I don't even know how that happened. Noticed a stat that I joined namepros on 1/6/2005. Unless you count the multiple times I stomped off in anger then reluctantly came back, lol. Maybe the stat should read, "member since 2005, 2011, 2016, and 2019", lol.
Sixteen years seems like it went by way too quickly. I'm into my sixties now, not sure I have another 16 in me. A lot has changed since then. The registrars have sure gotten better at monetizing expiring domains before domainers can get to them. I've gotten a little better at filtering out crap domains, yet I am still a bit of a sucker for something new ( IE that stupid .truth I just registered, thinking it was a normal extension, and I like .supply way more than I think anyone else does ) . Maybe I will just look at myself as an optimist or an opportunist, that sounds better. Even with the new extensions, though, I am about 80% .com .
Do you know the difference between a pessimist, an optimist and an opportunist?
The pessimist says the glass is half empty. The optimist says the glass is half full, and the opportunist leaves a note saying thank you for the water.
You can make money domaining with any of those strategies, but the thread that runs through all of them is research. Know your strategy and why you are comfortable there.
With the exception of one or two more temper tantrums in the future, I will do my best to hang out here for the next 16 years, because I find this place keeps my mind clicking. My original thought was to set a goal for the next 16 years, something like, to own 10 killer one word .coms, but that sounds awfully tiring. So maybe I will just stick with surviving for the next 16 and see where it takes me.
Your path is not complete until you say it is.
