.mobi Opinions...

[jeremyp]

I've previously spoken about the Extreme Optimist, Moderate Optimist and Pessimist.

I have identified another opinion. It appears less sincere.

The best analogy that I can make is this... Have you ever heard about someone who purchases 1 share of stock so that he/she can leverage an objective - for instance an annual shareholder's meeting.

Buying a share of stock enables a voice. It's just a hard pill to swallow the sincerety of the concern.

Thread after thread shows a pattern at Namepros. Interesting topics followed by extreme, extreme caution.

I think that it permeates so deeply, so persistently that it should at least be a topic of conversation.

Matt,

I don't want to pile on Jeff.

I do want Jeff to be very direct with us. What motivates his persistent posts that tend to take over the tone of most threads.

Jeremy

you are obviously a lot nicer than me. :imho:

Talking about 911, I was inside the north tower when the first plane struck the tower. Luckily I was able to get out without harm.

wow .. that's pretty much all i can say about that

 

[think]

I need to get new contact lenses. I thought the title of the thread was "Onions". Didn't we have an onion thread? I get this overwhelming sense of deja vu. Anyway I don't like onions cause they make me cry. Although a blooming onion with thousand island dressing is quite delicious! Vidalia onions are yummy too if you like sweet onions.

Onions also have layers kind of like ogres
Shrek 3 coming soon............

I better go get that first cup of coffee

Happy Mobi and non mobi domain sales everyone!

But we did not expect the towers would fall while we were walking down,

I didn't expect they would either, given all that steel support underneath the crash zone.

Thank god you made it out in time.

 

[Jeff]

No worries.

I simply don't believe you.

And, really, that's OK, and back on topic - as, again, this isn't the "Jeff thread" - we are both (all) entitled to our humble opinions here in this space! :music:

As a .MOBI owner myself, I have a vested interest ... and I may one day be even more vested with either/both developments or future acquisitions, IMHO. I'm also curious by nature, and like some others here I'm concerned that the main questions are continually not being addressed by mTLD. The money and support that the fine members in here have provided to the .MOBI is extraordinary, and I guess I'm a bit fascinated in that it does does not seem to be mutual and reciprocated, in my view. My interests and opinions are genuine, but at times they may differ from yours - and other active .MOBI Supporters™ ... and this, too, is OK. As to the "tone" etc. I don't know ... everyone may post as they will, perhaps I stike a chord or at times stimulate thoughts that are contrary to the majority? The bottom line, is that the preservation and cultivation of mutual respect of all other's thoughts and opinions is far more important that any one subject, domain name, or extension. :imho:

Thanks, and enjoy the day!

[jeremyp]

Jeff, I'm now asking for your accountability.

I agree that everyone is entitled to an opinion... a sincere opinion.

Please explain why you are the most consistent poster with 4 mobi domain names. It's not the content that I disagree with, Jeff. It's your positioning as a concerned .mobi domain name holder.

I'm not asking for any more than you ask of practically every topic. Accountability.

Are you trying to save others from making a poor purchase decision?

It seems like a crusade to me... and if it is, just call it a crusade.

[Jeff]

It's all good, IMHO.

Please explain why you are the most consistent poster with 4 mobi domain names.

Please see my post above, as there is also the potential that I may one day be even more vested with either/both developments or future acquisitions, IMHO. :gl: :talk:

If getting some answers to the multitude of unaddressed questions and concerns puts me (and possibly others) in a better place as to this potential mentioned above - and/or happens to save other's from investing without all of the facts and information that they deserve - then I think I have a right to express my views and opinions, and to ask the questions! :talk:

If it seems like a "crusade" to you IYHO , again that's OK. I don't know what else to say, as this thread isn't and shouldn't be about me. You have your own thoughts and leanings / motivations ... and I have mine. As long as we're all exchanging and learning, I think it's all good, IMHO. :tu:

Take care for now ... please feel free to PM with any questions of the personal nature.
See you soon.

[jeremyp]

Jeff,

You bought a few .mobi domain names for the appearance of credibility.

You have a personal crusade against .mobi.

Your vested interest is in your crusade.

[movingconcierge]

It's a shrewd and concerted move to devalue a sincere competitor to king com :imho: or maybe it is just a bored guy twiddling and diddling.

 

[garrett200]

I think its just a bored guy twiddling and diddling.

But, even if it isn't, who cares? How could a plant threaten anyone's portfolio even if there was a plant here? I just don't get it. If you believe in your investment, then believe in it and shut up about Jeff because he's irrelevant to whether your portfolio grows in value or not.

Oswald was not the lone gunman, and 911 may very well have been an inside job, but Jeff is no threat so just forget about him and ignore him if you don't like him.

 

[Jeff]

Opinions!

:hi:

I purchased five .MOBI's - primarily three to develop and two to resell (I've since sold one of those latter two and used the proceeds to pay off nearly all my registration costs). I never considered the "appearance of credibility", but I know, Jeremy, you're not going to believe it. It's OK. I guess if there is any "crusade" at all, it would be for, again as I mentioned above, all of the facts and information that is deserved, IMHO. Some regular visits here at the Namepros .MOBI Forum™ would be appreciated and most helpful in this regard! :talk:

I'm repeating myself again, as I don't think you're fully reading and digesting my posts ... AGAIN ... there may be the potential that I may one day be even more vested with either/both "developments or future acquisitions" ... :gl: :talk:

Thanks again, any further comments as to me personally may be done via PM.

But, even if it isn't, who cares? How could a plant threaten anyone's portfolio even if there was a plant here? I just don't get it. If you believe in your investment, then believe in it and shut up about Jeff because he's irrelevant to whether your portfolio grows in value or not.

Agreed. :blink:

[hawkeye]

....If you believe in your investment, then believe in it and shut up ....

"...well..! "

Jeff, you're not using two monikers here are you??

 

[garrett200]

Let's end this thread, it's freakin rediculous.

"...well..! "

Jeff, you're not using two monikers here are you??

Are you serious? Come on, man. I never even support Jeff's views on here, so how could I be him? I'm just saying, IGNORE him if you don't like him, it's very simple.

The dude's got 20 something thousand posts, looks as if he's been here way way way before .mobi was even a thought in someone's head.

 

[think]

I like critics. There is another member here who is by far one of the most critical people I've ever met when it comes to dot Mobi and I consider him a friend and a business associate although we are at odds over Mobi.

Over at DS I use to get ribbed about Mobi but I love those guys also. The mood over there has changed a bit though from skepticism to inqisitism although every board I am on has it's Mobi skeptics.

DNF is about as polarized as it gets when it comes to Mobi but at the end of the day we are still domainers and Mobi is just one of many domains.

I like to make friends whenever I can because I invest in Dot Biz so I need all the friends I can get

 

[Jeff]

Let's end this thread, it's freakin rediculous.

Amen, let's get back to discussing .MOBI! :yell: :kickass:

 

[mjnels]

so auh.............. how bout them chicago cubs, eh?

 

[acc]

dumb as a fox

Dot Mobi is a NEW way of thinking about domain extensions and it has upset the applecart - its success in both the domainer world AND adoption in the corporate world is already evident compared to .aero, .museum, .biz, etc. Many lost money or their shot at it due to the failure or disappointing aftermarket performance of some other extensions. Dot Mobi seems to be a keeper. Time will tell. In this short time frame it is looking pretty good.

Dot Mobi is potentially a very big thing - it has taken away domainers' dollars from other extensions since August 2006 - present. That hurt and upset many whose stakes in existing extensions and inaction at securing fine generic dot mobi names during landrush. The early vitriol against .mobi and those who regged them is evidence of this.

The success of Dot Mobi as a business entity riles the anti-big-business, anti-capitalism side of some people. I don't have a problem AT ALL with Dot Mobi making money from regs and RFPs. It's their business model. Timing of releases you can debate, the aim of making profits ... not a factor. Dot Mobi is in business to make money - you are in business to make money.

Some who have - for whatever reason stayed on the sidelines of mobi regs - can just watch, downplay the significance of .mobi hoping to catch an impatient newbie sell for a "Quick Sale at $25.55-$37.77, or wait for the next ICANN release (.tel, .asia, .whatsnext) to take their shot at it.

There's also another possible way some might think that they can profit in the future off of something that they have no "monetary" investment in - that is the other side of intellectual property - trademarks. So for instance, say they "invest" their time into making many documented posts in an online forum - using catch phases with the "TM" symbol as often as possible. A good attempt at humor or sign of wit - each commendable for sure - or for conspiracy theorists or skeptics - a sly effort to try to get "vested" in the game without really being in the game financially. What do I mean???

Most here who visit and frequent the .MOBI Forum™ have a vested interest

My interests and opinions are genuine, but at times they may differ from yours - and other active .MOBI Supporters™

is that the good folks here in the very active, always engaging .MOBI Forum™

There will be LOTS of drops in the .MOBI Scraps™

So, does the emperor have any clothes?

Everyone has an agenda. Everyone. Whether they realize it or not. Whether they admit it or not. That's fine. Those who take the real risk have the most to gain. Those that have the real goods - fine, generic .mobi names - will make out the best in the long run.

Discuss on -

For a second I thought you may have been Jeff too. I understand his views and everyone on this board has now heard them. He isn't just telling you to look at his views, he is somewhat forcing the board too by posting them in every thread.

Jeff doesn't need to instill his values into everyone. He is entitled to his opinion just like all of us, but he really doesn't sincerely care about mobi. Jeff, I know you can't argue with me on this. We all know you hate mobi and think all of us made horrible investments.

 

[scandiman]

Dot Mobi is potentially a very big thing - it has taken away domainers' dollars from other extensions since August 2006 - present.

I wish there were some sort of sales stats to quantify this perspective because I think you are correct but it is difficult to substantiate. Ultimately thought it isn't a zero sum environment. The investment I have made into .mobi would not have gone towards another extension.

Everyone has an agenda. Everyone. Whether they realize it or not. Whether they admit it or not.

Well said.

 

[garrett200]

LOL!! Of all people, ME Jeff?

OMG, some of you really have lost it. Isn't a shill supposed to AGREE with the other shill? I bicker with him and try to prove him wrong more than anyone!!

Here, for all you conspiracy theorists, you'll enjoy this:
