All I ask is that this thread be archived somewhere, and never deleted... so, at this time next year (or two years from now, or three) when the next retarded theme driven domainia hits the citizens of Nameville, this thread can be promptly referenced- and perhaps studied a bit- as an insight into what sorts of human behaviors are involved with a speculative domain rush that has little to no potential of generating profit...
For those of you who think that all you need to do is "wait long enough", perhaps you can reap the all the opportunities of the great "b2b" suffixed names that everyone has since given up on. Of course, most participants in 3d mania haven't even been around long enough to remember that, so go ahead and scurry off to Google and learn what it means, then come back and pretend you knew all along... But really... b2b back in the old days? Is pretty much on par with this "3d" thing, right here.
I would seriously recommend that "you people" (<-- not my first choice of words for what I'd like to call most people ITT, but I promised I would turn over a new leaf and become a kinder, gentler Dongsman) read the following books.
1)
Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds
2)
Irrational Exuberance
3)
Contrarian Investment Strategies
4)
Famous First Bubbles: The Fundamentals of Early Manias
... and for those of you who don't want to buy books, see if you can't G up a transcript of Warren Buffetts 1999 speech at Sun Valley. But seriously. Get those books, buy them or check them out at the library, read them, then read them again. Stop registering garbage names and invest a bit in yourself, by purchasing some books that will substantially hone your perspective on life, success and how much value should be assigned to the opinions of crowds and 'other people'.
I'm kind of an avid self-student of mania behavior, coming from the right generation where we all had the chance to witness a few very important ones (.com, real estate, leveraged banking and equities prices) that no doubt will be carefully studied in years to come...
This thread is just so, so, so perfect...
