.ninja is lame

[scandiman]

Got an e-mail today to pre-reg my .ninja. Here's an excerpt:

You're a force of nature with control over the elements, a grandmaster at gaming, a champion of cooking, a warrior of words, a master of martial arts. Basically, you're an expert in your field possessing special skills and wearing a mask. Here's some ideas to inspire you: heavymetal.ninja, knitting.ninja, slicingdicing.ninja, pingding.ninja, ghosthunting.ninja, sheepshearing.ninja, koffee.ninja.

As a new domain extension almost everything is currently available, so the only limit is your imagination. But don't wait too long, as we think this domain name is going to be huge.

Who said domain names can't be fun?​

Yes, domain names can be fun, or at least worth a hearty laugh. I just about wet myself sheepshearing.ninja :lala:

That's a funny marketing ... "grandmaster at gaming" LOL

 

[forge]

Omigosh. I just realized what eNom's .ninja promo (see their main page) reminds me of.

"I Duddits!" from Stephen King's Dreamcatcher. :lol:

"...and wearing a mask." WTF !?!?!?!?

Another dead extension that many will lose money on IMO.. An individual/company actually paid almost $200k or whatever it costs to start this? lol

 

[forge]

ninjaguru dot com & guruninja dot com both taken. Drat!

nineinch.ninja
ginger.ninja

Waiting for domainers to bail them out It can be done

 

[dknight]

I giggled when I heard of this extension. It's funny.

Of course, I had no doubts 'domain.ninja' was going to be taken asap. LOL

They should advertise "If your domain is taken in dot guru give dot ninja a try"

I just about wet myself sheepshearing.ninja :lala:

The stupid regs are what they need the most, so it's only natural they tout things like sheepshearing.ninja. The 'good' dot ninjas will be regged without campaigning.

Shouldn't this be in the hater thread? lol

ninjaguru dot com & guruninja dot com both taken. Drat!

nineinch.ninja
ginger.ninja

dude! ninjaguru.pro

I don't hate it at all, it's a comedy I find hilarious that was just the laugh I needed while wrapping up taxes. In fact this one is so bizarre as to possibly be more memorable than many of the others, so maybe a thread title shift could be 'less lame'

Why is the Enom ninja dude stabbed in the back lol

 

[Kate]

Why is the Enom ninja dude stabbed in the back lol

It is meant to depict a screwed registrant

 

[forge]

Why is the Enom ninja dude stabbed in the back lol

Because he's Rain Man's brother and his neurons are impervious to knives and other bad things like RPGs.

i think .ninja may do ok, at least enough reg's to survive... it's a fun name, it flows better than names like .sexy...

How many names does an extension need to survive? [ball park]

ok i crunched the numbers it will be years before .ninja is making a profit. Unless it is one smart guy doing all the work, but i doubt it.

Donuts has a better business plan spreading the costs imo. It takes $ to make $.

ninjaguru dot com & guruninja dot com both taken. Drat!

nineinch.ninja
ginger.ninja

Did you try:


ninja.guru & guru.ninja

 

[DnEbook]

.ninja lame? It's pretty cool in my book. I'm all for unconventional marketing

It's only cool if you own a dojo or want to become an assassin

 

[equity78]

That videos was great NS I could not stop laughing and the storm trooper at the end, great stuff.

These niche extensions that serve no business or hobby or philanthropic purpose have to realize they have a short window. It comes down to new and old. Some gurus will become ninjas no doubt and then down the road they will be some other novelty name. It is hard to identify with being a ninja unless you are a real ninja and something tells me they are not getting emails from Enom.
