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!people pay to specifically sell domains in the platinum area- the amount of people viewing posts are no higher than other sites that let you sell for free- to limit sales threads to a couple a month would not make sense- all the other areas are free, why would you pay to list 5 posts a month? i dont think there is a need to worry about 150,000 active members- there is probably less than 2000 "active" members.
it would be different if there were 10,000 active buyers and sellers in here.
if there is some reorganization, that might help sort things better.
The Bids For Kids Charity Domain Auction is happening right now! Only until Oct. 3rd:

I actually just paid the $40 for upgraded membership because of the greater control here. I'll likely take the next membership step in the near future if the under $100 and 4 character forums are enforced. I don't have all day to browse 100's of uncategorized threads, especially when most are 4L.com flippers. Greater control is what makes this site better, not worse. And $40 or $380 is not a lot a to pay for the time those enforced restrictions save me.
The new forum will take some getting used to by the members to realize the new short character forum exists. We're moving threads into it accordingly, in batches, and notifying the thread starter each time a thread gets moved.
We realize the need for organization, we spend quite a bit of energy on it.
Appreciate the feedback everyone.
the need for a 4 letters forum or less was needed and despite some people who can`t wait to see that LLLL.com without 10,000 OVT with ext are useless, this may not happen unless we`ll start to see even LLL.com such QXZ.com selling for $100 and not $7,000+
So unless that happen, there will be a lot of people dealing with lots of LLLL.com whether you like it or not, that`s the way things go in an increasing need of domain names for the 6+ Billion people.
And just to say that, if you can`t cope with this, what are you going to do when/if even the 5 letters .com 1 day maybe will run out ? It may happen in 30 years or in 10 years.....but if it does, then what are you going to do?
Oh my God, I can`t be a domainer because there are too many LLLLL.com threads around? But please...

There'll be massive drops some day. Tha vast numbers some are buying will show that some have no value for endusers.
Businesses come and go. Most last less than 5 years, so it could be that seperate entities will vie for the same names on occasion to keep some market there. We'll see.
Point is, there are threads showing that some are just trying to buy all of this or that. And it could prove that less than 5% of any portfolio is worth anything at all.
Not good at explaining myself sometimes, so let's rephrase.
When YOU want something 'tangible' and Google for it, do you type gibberish into the search box?I mean REALLY.
Without a lot of marketing and branding, do you type 'games.com' into the address box looking for games? Or just type sdf3x.com hoping to find games?
I personally think a lot of these 'hits' being reported are domainers coming up with gibberish ideas find that one is taken. So they, the idea guy, will go to the site to see what's there. And there are a lot of domainers.
Another example. I got a WW Domain site. I asked around to locals here to see what they would search for if they wanted to register a names for themselves. 95% said they didn't have a clue what to search for, in any way shape or form. Most go on the web and look up spellable stuff OR what they've seen marketed on TV!
Hope this gives you the gist of what I'm saying.
