Hello,

From a domaining point of view, the .COM VS new gTLDs ''forum battle'' is just ridiculous. For me, I don't care if the extensions says .COM, .ORG, .CO.UK, .XYZ, .TOP or .HORSE, as long as I can sell the name.

.COM is the king and everyone with some wisdom knows that, but without deep pockets, it's not easy to get your hands on any good ones. Then, there are alternatives. It will obviously take some effort to catch the few great ones without crazy renewals, but for me it's worth it.

I am a domainer, not a lobbyist.

I would disagree with you on this

".COM is the king and everyone with some wisdom knows that, but without deep pockets, it's not easy to get your hands on any good ones."

If you're talking about true premium names, that would be correct. But you can get good .coms all day long for just a few hundred or less everyday in the Aftermarket.

Totally right, ''any good ones'' should have been ''the really great ones''.

I am buying .COM in auctions and at the aftermarket ''all the time'' and you can make a good profit from spending just XX or XXX per name.

No one will be using .com in a couple years. It's archaic.
I think you need to learn more about the industry if you really think people will not be using .com in a couple years. Statements like that are so far fetched from reality. I'm just being candid.
