i talk what might be classed as er futuristic waffle

i am usually way ahead of the game in tech concepts

i pre registered thebest.games before Facebook bought gameroom

i bought 0ffice.space before Facebook bought work.space

i bought sodschool.com because no knew wants to go to school but play games instead via sodschool.com

Well we do agree on you talking Waffle. Futuristic or not.. So you are just another troll?

Waffle:To talk or write a lot without giving any useful information or any clear answers..

I think we can safely say; you are NOT ahead of the game.. And your domain names are god awful.. At least you highlight the value of education.

 

[platey]

allegedly i highlight the value of education?

i personally think if 11 years of school can't get a person a decent job on a decent wage without having to waste yet more years and even more money and leave too many people starting their working life heavily in debt just to get a decent job on decent money and many in long term debt - if that's the best that education can do an online school won't be far away

 

[promo]

Yes, you highlight the value of education by being a banner holder for non education and sounding as daft as a piece of cardboard. In this way you make much more of a case for being schooled than anyone else could have done.

Education is a way of tapping into the heap of knowledge the people that came before you amassed. You could call it the mythos of man (Thats from Robert Pirsig, not my own idea). If you believe that you are better of relying solely on the experience you can rack up, then I would flat out tell you that you are wrong. You dont have to make all the same mistakes as other people did...

interesting reading

although can't remember reading anywhere that says domain name investors have to be educated to degree standard?

i must have missed that thread

although it must be said i do enjoy buying legal domain names for reg fee obviously ( being ahead of the game) lol

Lots of domain names to go off-line as CentralNic terminates SLD’s

What were they thinking in the first place?
All extensions from this list look like they were DOA.

 

[Charles Sweeney]

...that were never live.

[Elon Swift]

yes i agree that these extensions have no relation to many domainers as they are specific domain extensions

 

[Charles Sweeney]

But they were never live were they? There could be a million reasons why someone apllies for a new domain then doesn't follow it through. In itself, I don't think it means much.

 

[HotKey]

Not all is gloom and doom..

[Brandon.Domains]

but would be standard practice if Google bought and ran the majority
if not all registrars and subsidized purchase and renewal fees by ad $

they could even use ad $ to buy registries and offer all domains for free and still make a profit

which could be fun lol

If a couple of big players emerge from the new domain extension race who own hundreds or thousands of new gTLDs, the operating costs will be proportionally smaller. Who knows - maybe two big players share their infrastructure like with mobile phone networks or ATMs.

Plus new technologies are always expensive in the beginning but then the costs tend to decrease a lot as the necessary legal procedures, hardware and software become more efficient and cheaper.

Also, with big companies not everything is targeted at making money directly but rather gaining a foothold in a new business field or increasing the existing market share and leverage.

Thanks,
Brandon

These extensions do not matter as they were never available to someone outside the company. That was just a CEO having a budget surplus near the end of the year and thinks their company's own gTLD would be a good idea. The next year it's being cancelled as not necessary and too cost intensive by a new CEO.

Thanks,
Brandon

Exactly

But costs are only costs if a company cannot subsidise them and in that case they would have to pass on those costs to the consumer etc but someone like the big G can almost buy every gtld and almost offer all domain names free and still make a fortune from offering free domain names - the impossible is no longer impossible

 

[SuperDudePro]

I should check the dates on posts before replying...

 

[platey]

I forgot off topic still existed - socialmedia

 

[Casey L]

The funniest part - ntld speculators say .bmw and .barclays are great for new extensions since companies are willing to branch out from .com...But the dozens that failed "have nothing to do with domainers"

Confirmation bias at its best.

If you have to ignore the state of few sales, plummeting renewals, rising renewal costs, and failing extensions to stay confident in nTLDs, then i suppose nothing can sway people from wasting their money on these

What does it tells you?

 

[Alessandro Couteau]

Honest opinions, no reason to write this thread ... Waste of time ...
Has anybody honestly heard of any of these ? Lol, with that being said, there are some dying extensions people know about; why don't you write about those ...
