Virtual Punching Bag - LET IT OUT!

[Internet.Domains]

Let it out!

Are you angry with the NewG's? Let it out!

Are you tired of the .com maximalist's? Let it out!

Got a domain gripe? Let it out!

Have you been burned in domaining? Let it out!

Is something in the domain industry bothering you? Well, of course, LET IT OUT HERE!

 

[Optimal Names]

There has been lots of reports of that going on throughout the years. Nobody has proven it that I know of, but you know what they say, "where there is smoke there is fire."

I actually had someone at GoDaddy tell me (this was back in 2002-2003) that "There isnt enough hard drive space in the world to record everyone's WHOIS lookups". I had to laugh.

Here is mine:

The "Domain Buyer Requests" Y'all seen some of those requests AND offers for them, I am sure. LOL

 

[Tunababa8v]

Op: Showcase your Namepros domain,namepros is the newest forum in town

Me: rush to register nameprosforum1.com,namepros247.com,nameprosismylife.com

Four years later, not a single offer.


Thread remain stagnant on page 1 after five years

 

[Domain_savvy]

Putting money in stocks and not knowing the limit of spent.
But it did help me to learn self-discipline which is now helping me in domaining. Bad experiences in life are not that bad after all.

 

[artstar]

seeing bizarre domains like happylook dot com sell for $40,000!

 

[DnFolk]

lack of response from potential buyer after receiving offer and negotiation. i even appreciate negative response but sudden disappearance and no reply in between offer, counter offer frustrates me like nothing else and it has been happening with me a lot in recent times specially at dan.

Besides afternic, sedo are biggest marketplaces but their UI is terrible, process of listing names there is tough, at sedo you have to confirm through nameservers and park where many times it doesnt even resolve, at afternic lot of times your domains are already listed by previous owners or new names listed go in review. you have to contact their support everytime to correct it.

imo

The owner of CBD.com, Christian Book Distributor, has said in many media articles that it's been forced to completely rebrand and change domain names due to confusion with CBD.
This is such a ridiculous lie; the amount of confusion would have had to have been immense.
Why rebrand after 40 years of successfully being known as CBD after a few confused customer's call. Since there was absolutely zero on the site which made any reference to CBD, it literally probably was only one or two calls that the owner is referring to as the confusion which forced the rebrand. The entire site was Christian-based products, bibles, mugs, keychains, dvd's...zero CBD products, zero mention of CBD at all. And yet many major media sources picked it up without a single reporter questioning the validity of the rebrand.
Not a single reporter points out how suspicious it is that a 40-year-old successful company rebrands for no valid reason at all, well, other than the fact that the domain name of the company is suddenly worth tens of millions?
That rebrand HAD to happen as the first step in selling the name.
I bet in under 6 months the CBD.com sells for like 20 million.

(What burns me is the lack of transparency, especially for a company built upon selling truth.)

 

[artstar]

people not into domaining r clueless. atypical person with the hottest 3l.com on the globe is a total dunce! the way it is in 2020. sheer luck and total ignorance = big $$$$$$$!!!

 

[Keukatodd]

Realizing that a domain had gone unlisted on ANY marketplace less than a month from it expiring.
(Learned that 1000 names plus might be too much to try to manage.)

 

[Arfy]

I hate these stupid spam emails phising for bank details or appraisal scams...but I thought I'd have a little fun with it this time. See below for the entire thread. Start reading from the bottom of this post.

Hi Feng,

Thank you for such a pleasant email this evening. I particularly like the fact that all of your emails come from a different email address, soo cool! Yes to all of your questions. See below for my high level business plan.

Business Idea:
I am looking to start a professional ass cleaning business. The business would be centred around using a conveyor belt where each person can stand on the belt and it will go into a room like a car wash. High pressure jet washers will then spray your ass and you come out the other side very clean.

How does it make money:
Each ass clean with cost 10 bucks and will take only 2 mins. If we get 500 customers a day (can do 2 customers at a time) it will take around 8 hours of work plus 2 hours of opening and closing the ass wash so 10 hours in total. 500x10bucks × 365days = $1.82M per year. if we open 20 of these with the 200M investment, your investor will get his money back in 2 years.

Funding required: 200Million USD

I hope you agree this is a great idea.

How do we proceed?

Kind regards,

Assimov Wipington

Dear Arfy ,

Thank you for your response and i dont know of what to make of your for showing interest in my proposal. I want to assure you that this is a serious transaction and if you are really interested, we will make it happen only if you can also assure us of your capability to handle a business of this magnitude requiring confidentiality and absolute trust . I will be the eyes and ears of the investor during the course of this transaction as he is indisposed and want to remain anonymous . There is considerable amount of funds in millions available for investment .

Meanwhile, Before we proceed, I need to ask you a few questions to enable me understand your business plan and evaluate it.

1. Describe the existing projects that you have that require funding ?
2. What is the ROI that can be expected per annum if the fund is invested into your projects?
3. Are you able to travel at a short notice if your presence is required in person to meet and get acquainted as business partners, facilitate the release of the funds? i.e sign agreements and necessary paperwork’s for funds transfer etc If possible, pls send me the executive summary of the project(s) you seek funding for with the ROI that can be expected per year.
4. Have you handle large volume of funds in the past ?
I will appreciate if you can provide detailed answers to the questions above. Also provide your direct telephone number so we can have a follow up conversation.
Yours Faithfully
Feng Guiji.

in working with you.

I will be keeping the details to a minimum until I get a confirmation

I know most of you might kill me for this, but I still want to let it out as the threads title says LET IT OUT!

why does most of the NOOBS (excuse me for using this word, better word would’ve been new members) on namepros think they know-it-all and try to teach you the world, including Domaining? SMH

 

[CatchDeleted]

Ok great list folks..Thanks everyone!....Here is my list ..

1. I hate when people overbid me on domains and few weeks later you realize that auction house owns it. (Non payment, fraud , greed whatever)
2. When DC grab my domain with 2 bidders and then 10 more jump in 3 days period.
3. When park(io) grabs the domain even if there is no backorder on that domain..(Just like HD (AKA Hoarding Domain..LOL)
   
4. Godaddy eternal bugs
5. Chinese bidders who bid a gigantic proxy in auction.
6. Dribble (You overbid me on shi** names too that don't make any sense for you)
   
7. Last minute snipers who know its not going to work in any platforms and just leads to bidding war. (Only auction house benefits from it)
8. Investors who thinks that all 4 letter domains should be quoted in 4 digits even the nonsense one..
9. Startups who are taking IO while they can take a great .COM name with some effort and creativity.
10. And at last , Myself when I get excited and put a full price backorder on the domain which no one wants..

It's a bit old but watch this for some good fun

 

[frank-germany]

Domainers afraid to appraise worthless names in case they get a dislike.

never done so

 

[frank-germany]

#7 - People who refuse to listen to logic at NamePros and continue to post misinformation harmful to new domainers.

#8 - The fact my computer (actually a good one) can't handle my complex excel masterpieces
!

me too

 

[artstar]

posting on np for a domain critique and getting nothing but negative bashing from dumbainers

 

[Lox]

Those who don’t participate here @ NP are happier to post Murphy's Law @ Blogs telling NP mods what to do with ... Finagle's Law

 

[Truespin Domains]

The vast majority of domains posted on NPs are utter crap. I am truly amazed at how bad 99% of the stuff I see on here is, and even more amazed at what people think it might be worth.

You get the odd gem, but it's less and less often.
