The .TEL Discussion Thread

[brendan52190]

Hi

For this, let's assume that .tel will not be a total flop.

What type of keywords will be most valuable for this extension? Will it be geographical keywords, like newyork.tel, losangeles.tel, etc, or what else?

 

[plaggypig]

Look, I understand where you come from: plaggypig is a programmer in some cold and dark British dungeon who churns out "poetry" that translates into beautiful code that powers the wonderful .tel machine. All in pure ASCII. You'd be a god in 1994.

In the smoke and the dark of the opium den I think you probably meant Assembly language, and I have not the foggiest idea what any of this has to do with .tel

Oh I see it now. Wendy, you keep deleting my posts - I am not allowed to argue against .tel? Is that what it comes down to? So this is a thread paid for by Telnic "officially".

Plaggypig, I was referring to the wonderful ASCII output of .tel domains on your computer screen. You'd be surprised to learn that I am fully aware of what assembly is. Not sure about your age; in the 80's I coded video games in Z80 assembly and a handful were published. But even then, at the lowly resolution of 256 x 192 pixels and 8bit color, there was something actually to see. In the era of the Internet and web site development with graphics, video and audio, .tel looks like the textual past of browsing via lynx on a SCO Unix box.

I deleted your posts because you continue to post
comments about people and their portfolio's, and what
they are trying to do with or to .tel - it's just going around and around!

It's not the appraisal or Showcase thread, which has been stated numerous times.

If you dislike .tel (which you have stated) fair enough, now move on.

Let people read the thread and draw their own conclusions, if you own a .tel
then know what your limitations are before you buy.
Which makes it user's choice at that point.

 

[plaggypig]

..in the 80's I..

This isn't a job interview, but whatever. In 2009 you waste your time trolling forums and writing bizarre blog posts about a service you claim to dislike, of which you became a consumer at the earliest possible opportunity.

I'd recommend pills.tel but I don't think it has the category you need.

i need some advice.

a couple of my .tel domains are coming up as 'server not found' in my browser. i emailed support at my registrar and they said basically, 'we dont provide the hosting, so not our problem'. I tried twittering Justin Hayward to ask who should i contact at telnic, or what should i do to get this fixed? anyone have any suggestion?

the telhosting seems fine. i can log in fine, and all my information that i have entered is still there. just the domain is not resolving

Someone needs to update the 1st post to alert others that this is for people who are Pro .tel only and any post with opposing views will be deleted.

I am not done discussing what I have to say, and I find your suggestion to "move on" quite indicative of a pro-tel bias.

How do you assume I don't own .tel domains? I have more .tel domains than .mobi's.

Certain aspects of my posts are part of my "style". You want a live conversation, people that disagree set their points forth. That's part of an interactive forum, IMO.

 

[liming]

People say .tel no virus annoyed.
Network security cost none.
Right? No hacker? No worm? No horse?
Can provide small-sum payment application?
I trust .tel webpage eventhough small developer.

Oh yeah, not to mention that any anti-pro .tel links in your sig will be deleted as well.

Sorry, the troll is you and your lack of honesty towards the domain community. .tel pusher comes to mind.

But come on, have a full disclosure e.g. who do you work for? *cough*telnic*cough*

I didn't assume anything it was a general comment.

As stated in PM
The size or type of someone's portfolio does not benefit .tel
one way or the other. Does it?? Yet you made it a point to comment
on it. Which in turn was against another member. NOT .TEL

Talk all you want about .tel

and for the record...I am not "Pro" or "Anti" anything!

 

[Tia Wood]

and for the record...I am not "Pro" or "Anti" anything!

I hope not and I hope it wasn't you who abused your mod status. Because somebody sure deleted mine and Acroplex's signatures to a tel site with an opposing viewpoint on the pro .tel

I don't have the power to delete sigs...

 

[Acroplex]

Hereby lies the problem.

Our .tel folks here NEVER address the issues: .tel links to more text links to a list of ...more text links is NOT development.

Yet, I hear the same drivel every time from guys like plaggypig.

Now you're asking me to stop making anti-tel posts. Where is the balance? I present facts, then all I hear back is scorn from the .tel gang. I have *no* problem debating.

No, that was not done by you. It was Jennifer - who owns a sizable .tel portfolio and runs a .tel "for sale" website advertised in her sig. And that was indicative of the issues here. I've known RJ since 2001. He needs to do something about the lack of fair balance in conversations.

 

[Tia Wood]

Honestly, I would LOVE to see some success with .tel. As a domainer & developer: if there are things that will make my job easier, better or make a different way to approach things, I am ALL for it!

But nobody has shown me anything but theories of how things could work. plaggypig, got anything to show where people are doing well with .tel? Frankly, it's what I have been waiting on this whole time but all I get in return is a bunch of hot air and puff.

 

[plaggypig]

Your accusatory style is part of the reason why you have no credibility. It is why your posts are deleted, not because of any moderator bias. Signatures that link to other forums are prohibited, which would be why a mod stepped in to remove it. Any fair minded person can recognise these things.

I also note that whenever you get into difficulty a couple of familiar names seem to reappear.

You don't like the concept behind .tel - fine, we've heard you a thousand times now, just forget about it and move on to things you do like that are worth the investment of your time.

 

[Acroplex]

*I* have no credibility? LMAO
Says who?

Do you know who I am, what I've done, how many domains I've sold? Not that I need to explain it to you or others, but FFS drop the trolling, kiddo.

Poor plaggypig.

My posts get deleted because people like you jump in to scream "rape" when they cannot stand the heat of responding to valid questions.

My concept of .tel is exactly what I say it is: a TLD that cannot be developed.

Hey, this is not your "I love .tel" thread, it's a general thread discussing .tel, so telling me to move on sounds pretty ballsy. And you evade the question yet again. Do you work as a TelNic programmer, plaggypig?

 

[Kate]

Plaggypig, I was referring to the wonderful ASCII output of .tel domains on your computer screen.

You can do ASCII art with .tel domains. Finally one creative use of the extension :bingo:

In 3-5 years, the naysayers will either look like geniuses, or else someone with little foresight....

Thanks but it doesn't take a genius to figure it out.
In 3 years it will be 2012, the sunrise domains will begin to drop as their initial 3-year term is over. With 3 years ? telnic don't have faith that people will renew ?

 

[plaggypig]

Do you know who I am,

No.

Do you work as a TelNic programmer, plaggypig?

No.

Now let me ask a few questions that have been put to you many times without being addressed; how many .tel domains do you currently own, how many other extensions did you secure acro-related names in, and how many .tel domains did you try (and fail) to buy at landrush?

That has nothing to do with the uber failure of .tel......Still waiting on those good .tel examples that everyone has been talking about......Would any pro-tellers care to post their projects so I can see working examples of how .tel can be useful besides a link directory?
