Adam, can I be in your will? :-D

[ParkQuick.com]

Unbelievably great domain. I like the idea of selling subdomains. You could be the Forum Landlord.

[Adam Dicker]

Heres what the site will do since you all have given some great ideas, i figured i would share mine.

Features of forums.com once completed:

-Custom built forums
-Custom built forum skins
-Forum Installations and setup
-Can purchase any of 100 pre built forum templates, new templates added every week.
-Link database so people can submit a link
-Will be coupled with my domain avatars.com so will also do custom avatars.
-Will have a top 100 site list for forums.
-Forum reviews
-Forum of the week spot ad, rotating weekly.
-and the subdomains idea you gave me that I never thought of till now.

Please feel free to add other comments on this or something related.

And.... most of all thanks to all for your input.

Sounds like a great idea. Good luck with it. I would suggest you also put up a forum on the site to discuss all things forum related.

Huge, top 10 domains of all time for sure. Check out Ezboard.com how you can join
one forum and use that ID in 100,000s of others.

Reseller $60,000
End User $250,000

an absolute gold mine. IMHO, the majority of the prices given here are lower than its value.

this is one of those names that will just keep growing and growing in value each month for the rest of the nets life.

I would have paid over $100K for it.
I think it is easily worth twice that and more.

I have been looking for such a service! What took you so long! ;-)

Really a great idea, as there are a lot of website owners out there who haven't the slightest clue how to get a forum up and running. I happen to be one of them.

The only other thing that I think would make money for you would be to make Forums.com a "Forum Search Engine". I am always looking for good forums to visit. I would definitely make it a "Favorite" if you provided such a service. Obviously revenue would be had by charging advertising fees and by having "Google Adsense" up on the search results page. You could still offer your "custom built" forum service as way to get webmasters to your site.

My philosophy is the path of least resistance with the most "pop" is the best way to go with internet ventures.

note: I would seriously consider the "SE" idea. You have the perfect name for such a venture. You could also try to "regionalize" your "SE" by offering "Forums.com" of China type services, "Forums.com" of Japan, etc. Also many corporate types would visit your site to check up on what various forums are saying about their companies. Maybe you could offer a service (for a price) that would alert them of when somebody is "bad mouthing" them.

Heres what the site will do since you all have given some great ideas, i figured i would share mine.

I believe it would be a good idea to add a "Forums directory" - people will find easier other people with the same interests...

[StockDoctor]

Adam, if it was me, I'd be looking to compete with PHPbb and Vbulletin. You've got the main name. I'll be one of your first beta customers. I've got some great forum .coms waiting.

If I had it I wouldn't even ask for an appraisal - no way would I sell it

I never had intentions of selling just wanted to figure if the price I paid was fair.

i wonder what price that might be :huh: can we have a ballpark idea?

[Banned: urbanvilla]

Yeah good point,people are afraid to tell you the price for some reason as if its a real dark secret,normally they are embarrased to say because they have paid to much,im open with my purchases if i pay 5k for a domain and its worth 100k i will say or vice versa !!

There should be no shame in your domain !!! wotever you pay because its only a game !!! for cash !!

[lukeeales]

Adam I think it's really commendable that you intend to develop these names (forums.com and avatars.com) - it's definately the way forward, and with domains like these the sky is the limit when it comes to development.

Man, and I thought starting your own registrar was big. Imagine being the new vBulletin...

Forums.com $100k, and for the hell of it, avatars.com $40k

[wistow]

Adam I think it's really commendable that you intend to develop these names (forums.com and avatars.com)

Ditto! I see so many excellent domain names that have no development planned and it makes me frustrated, because if I owned a domain name anywhere near as good as those i'd feel obliged to develop them

Once developed, i'll definetly be using your services. Need any help, let me know, no charge of course.
