Do you own your NP UserName.com?

[GreenGambler]

I saw some others mentioning it in another thread and thought it would make a good poll topic.


So do you own your Name Pros user name as a .com domain name?​

[GreenGambler]

Hey how bout Red Gambler???
LOL

I like it!!

However the "green" has many different meanings. (Money, Greed, Envy, Newbies, Eco-Friendly, 420, Vb Reputations, LOL) Everyone loves Green!

 

[accent]

Yep, AccentNepal.com was the first domain I bought, it forwards to my eBay store. I could have gotten a quad-premium LLLL instead, back then, if I had known.

Oh well, it would have not been a very GOOD quad-premium.....

 

[npcomplete]

Only another mathematician could love npcomplete. I own com/net/org/info, including the versions with dashes. NP-Complete.com (with the dash) is the second name I bought in 1996, after my last name.

in the last 12 years, I have had only one request for NP-Complete.com, from another math geek, and yes, the request was for the version with the dash!

intractably yours,
Marc

if I had enough money to buy sOliver sure
I wonder how much it would cost .. gotta check their stocks lol

 

[lzy]

I'd give up all my names to own my username .com. :D

 

[htmlindex]

Nah. Never really thought about owning my screenname at all really, but when I did check, it was regged for many years already.

 

[raredn.com]

maybe

______

 

[Dave_Z]

My username and sigfile say it all.

 

[Keral_Patel]

I would be on a holiday if I owned my username .com

 

[jido]

I got jidok.com just in case. I do own my last name .com for many years, been using it for everything.

 

[RicoShay]

I own my first name and middle name in .com extensions - my nickname as a .asia but unfortunately my surname is too common. But I'm not too bothered since my middle name is the main one I needed, its also my company name and is fully developed.

 

[Krossat]

Yup i own Krossat dot com

 

[Truthman]

Truth

I wouldn't want Truthman.com, truth.com would be ok. But I am happy with truth.info.

The Truth will make you free!

 

[smashfactory]

yep

 

[deleted984054565403]

No -- but when I was first starting out, Etab.com was in a drop auction somewhere.

Now, with all the LLLL hype, I doubt I'll get it for a reasonable price! :D

 

[Slick Domains]

I think you should if you aren't using your personal first or last name (ie Mark, Jeff, Mike, Davis, etc.).

People come to associate you as a person and you establish a reputation under that name, so it is good to own the domain name as part of your online brand/identity.

I originally posted under another name because I was in negotiations for a domain. That fell through so I had a screen name for someone else's domain. I talked to the mod's and re-created my account under this name (had them delete old one), and I'm glad I did.

I suppose it is personal preference, but I like having a separate online identity from my offline identity, that is why I use this name on Domain-related boards, etc.

Mine was the 89th domain EVER registered... boy if I could own this.

 

[hyped]

I wish. Hyped.com sold for $30k a while ago, I think.

I do have my FirstnameLastname.com, Lastname.org (damn .com is taken, and the contact email doesn't even work), and several other Nickname.com's that aren't dictionary words.

Nice thread Very interesting to hear all of this

 

[nu-money]
