Hey Biggie,

DNF has been online since when? They should have printed the domain bible a long time ago to avoid the constant monotonous rifts that goes on over here over which names are valuable and which are not. The forum has been quiet on this for long as I know or perhaps DCG never considered an educational material for newbies and all domainers alike worth its time.

Why is this important? This matters because I have to go extra lengths to educate prospective buyers, who have the cash but little knowledge on domain value other than the noise they hear on forums, industry newsletters and trade shows. And that would be fine by me, but not the rejection they deliver based on what they have heard and read from a few, (Who I won't name) who use the media to solidify their self interests.

Makes me sick to the bone.

If a majority in the domain name industry were knowledgeable, there would be no hyperbole, which we see and hear of those who control the domain media. Case in point - The ever growing hype on CCTLD's. This is done by design to inflate its values artificially within the industry. Whatever happened to the LLLL and L-L-L hype that persisted here for God knows how long?

It is time, domainers get educated on the true merits of domaining instead of running after dreams and especially artificial TRENDS manufactured by the few who simply happened to make some big sales and acquire title of an expert. Privately, I make some big sales too, but that does not qualify me to guide the next generation of domainers into a frenzy to fill my greedy coffers.

You raised an important issue. But where is this headed and what will be its outcome?

I find this topic too important to end up as another mud slinging thread.
