I would say that is exactly what is going on, with the current state of the world economy most likely a heavy contributing factor. While the sales are still there (obviously) it seems to be in a bit of a lull. Rick recently touched on this in one of his posts and I consider him a seer when it comes to this stuff.

"Lastly, revenue since I am online has now crashed THREE times. In the adult world around 1999. In mainstream in 2003-2004 and as we are all witnessing 2010-2011. But each time the crash occurred, things ROARED back stronger than ever. That's the nature of things and I don't expect it different in the future."

No - it's dead unless you have single word popular dot coms.

I am letting ALL of my parked domains that are not paying for themselves drop (or try to sell) to get some invested revenue back even though they have been good earners in the past.
