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.

The title of this post is a tongue-in-cheek example of the misleading titles seen around the Sales forums.
Wouldn't it be better to set as a rule that at least one of the domains for sale is listed in the title? Instead of "whoah! free PREMIUM overture domain" and it's myDomainBlowz.ws :-D

with VB3, you just have to hover your mouse over the thread title in the forum view and it shows the first few lines of the post...
True, however there is no substitute for visual scanning. I believe that recently the situation has deteriorated & not too far from the example above.
On the other hand, one of the most professional posters is Duke; his posts consistently describe what's for sale - including TLD's - and if it's part of a multi-post offer. I always check out his posts for bargains :-D
It's actually getting better. Through repeated abuse by many members with misleading titles, I've just learned to ignore any of their for sale posts. This saves a lot of time and eliminates 80% of the for sale ads.

Funny, I tend to do the same.Originally Posted by aactive

But some sellers here know about that so they try to trick you to click on it by putting a bunch of white space near the top of the post so you only see the post top area and the names are not visible when the mouse hovers but there once you go to the post.
Umm ..You had a type RadiStar ..let me fix that for you..
"it's myDomainBlwz.COM
Yes, I find it irritating myself but find I also simply ignore those peoples sales threads...you know it's going to be garbage ..no need to open it.
You must be Robocop :-D
This is so true and it drives me nuts. Great point!
i must be the only one who looks at the "super duper" threads becasue of the title, but iam taken in my eevrything.. the shouty the better..
the only problem with putting name/names in the title, is deciding which one is good enough ;-) and with my names thats impossbile as i have so many bad ones and so little good ones.
also i put a space at the top, as i think it looks untidy, when the mouse overs show only a few of your names...
wilco
maybe we should have a vote?
Sounds like a good idea
Actually the measure has been going on for a while now on domainst@te.com - one of the few things they did right - and it's simple to follow: post the domain in the title, TLD included. What's so hard to follow? If you must be creative about a title, so be it, just add the dang domain :-D
i agree in principal and have done so at domainst ate
but i tend to put a lot of names in my sales threads as i want as much coverage as possible, maybe a new section for selling single names? and another one for bulk names? or maybe not..
A solution is to list several names in the title and add something along the lines of "...and another 25 names".
Actually you don't need to use an "alias" for DomainState. Contrary to some popular myth, DNForum does NOT censor other forum names or URLs just because they are competitions. Of course, it would be nice and actually a common forum etiquette (just like you have done it right, Theo) not to directly link to another domain-related forum.
As for including at least 1 domain name in the thread title, I don't really have any personal stand on this one. Yes, to some extent, it seems to be more informative to buyers; but then, this also take away the fun of guessing what kind of crappy name(s) are actually listed inside. And I guess most members have gradually learned to differentiate between useful and lousy thread titles. Let's hear more from other members.
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.
I just read threads that have 3 or more replies already :-D

I think the original sugestion is a very good idea
yeah, or even 5 .com, 20 .us domains including blahblah.com would make a good title.
