Thanks for the flashback
I was SteveK back then.. Coming third in that competition was the highlight of my domaining career.
If you are new to domains and looking to buy, sell and learn about domains then you have come to the right place. DNForum is the largest domain name community on the internet and continues to grow every day. There are over 105,000 domainers on DNForum doing everything from buying domains, selling domains, learning about domains and discussing domains. Take a minute and Register.
Register Today on DNForum IT'S FREE!I often hear newbies and some of the not so newbies exclaim their wish that they'd gotten a jump on others and started as a Domainer 3 years earlier. So I went back over 3 years from today to see what DNF members were guilty of regging back then. Some of these names mentioned were regged in 2001 or before, so take that into consideration. Here's a copy of the October 2002 Contest post.
Just for Laughs
35 members participated in this contest submitting 84 really bad names. These were members who were brave enough to stand up to public ridicule, and will each be rewarded with 10 DNF$. We all owe them an atta-boy for paying to reg these names and removing them from the available lists. In fact, some members continue to renew these names. Several members had numerous additional names to enter but the contest was limited to 6 entries each.
A thank you is in order for the Judges -RJ- and NamePopper and DNmother
1st Place tackshookers.com 750 DNF$ to lotsofissues
2nd Place britneyspearchucker.com 250 DNF$ to kidkool
3rd Place savemoneyonmeat.com 50 DNF$ to SteveK

shall we do the same contest again?
There goes whatever reputation I ever had :-D
By the way who was dnmother? I don't remember her.
Isnt -RJ- from name pros? Did we have a contest here at dnforum or namepros?
lol....
Not if you still remember the (in)famous persona NamePopper who was once "friend and buddy" of many here and was even featured on DNJournal.Originally Posted by khuldun
Profoundly influenced by #Bauhaus, @Nameslave unrepentantly embraces #Minimalism in his #multimedia portfolio. His early works include an experimental adaptation of Chekhov’s Cherry Orchard inspired at least partly by Robert Fripp. His totally irrelevant M.Ed. dissertation examines Organizational Culture and Change Management.
Heh, I got 2nd place.

i really do wish i had started earlier though...
I did start pretty early, 1997,...but my name was already taken by an architecture firm whose partners last names happened to match my first and last name. They've since disappeared and snapnames did snag it for a reasonable price last year! I still haven't done anything with it. But it does make me happy. Stupidly, I never thought of squatting. I only bought names I had a direct interest in. But domains were $150/yr when I started.
