discuss Are you a domain collector? Nostaligc?

[TC27]

I realize I am starting to "collect" a lot of domains that I just don't want to sell or I've registered them just because they are personal to me (even though I know I'm never going to sell them).

These are different from businesses you say you are going to create or websites you are developing.

I have about 10+ some are personal names or past interests of mine and I get too nostalgic to drop them. I have the first domain I've ever registered and I know it's very unlikely it's going to sell.

How many do you own?

I have 2 of them. One is an exact match of my city where I grew up. Its an exact match hack, something like "Baltimore.md" or "Atlanta.ga". The other domain use to belong to one of my favorite local radio programs (very funny) that discontinued. It has some quality backlinks from top sites involving music and it has celebrity interviews (with the url displayed) on Youtube.

Well I guess...it really depends on the person. Im only a part time domainer. I usually turn my domains into websites but I understand the underlying message.

It's a fair point, am not making any money on them but I enjoy having them

"Baltimore.md" or "Atlanta.ga"

Neither of these are domain hacks. They are domain names under the ccTLD
Edit: The ccTLD matches the State code (?). But the point that they are not domain hacks stands!
