This might be long so sit tight...
.
I am not new to domaining... i have 'dabbled' now for about 4 years... not a guru, but not a noob either... i have made modest money off of a few names... no more than 5 figures total in my lifetime, so i will not and ever consider myself an "expert"...
... with that said, i am new to this forum and was originally excited to be... i didn't jump in this thread to sell anything... i was excited to talk about more 3d technology, present developments and the effect it would have on the domain business..
... i have regged about 150 3d related domain names in the past month and a half, so this was NEVER a premeditated motive of mine coming in, but since my first 3d domain name - man, am i stoked about the future... and this thread here, if it is ANY indication of the rest of this forum as a whole, is nothing but filled with HOMERS who ONLY want to praise the 3d purchases of the other and rip those they know nothing about.. it doesn't even seem like you all try to hide it - it's just BLATANT!!!
I am amazed at how the ones who do not agree with the purchase of 3d domain names can just not get enough of this topic and this thread... it speaks of your own character, really....
me, i'm a yankees fan who despises the mets
... would i rather watch, read and learn more about my yankees or hang arond a mets forum just to throw mud on them? .. makes no sense!!
I understand there are some stupid names being regged out there, but that doesn't mean ALL names being regged are a handful of flames.... not a chance.. just the other day somonee on this board regged "3d side effects"... F**Kin BRILLIANT man!!! .. I LOVE that one... (Jealous, actually - AWESOME find!!) i didn't see any of you homers step up and say anything good about it... or even my list of 25 .co.uk names for that matter - one person said anything... you only want to STICK to and quote the bad ones... what kind of credibility is that?
You have people on this board who have only joined this room to rip and rant about how criminal it is to register 3d domain names... there SOLE PURPOSE is to do just that... this just don't undertsand.
The whole "ALL GOOD 3d names were taken years ago" thing is JUST - RIDICULOUS!!!!!
I'm sorry, i'm not trying to be a troublemaker by any means, but i had this exact same discussion with domainica in another forum and STILL never got a complete, black and white answer...
when you say that, when you ALL say "ALL GOOD 3d names were taken years ago" what exactly do YOU mean?... seriously - what is YOUR idea of valuable? ... monetarily speaking, of course.
Am i to understand that the ones who say that will ONLY get invloved in ANY domin name if it can fetch 6 figures?.. cause the SMALL list of names that actually have been 'regged for years' are about the only ones who WILL net 6 figures (if at all)... so again .. is 6 figures your ONLY idea of a good domain investment? .five figure domain names - is that what "GOOD DOMAIN NAMES" are to YOU?
maybe you guys have never worked a day in your lives and that's why you feel that way, but man, i have NO PROBLEM buying 200 $7 items (DIGITAL items, no less!) and selling them for $75 a piece... from where i come from, which is reality .. THAT IS A PROFIT!!!
... so maybe you guys with your HIGH expectations are really full of CR*P cause a real 6-7 figure domainer is not gonna even waste their time talking to us second rate citizens who have no idea what a domain name is.
Also.. AS A DOMAINER, wouldn't you guys WELCOME the hype into your industry??? I mean, isn't this what's considered 'GOOD FOR BUSINESS" for you all??... o.. that's right .. only for those who actually BOUGHT 3d domain names and GET to play this game this time around .. and i don;t mean no S3d names either.. i mean REAL 3d names!! (save the s3d is the technical right way to say it garbage also - grandma and auntie em are STILL gonna only call it THREE DEE... as well as ALL marketers, advertisers and business owners)
Sorry to step out of line in some of your eyes...
.. i'm not trying to create trouble, but you guys are just out of control now.. and if you kick me out of this thread and this forum - so be it... guys like myself and froy and pjam and evirtual and so may others keep trying to ADD to the 3d discussion... we're bringing awareness to your industry.. you should be thanking our DUMB selves for the pub!
Froy - i love your enthusiasm and really, i am on your side - i obviously believe 3d will be big - but dude, you're IN FANTASY LAND with your guesstimated numbers'... personally i think you're just trying to get a rise, and i sit and laugh, but i hope it's only that... you can't realitically think you're getting 7 figures for mobile network 3d or whatever it was.... not unless you build a 7 figure business on top of it....expectations are great in life, but reality needs to mingle around the thought too, ya know.
also.. in closing ..
.. i don't know why you guys keep calling this a "TREND" ..
... maybe that's where your biggest problems are
... maybe you need to research "reality" and "trends" instead of bashing
... this is not The Macarena
...so g'head and take your turns ripping into me now and talking all your smack with your tagteam partners... i expect it more so now since you got hit with some TRUTH.
as for everyone else...
the only way to slow these guys down is to agree with at least some parts of what i just said - this has become nothing more than a bashing room and it's not necessary
