Nice Acro, you beat out pills.tel
I never said that .TEL domain info sites are SEO optimized
Also being so new, very few sites link to them yet, so they have no or low PR score, unlike your highly rated blog and web sites... For $11 to $15 a pop, I view .TEL as an experimental, inexpensive form of getting potential advertising exposure, with Hosting fees prepaid to boot.

I read your blog post about .tel being a potential gold mine for spammers/scammers so I'm going to test that out.

Good names, but what do they mean to you? Is dun.tel supposed to be like Dontell?
The number was only ~600 yesterday! It's been slowly rising since then. As of when I started this thread, it was at 1340. Now it's got another thousand indexed.
That could change in the future. These domains might get indexed VERY well by Google considering their purpose and limitation (in the future). The limitation guarantees that these domains will not be used to distribute malware or run scams directly. Hell, due to the consistent format of these pages, Google might even include them in its own directory services and then our domains would show up above all the search results. Who knows... anything is possible.Search for "pills.tel" in Google, then tell me what is the #1 result

Nitro, I need 6 numbers from you, since you can foresee the future. Help me win the lotto, my friend

Nitro4, I agree that is a large possibility... and one I hope for (even sooner than you mentioned). And since Acro doesn't deserve the lotto numbers, PM 'em to me.
Interesting information: Check out the deletion rate for .tel @ Dynadot! (Scroll to "Limitations on TEL Grace Deletions")

Hmmm. Not sure if you're as stupid as you sound. Maybe you're morei won't take crap from someone who thought that "acroplex" was worth registering pre-general availability
After all, believing that Telnic will succumb to your "wet dream" of changing their business plan so that your worthless .tel domains become real domains 3-5 years in the future, sounds like a complete fool's gold.
And I think it's as possible as Jeb Bush becoming Florida's governor ever again.

Acro, you are way too bitter. Calm down and be more positive and optimistic. You probably didn't invest any money in this, so why are you so defensive about it? It seems like a .tel caught you in a dark alley one night and did unlawful things to you. Don't worry, I won't.tel
Here's how I see it... this company is backed by many millions of dollars. I don't see such a business allowing their large investment to crumble to the ground without at least attempting to fix it. And what Nitro4 said would be their last resort of attempting to resolve their worthless TLD. Hence, the chances of it happening after they have failed may be higher than you expect.

Me, bitter?
Why, because I am not a lemming from Telsters?
Or did you start this thread to promote your .tel domains? After all, you are openly advertising them in a non-sale thread.
Now, in case you missed the memo, .tel domains are the way they are and that's not going to change, because when the Telnic registry received approval from ICANN, that's for the exact functionality that they applied for. Nothing can change - unless ICANN approves it.
Before you tie your panties in a knot, think: what can you do with a one page .tel that cannot display your logo, other images, can't be hosted and behaves unlike other domains?
I suggest instead of evangelizing more Telnic propaganda to the clueless ones, to use some common sense about what constitutes a solid investment and what doesn't.
I've heard the same exact phrases when .mobi started...
It's funny how people follow the propaganda.
.TEL = CRAP

OK nitro, what would you like to bet on and how much?
First off, I have no intention of trying to sell my .tel domains right now. I even listed the ones I am going to grace delete in case someone wants to snatch them up at their favorite registrar at reg fee pricing.
You seem like an intelligent fellow (accept my compliment), so I am failing to see how you cannot comprehend what we are saying (compliment retracted?). There is no reason Telnic cannot propose another plan to ICANN and have it accepted.
No one said this was a solid investment. In fact, we have said several times how this will probably be a bust and is simply entertaining us at the moment. If domains are your passion, or sexy lookin' domains, then at least be entertained by the thought of something positive coming from this TLD!

dammit cun.tel :( lool
I also registered dun.tel today...don't ask me why...i just like the names
as for selling high price...hopefully soon but I know it won't happen anytime soon or in the future as the business plan is pretty crappy atm.
I registered cun.tel and dun.tel to show off to my real life freinds that doesn't know a crap about domain and show them I have really short domain names*they are all jealous*

Cee, hence lies the problem. If you personally don't care if it's a solid investment and have money to burn, let this be your prerogative. But to invite others, less well-off fellows to join in and get burned, that's almost criminal.
The same story was repeated with .mobi and .asia. Maybe some folks need a third time to seal the charm.
Acro, I'm not misleading anyone down a fantasy. I'm simply stating possibilities and allowing people to make their own decisions. If someone else wants to spend $10/yr on a nifty name and they can afford it, I provide them with some possibilities of it becoming more in the future. Not that this possibility should be the reason for them registering.
As I just mentioned, I will be dropping all the domains under "----- Domains Letting Go -----" in the first post of this thread. If you're interested in any, I'll PM you the moment I delete them and you can grab whatever you want.I registered cun.tel and dun.tel to show off to my real life freinds that doesn't know a crap about domain and show them I have really short domain names
