The question is why do some people spend so much time and energy trying to prove that someone else is not a real domainer.
In my opinion anyone who thinks he or she is a domainer is a domainer,
No one can tell someone else that they are not a domainer.
And why do we think that having a lot of big sales should be the only metric or requirement for whether someone is considered to be a real domainer or not,
If I were able to hand register:
EndingStarvation.com
and
EndingStarvation.org
couple of months ago in my book that makes me more of a domainer than someone else who just sold a domain for 7 or 9 figures but couldn't come up with a decent domain to register no matter how hard they thought about it.
IMO
Hi
i gonna reply, just to point out the flaw
let's say i go buy some saws, t-square and a ruler... and use them for a few months,
does that make me a carpenter?
or, say i mix some household chemicals together and blow up the kitchen...
does that make me a chemist?
on other hand, if i get caught with 3 bags of rocks, does that make me a drug dealer?
now, i'm not going to try and define what a domainer is
but, a domainer is not one who buys a few domains in one year, and then disappears.
one would have to take similar risks, put in similar amounts of time and make similar sacrifices to sustain and maintain over a period of time,
they should last long enough to a point, where they can look back... and see themselves in the shoes of those who come after them.
just cuz you buy some books and walk inside a school, doesn't make you a student.
you have to take notes, pass tests and put in the work -
in the end though, you can call yourself anything you want.
imo....
