In a recent edition of Top Topics, we covered the news of the GoFundMe page that was set up after NamePros administrator Eric Lyon lost everything in Hurricane Harvey. This week, the page's creator George Verdugo confirmed that the page had been closed after reaching a total of $16,580. If you still want to make a donation to Eric, there is a discussion page that has all the information.
Here are this week's Top Topics.
Should I Do This Rather Than Park My Domains?
There is a lot of evidence to suggest that domain name parking revenue has drastically fallen in the past few years. This has lead many investors to find alternative forms of revenue to make up for falling parking income.
Here, a domain investor is asking the community whether it's worth the time to create a Wordpress website for every single domain name in their portfolio. According to the discussion, revenue would come from affiliate programs and advertising.
Is it worth the time and investment to create something like this?

Is the Domain Industry Slowly Dying?
In this discussion, the argument is made for the fact that the domain industry may be slowly dying thanks to the introduction of new domain extensions. It is said that thanks to the introduction of new domain extensions, it'll be easy for end users to acquire a "premium" domain for a small fee in a new domain extension. This interest in new domain extensions would reduce the demand for .COM domains.
Whether or not you agree with this, it's an interesting point of view that has been the catalyst for a lengthy discussion on the future of the domain industry and new domain extensions.

How Much Is Your Portfolio Worth?
Have you ever thought about how much your domain portfolio is worth? It's often difficult to gauge the value of your own set of domains, but this discussion is asking you to evaluate your domains.
Do you own a portfolio that is worth over $1 million, or is your portfolio worthless? This discussion and attached poll make interesting reading.

Report Your Domain Sales That Have Been Developed
We are used to seeing industry data about recent domain sales. Thanks to DNJournal and NameBio, we have an abundance of information that we can use. As good as that information is, it doesn't tell you what the domain name gets used for.
Here, a domain investor has asked domainers to submit their domain sales that have subsequently been developed by their new owners.

Can Domaining Become an Addiction?
Domain name investing has been compared, rightly or wrongly, to a number of different professions and hobbies. Real estate, stocks, and gambling are all used as real world comparisons to domaining. Here, a domainer has asked for opinions on whether domain name investing can become an addiction, in the same way that gambling can.
