Time For .X. to retire

[.X.]

From domaining. I have pondered the decision for a few months now, A hard decision, But a just decision to retire from domaining. I still have some websites and domains making me some money, But i wont be reging, buying or selling any more.

I give my up most respect to Ron and Rachael for making it all happen for me. Props and love to you both. I wish you both many more years of success.

The great friends i have made in the domain industry are priceless.

Eric, Mark, Michelle, Jennifer and all my great friends here, Much love to you, keep rockin!

We had some awesome times through the years!

I wont be around here much, But i will check in here from time to time.

.X.

:hearts: John This is something I decided also some time back so understand where you are comming from. I sold off around 3k names and have just a few keepers now but have not been active for some time.. As long as Namepros is here I will be a part of it just in a different way for me.

Take care in everything you do and yes.. We did have some fab times :tu: This is not goodbuy just a take care and see you around.

Big hugs Big guy.....

Goodluck on your new non domainer life John

Based on the last three names I bought I won't be far behind you.

Good Luck and it's better out there....

I bet we all shall retire from the internet one day. Sometimes I think I fed up hosting and marketing. But then I remember why I like this job and continue. I think one day I will not find the reason to remain.

John,

We've known each other for a long time - which would not have happened if it weren't for NamePros. Life happens, so I understand the want or need to give up something you have had such a passion about.

Maybe one day I will make it out to Texas, if your crazy arse would not get me killed or arrested out there that is :lol:

Good luck bro.

No question about it bro, NamePros has been a God send. I bet there aren't many people around here that can say they knew you when you were in High School p) Come on down to Texas bro, We can eat us some BBQ and have some beers

Hey John

I'm with you...been slowly cutting down the folio for the last year and a half and really only want to end up with 15-20 sites.

I hope you don't leave us here on Namepros though. One of my all time favourite members who simply has awesome taste in music, it would be sad to see you go.

Guess it will give you more time to follow the the mighty Ryche around...lol

Good luck dude and don't be a stranger.

Cheers

Jason

Good luck on your new life

Being new in this industry, I always wonder what makes someone decide to retire (apart from age, so I'm talking for people in their 40s-50s).

 

[PSS_Lena]

Goodluck to your new venture!! but you can always come back

 

[RevolutionaryDomains]

Just a quick well wish your way. Best of luck in all your endeavors. Hope to still see you around the forum despite the changing times.

Hi John!

I haven't been as active here over the past couple years or so as I would like to as have been busy, but I check in periodically. I'm sorry to hear you're retiring from domaining and I wish you nothing but the very best in your future endeavors!

Hope you're having a great holiday weekend, John!

Best regards,
Chris

It was a very hard decision, But ultimately, Every thing was saying get out. Domaining has brought me a lot of good fortune. About one year ago, I decided to take some of the money that i had made domaining and start selling used musical instruments, Despite a less than stellar economy, My business has been doing awesome

Good luck on your new life

I will never retire from NamePros, It is a family thing to me, NamePros is. So many great friends that have supported me through the years.

Hey Bro,

Old domainers never die, they just stop regging.


Hope everything works out for you, man.
