddies runs fine as long as Girlfriend is ran in background mode and the sound is turned off.
Unfortunately, I can't find the switch to turn the sound off. Therefore, I have to run both of them separately. Girlfriend also seems to have a problem coexisting with my Golf program, often trying to abort Golf with some form of timing incompatibilities.

I probably should have stayed with Girlfriend 1.0, but I thought I might see better performance from GirlFriend 2.0. After months of conflicts and other problems, I consulted a friend who has had experience with Girlfriend 2.0. He said I probably didn't have enough cache to run Girlfriend 2.0 and eventually it would require a Token Ring to run properly. He was right, as soon as I purged my cache, and realized that no one in their right mind is installing new token rings, Girlfriend 2.0 uninstalled itself.

Shortly after that, I installed Girlfriend 3.0 beta. Unfortunately, there was a bug in the program and the first time I used it, it gave me a virus. I had to clean out my whole system and shut down for a while. I very cautiously upgraded to Girlfriend 4.0. This time I used SCSI probe first and also installed a virus protection program. It worked okay for a while until I discovered that GirlFriend 1.0 was still in my system. I tried running Girlfriend 1.0 again with Girlfriend 4.0 still installed, but Girlfriend 4.0 has a feature I didn't know about that automatically senses the presence of any other version of Girlfriend and communicates with it in some way. This results in the immediate removal of both versions.

The version I have now works pretty well, but there are still some problems. Like all versions of GirlFriend, it is written in some obscure language I can't understand, much less reprogram. Frankly, I think there is too much attention paid to the look and feel rather than the desired functionality.
Also, to get the best connections with your hardware, you usually have to use gold-plated contacts and I have never liked how GirlFriend is “object-oriented.”

A year ago a friend of mine upgraded his version of Girlfriend to GirlFriendPlus 1.0, which is a Terminate and Stay Resident version of GirlFriend. He discovered that GirlFriendPlus 1.0 expires within a year if you don't upgrade to Fiance 1.0. So he did, but soon after that, he had to upgrade to Wife 1.0, which he describes as a huge resource hog. It has taken up all his space: He can't load anything else. One of the primary reasons he decided to go with Wife 1.0 was because it supposedly came bundled with a feature called FreeSex Plus.

Well, it turns out the resource requirements of Wife 1.0 sometimes prohibits access to FreeSexPlus, particularly the new Plug-ins he wanted to try. On top of that, Wife 1.0 must be running on a well warmed-up system before he can do anything. Although he did not ask for it, Wife 1.0 came with MotherInLaw which has an automatic pop-up feature he can't turn off. I told him to trying installing Mistress 1.0, but he said he heard if you try to run it without first uninstalling Wife 1.0, Wife 1.0 will delete MSMoney files before uninstalling itself. Then Mistress 1.0 won't install because of insufficient resources.

P.S. Watch out for the K-I-D-S virus because they have an insatiable appetite for memory and CPU time over and above everything else above.


Peace,

Sorry for the crash DV, I couldn't pass it up.

You are a domainer if you access NamePros from every devices, everyday. Not long after that, you'll head a voice in your head every single time you try to get a domain asking how much it worth, how old its age, what letters it contains and much more. Soon after, this event will occur every time you've been asked to name anything, either a brand name, product name, service feature and even a name for your aunt's kid. Beware.
