First off,

I'd like to say, I wanted to introduce this thread as means of looking at the thoughts and opinions of forward thinking and likeminded people ...

The kind of people, who should write here in this thread are the kind of people that read the whole story before they write and most importantly, they realize it rains sometimes and sometimes it's sunny and every now again, a hint of lightning or snow peeks in ! These are the kind of people who understand "change" ...

I wrote something similar in response to someone who questioned Gtlds on a different site as I like to follow all news related to domains in general, even the investors who realize that Enduser "build outs" is where the money is in this industry ...
Quit waiting for the house to be built or the skyscraper to be constructed ! You own the land, get to work, because it won't be worth anything unless someone does it for you or your neighbors support your endeavors to invest in fertile land !

These are the kind of people who don't sit patiently waiting for the phone to ring when they don't even have a phone to ring ;) These are the ones making the phone calls and have the phones to do so !

"The people who realize change will happen only if, we realize what change is ..."

The Internet is the virtual world, it's filled with virtual cities and virtual neighborhoods and virtual buildings and virtual houses and virtual parks and virtual schools and virtual banks and virtual skyscrapers ... As it stands, we all know who lives in the big skyscrapers ! That's the power of .com "living in the city with the millionaires and billionaires" or "living in a family house in between the skyscrapers and realizing, so that's all this city has to offer ?"

I will use the example, (.xyz) to explain the best possible extension more close to the (.com) then anything else at this given moment !

So you have the slums, (.xyz) ... Let's not make any exaggerations or assumptions ... We can all agree .xyz is an extension that could both revolutionize the "investors" way of thinking as well as the consumers living in the city ! The only thing that (.xyz) has going for it, is the incredible view ! The view of the entire city can be seen from the balcony of a (.xyz) investor ... They live on the outskirts by what looks to be a neighborhood with industrial buildings and industrial architecture, brick buildings, and modern lofts ... These are the visionaries, some are poor, make no doubt, some are cheap, and some are wealthy individuals looking to invest in the projects / slums because they have this moral idea that this neighborhood can be better ... And the truth is, it absolutely could be !

Gtlds are not dead, but they are "dead slow" and reasonably so ... We look at .com as superior because we have seen the power of "change" and .com started off as 1880 NYC and has gone to 2017 NYC ... Ten thousand to Ten million ... 20 years time, who's surprised ?
... Gtlds have only entertained 10% of the time .com has procured and this serious reaction and representation of opposition and opinion responses shows the growing change ! It looks bad, but think of it like (Richard Hennessy) it's a process of fermentation !

Everyone wants to live in the million dollar residence before they even consider the slums or industrial division of the city ... We can look at (.xyz) as not only the slums, but the slums of Shanghai or Shenzen or Beijing ... And we can look at (.club) or (.vip) as the industrial sector or that small alleyway with stripclubs and nightclubs by a few expensive hotels ...

Daniel Negari has personally invested in the East more then the West, all because of quantity and not quality ... This is a stone cold fact, his "penny pricing event" outraged his investors and now the question is arisen, "when will we have our own skyscrapers, Mr Negari ?" The same can be said for Gtlds who failed their investors like .mobi for example ... The (.club) and (.tv) had an advantage as a neighborhood filled with billboards, a hotdog stand on every corner, and a TV or radio blaring a message synonymous with likeminded people
...

Next let's discuss, O.co and the so called failed apparent marketing of a CCtld, not a Gtld ...

O.co is not a good example of an Enduser failing in marketing because you cannot even have O.com ... There is only 3 single letter .com domains on this planet, Z,X,Q
And expecting major skyscraper owners to move countries without changing their address or even their own business cards and live in a spacious hacienda is not surprising that this change failed them in the longrun ! It was bound to happen, imagine if AA.com (American Airlines) switched to AA.in or AA.cn
... People would be outraged ...
Now imagine if AA.club was introduced and it was a better looking site then then AA.com ...
And not only did the skyscraper of the .club look better but it had a wide arrange of necessities for the common consumer, and it was easy to navigate ! Conveyor belt walkways all over, like DIA airport !
I believe if this was the case, more people would visit the skyscraper of .club more then the .com if they knew the could get the same flight or whatever and not only the same, but better, faster, and more importantly, easier !

Next let's look at the proven history for O.co failing and the reasons why we "really" should not be surprised ! Who wants to live in 10 SQ M "closet" in France ... Who wants to live in a gigantic castle in Timbuktu ?

Let's face another fact, shall we, (.xyz) is a neighborhood filled with a few prominent investors; ones who according to some waste their money when in fact, they realize, the registrar owner is not going to build a skyscraper for us .., why should we expect him to either ? .com (verisign) never did that ... They let the investors become their own endusers and that's how .com became the king !

And today, new people joining this forum in hopes of aspiring to become the next "Rick" or "Frank" are compelled to live in the city by their friends (neighbors), because as if it's not already packed enough, their friend found them a nice condo for a couple million or they can choose to live in a $hithole in the major city ...

They can pray to be a skyscraper but everyone knows they live in a box or that they spent too much for a piece of virtual realestate when even the giant skyscraper owners realize this notion and invest in the slums themselves ! Facebook (work.place)
For example, a ghost town house where Mark works behind closed doors building the unknown !
Maybe just a tax right off ! I am sure the common person doesn't know how much Facebook owes in back taxes, give you all a hint ;) it's in the billions !

Perhaps the sewers is the best home / house for a name like "JohnnysGr8tBarbershop.com" and then you have the cheapest of cheap roaming the streets while the giant skyscrapers stand tall like a tree overshadowing the consumers,

But hey, at least, you don't live in (.xyz) where the people have become so cheap they don't want to shop at the dollar store ! This is a major problem that must be addressed by Mr Negari ...
Surely he can't build us skyscrapers but he can market the neighborhood more appropriately and he can build some of his own skscrapers to give some idea, that a new city is actually being born !

As much as he is generating from his investors, he should be worried how tall the buildings, of his investors in his neighborhood are !
The only one with a skyscraper seems to be the owners of these registrars and this is a flawed thinking for the "want to be rich"

Let me become rich by a new idea and support change but "oh wait" let me bury the investors who gave me the money to do so ... #flawed

Not all his own, I think we can all agree, his party has a reasonable skyscraper and he can start to focus on his own people, the investors, the neighbors, the consumers, and most importantly, the endusers !

He should be marketing at events like the Super Bowl ... turn the lookers into investors,

If you're going to build (.xyz) or any new extension for the general public then represent the neighborhood and form an HOA which appreciates the neighborhoods and wants good things to happen ! Schools (knowledge to the investor and endusers) Parks (calm beauty for the investors to stroll along with their investment) Restaurants (A man has to eat !) and as it stands Registar owners are lacking on the food supply to their investors !

Anybody who has their own opinion to add, you're welcome to do so ...

Best,

Alessandro

The views expressed on this page by users and staff are their own, not those of NamePros.
You're welcome to share your opinion, but in a fashionable suitability ... You've made some clear points that you not only don't like this topic, but you don't like Gtld investors in general - fair enough -
^^^

My exact words, not expecting someone to fluff up Gtlds, I am looking for individuals with thoughts of the same forethought wether it be on Tlds or Gtlds ...

I just ask that you provide your own evidence and or your own examples to justify a means of thinking ...

That's all,

Best luck to you once again !
Next time read the sign of your neighbors
,
Sometimes the homeless holds a sign that says - "I'll give you money" Not "give me money" -

Unfortunately, some people seek safety and comfort in following the pack and adopting sheep mentality. They are the ones who believe in the saying "If it ain't broke, don't try and fix it" - Fortunately, people with foresight and vision understand that adopting that sort of attitude retards progress. If we all adopted that's sort of attitude then we would still be using typewriters and computers would never have been invented. Typewriters were not broken so why try "fix it"....

Off course, we need the folks with sheep mentality, the worker bees... I mean who else are the visionaries/independant thinkers going to employ? :)

DomainVP,
"invoking the 'off-topic' battle cry I've seen newbies use when they can't prove their claims."
I'm no newbie. established in.1999.
You started when? Another "expert" that still works for a living?
You must be selective in the threads you read. There are several regarding sales and use of New "G"s
The op requested participation of LIKE MINDS. What part of LIKE MINDS do you not understand?
Or is your intelligence far superior to suggest you have no obligation or professional integrity to comply?
Most professionals will refrain from participating in a discussion they have no interest in.
Start your own debunk thread instead of trying to hijack/spam threads that have a topic you are clearly not interested in.
The same guy that berated the op in the shane debacle. Good one. carry on.

Good try, not going to work. Namepros is full of these haters, it's pointless trying to get a decent discussion about new g's here you will just be harassed.

Agree.
It won't be long before I start pushing the report button instead of the reply button.

Next.

Alessandro,

gTLDs are dead.

Are you lost? What address were you looking for? Perhaps you need a
Spirit.Guide
It's like writing a huge diatribe on Amish living.
Sure, being Amish for some people, but for the rest of the operating world it's absurd. (Sorry to former Amish friends on the forum).
Absurd being Amish? Is that so? By whose standards? Different is not absurd. I don't think you represent anyone but yourself.
