Well we have reached the 8 year anniversary of the .tv subforum, things have quieted down as more and more people have good names and that made the domainer to domainer market go quiet.
There are still some nice sales each week but not as many as those invested in the extension would like.
Momentum that carried through the LandRush/GoldRush times in 2010 has slowed down with talks of New Gtlds and all the potential confusion coming to the Namespace.
One thing that holds true is Shop means Shop in English not in Chinese, Portuguese or French as just one example.
TV is universal around the world, so who knows how the hype around new gtlds can be used to possibly, note I said possibly reignite interest from a domain speculation standpoint.
I have actually been looking back at the past, I have had people say thanks I never made anything in domains until I came here, or I am still down in .com thankfully I found this forum and I made some money.
I have gone back through 2000 pms that included threats, talking people out of traveling cross country to punch someone in the mouth, deals that weren't deals to the pm that told me about the biggest sale in the history of the extension.
From calls at midnight from people I didn't know but felt like they knew me because of here, I say thank you, long before people were blogging,actually it predates 99% of all blogs,this place was pumping out info and gave a whole bunch of people a chance to make money they never would have made.
So as always thanks Argos, JohnTV, Amcy.org, AuntyStatic, Lance and Ian, I would never had started this crazy journey if it was not for you guys and the thread that became a forum.
Thanks to RJ and Eric and thanks to everyone who participated over 8 years of craziness.
I am working on the short story The History of The .TV SubForum, coming up with fictitious names is proving lengthy.
I think this year Ammar has been the .TV domainer of the year congrats on the sales and keep it going.
