Always "great" to wake up in the morning and read on NPs about a bunch of people pulling out tape measures to see who's is bigger.
Truth is this BB thread tends to bring out two types of people - one's that hate it, and one's that love it.
Then there are some of us who see it as it really is - an available marketplace for our domains if we decide it is in our best interest to be in a partnership with them. I see some people in here who do try to come in to this thread with this view - but it does not take long for the two other groups to irritate them out of here.
I personally have profited from my relationship with BB thus far and will continue down this road. I of course would post my thoughts in the future if they change.
I am currently holding around 5% STR with about 100 domain portfolio with them - so I am happy.
Do I have concerns? Yes.
Are the commission and fees a little high? Yes - but so far my return justifies these fees.
Could transparency be better? Yes. I am a big advocate of this.
Is BB right for everyone? No. You need to do your own math and make your own decisions.
My opinion is there are people with valid concerns - and I'd love to continue to see those expressed in a productive manner. I don't believe these people should be shouted down or "annoyed out of town" by BB supporters.
For anyone not participating in productive conversation that has long left BB - I do not see the point in continuing to harp on issues that you have expressed - as you made your decision to leave. Let people know why and let that be that. Your success outside of BB should be enough proof to you that you made the right business decision - what benefit do you gain from being an attack dog?
I say we bring this thread back to a productive conversation - but maybe I am asking for the impossible here.
Best luck to all - and happy domaining,
Mike.
