lol this forum doesn't suck.... you do... (what you suck is debatable (alluding to lolipops)) .... if this forum sucks so bad, screw your membership fee and never come back- doubt you would add anything to the site anyways.
If your identity is so closely tied to this forum that you take a general statement about the forum to be a personal insult then you are a turd -- without a life.

I doubt I will participate in this suck forum much. The only reason I may stick around is to try to get some of my wasted money back by diluting the forum with babble. Different strokes for different folks. And you x are a different stroke entirely.
 
whats the sense of investing in .mobi. Have any of you actually acquired premium names? All the premium names last I checked are on .mobi's 30 page PREMIUM RESERVED LIST. LOL what a joke.
 
I don't think arrogance is the right word. When you've seen a movie enough times, eventually you become pretty confident how it will end. Not arrogant, confident. I think I've seen this movie a couple times before.

that's what yahoo used to say about google...:smilewinkgrin:

Geez buddy... calm down... despite the stench, I never called you anything outside your name. If life is so rough, I personally offer to reimburse your "platinum" fee- not that anyone will miss you- (actually I won't). Deep down inside I hope that small fee kills you out of house and home. Have fun with your "different strokes" buddies. I'll let NAMBLA know that you are still a die hard member fighting real hard for the cause.

Back to important matters:

.mobi is going nowhere. "We" already made our money and "they"will continue making money for a few more months- till "it" dwindles into the halycon days of yore.
 
Careful, fool.

As far as flamewars go, this one is pretty lame.
 
.mobi is a sham. This isn't just a guess but pure common sense. There are your great keywords & average to above average versions of those same keywords or topics.

The problem is most of the .mobi's people register & try to sell are complete garbage & make no sense with the extension.

A made up example would be scooter.mobi

Some clown will say xxx or xxxx for scooter.mobi

Think about it, does the name even fit the extension? No, it really doesn't. Unfortunately many of the obsessed .mobi lovers are too stupid to get it.

While I think .mobi is a sham, some names are pretty good.

Stocks.mobi

Scores.mobi

Porn.mobi

Names like those make sense & would be premiums. Some random 2+ word .mobi = most likely garbage. Many just don't get i though.

The funniest part has to be when people go rah rah over big .mobi sales. Guess what folks it still won't help you if you have garbage .mobi's.
 
When .xxx makes it - *when*, not *if* because GW Bush's administration's days are limited - it will be the best thing that has happened on the Internet since the inception of the web browser.

Porn drives the Internet, whether we like it or not.


yep, hype it up... hype hype hype it..you're doing a very good job.
see now, its easy to get exicited about a TLD aint it?


no .xxx is not needed, no .mobi is not needed..

acroplex, you've probably been on the internet long enough to realize that it is not simply what is *needed* that thrives in this world... it has something to do with *okay ideas* and who has a good BUSINESS PLAN for them..

.xxx and .mobi are perfect examples, you pretty much said it yourself.
 
I still relish my one and only .name domain.

hit.name

Think of all the subdomain possibilities...

a.hit.name
ItsA.Hit.name
s.hit.name
TakeA.Hit.name
 
agreed 100% MJNels!!!!

Good point

Little confused here...you talk about .mobi being a sham yet you praise some .mobi names and sales.

How can it be both? Good keywords are good keywords but not all extensions or TLD's are good TLD's from the gist of this thread.

I did not praise any .mobi names & sales. I was just stating that certain names make sense for the extension & could see why they sold. I still think the extension is a sham & won't be anything after the hype dies down.

I was just expressing how while some names are ok & make sense for the extension, most don't & the .mobi lovers usually have garbage compared to the better names that make sense.
 
Gotcha.

In your opinion, this is not to create argument or controversy, but do you think the website www.bmw.mobi is a sham (or hype) or a worthwhile effort for an international company like BMW?

Large corporations are run by people. People that can fall victim to hype just like foolish domainers. :)

Greg should buy back DNForum and remove all "new-age" TLD's.

:P
 
Wow,great,10 years later .mobi will become a second .com?

Okay, then perhaps the logical thing would be to quit bashing domainers and members on the forum and attack the mega corporations that are perpetuating the hype beginning with ICANN for allowing such an inane extension and then going after the corporations.

I just get a big kick out of seeing such nonsense comments such as "BMW falling victim to the hype".

Does this mean if I own .mobi then I am the bastard child of ICANN and I have failed to live up to the domainer's credo of "DOT COM OR BE BANNED"? Should I surrender up my portfolio?

Someone once started a thread about "which domain would you not give up" and I think I have finally solved that own puzzle in my head.

I would never ever give up the domain that I just regged...

the one and only .name domain I will probably ever own.

HIT.NAME

The possibilities are endless as a subdomain S.HIT.NAME
