.tv 7 year anniversary for the .tv subforum

[equity78]

Today is the 7 year anniversary of the .tv subforum.

Well it has been another year for the .tv subforum. There have been some changes this year, such as the position of the forum and changes to the marketplace. I want to thank everyone who has continued to support this place and thank Eric Lyons who has worked hard to keep .tv having its own sub forum here on Namepros.

Domainer of the year goes to Jeff Overman who has had an exceptional year both in personal sales and in assisting others with their sales.
Jeff has really done an excellent job.

Volume here has spiked up at times and over the summer traffic was up as much as 200 %.

The year has seen the extension of the .tv contract with Tuvalu. Some really good months for .tv sales with more activity going on privately as some are doing deals privately and others are tracking those moves through whois.

Forums are well ingrained today, back in 2005 there was no conversation about .tv except for "those prices are too high" and ".tv sucks"

As I say every year thanks to John, Jean Francois, Lance, Ian and .mike thanks for having the interest in the extension that got Rj and I to create this place.

It will be interesting to see how new tlds affect alt extensions like .tv, how it will affect end user expectations on price and how domainers will adapt to an Internet where the buyer has more choices.

Best of luck to everyone and thanks for participating.

What's up with the domain you're selling?

You should keep it for when Larry White takes over from the Alex Ferguson!!!

I'm glad this forum is still here - there's an unusual camaraderie in here that I think is unusual in the domain world.

Things are continuing to change across all TLDs but I think I'm finally beginning to figure .TV out a little.

Congrats Jeff!

Thanks, Ray... for all you do in TV land.

Kudos to the cast and crew who make this show shine season after season. And to our fans -who buy our goods and make it all possible.

I'd also like to thank all the little extensions, without whom TV domains would not look so incredibly good.

Nothing wrong with it, but the house isn't finished yet

Just getting rid of a few, still looking out for decent ones though, but its getting really tough now.

Actually, seems that the certainty that was Larry White (Laurent Blanc) taking over is lessening with the success of OGS over in Norway with his team!

How many more bathrooms to go?

Happy birthday .tv subforum!!

 

[Dave]

Many thanks to Ray. .tv has done me well this past year or so making low $x,xxx profit on this TLD alone. I couldn't have done that without the knowledge you have all shared here over the years. Many thanks all and again Ray! Happy birthday .tv subforum!
