This is basically a thread about your "mistake domains". you know the ones you regged when you FIRST started domaining.

We've all been there. It's fun to have a laugh at your own mistakes. Roast yourself! If you can't take it then you are in the WRONG Business! This business is NOT for the Meek or Timid or thin skinned.

It's fun to reminsce! Have a laugh and reflect how your mistakes made you a success today. or not.

I'm sure none of the self appointed experts who've ever negatively commented on my domain choices will post here lol. I doubt they'll admit they've made poor domain choices ever.

Only one thing to say about that.

"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone"

a 2000 year old saying that is still relevant 2000+ years later.

This saying can be updated to say

"let he (or she) who is without mistakes (in domaining) cast the first stone."

Here's one of mine (Below) (one of many I'm sure many will agree here. lol)

GameInfiltrator.com thought it would be go since there is GameInformer.com!

so what's yours!

Yet another thrilling thread! Just take a look at the appraisal section if you want ideas about what not to register.

oh I know what not to register "now" not necessary. and yes Capt Obvious. anyone can check that section and any other section for that matter. this is not about INFO friend. it's about who on NP can take a jab at themselves for their mistakes. and for experts to come clean about their mistake domains.

Newbies can learn from the replies here. if there will be any.

this thread will show who CAN admit their mistakes and who CAN'T.

Everyone started domaining at some point. not everyone started domaining as Pro.

so logic dictates all domainers screwed up at some point.

If you post your mistakes here and the fact that your domain after you let it drop was never reg again? proves it was a total failure.

I think this thread won't be about who posts their mistakes. actually tell you the truth every domainer EVER should post at least ONE domain on here.

But what will REALLY STAND out? are the Experts who DON'T post here.

Because any domainer who says they never made a mistake in domaining

IS LYING.

it's not the serious. you are welcome to check other threads and not troll mine. and I as far as I can tell you did not mention your "mistake" domain? so again you are not contributing here. so I am within my right to report this thread. yes?

but let me be the better man and let you go on.

Thanks for the visit! :xf.grin:

Gotta love my groupies!

I think this was the first domain I reg'd. It's that bad I shouldn't even mention it, but hey, we've got to start somewhere.

I'd advise anyone with a weak stomach to look away now!. Here it goes, ShopOnDotCom.co.uk :wtf:

I've still got it. keep it as a reminder of when I started :xf.grin:

I have a few examples, have to dig them up though.

I bought these names, they expired, I remembered them later on and checked again and they were available so I bought them again. These were not necessarily names I was reselling but using for personal projects.

Some of my first regs (at 1and1, I think :xf.sick:)
SexualSlang.com
DepressionHurts.me O_o
StoreMeat.com

But I also got some okayish ones around that time (also at 1and1 >_>) that I sold on namepros when I joined.
Disfiguration.com
GrowingProblem.com

HotelGazelle.com - I think I wanted to make a site even maybe and got the .net too.
Now the .com is developed. I think I only dropped it because I was sick of trying to work out my problems with 1and1 and forgot to try and pick it up again.

see to be honest. I did not really "think" about why I created this thread. sometimes thee answer comes after the question. and here it is for all the negative people.

People by nature are nostalgic creatures. they like to remember things good and bad.
and it makes for great story reading

everyone has a story. just gotta coax it out of them with the proper innocent question or discussion. like this one.
Thanks Augmented for sharing. I'm sure some newbie will benefit from it.

including myself.
