This domain is taken in all the main extensions except .us. I know it probably doesn't have much commercial value but I thought it would be a catchy name for a food and restaurant site/forum. I'm trying to whittle down my domains to a mangable number, which for me is around 15-20. Do you think this should stay on my "renew" list? Do you think it has any value undeveloped? Thanks for any input.

Solid domain. Dot us extensions are going to become more valuable as time passes. How much traffic are you currently getting at the domain?

I agree - this one is as keeper. $100 today, more as the .us domain matures.

Thanks for the input. But I think some of you were confused. I don't have the .us. I have fatguy.ORG. I was saying that fatguy is taken in all the extensions except .us. Anyway, you all helped me make my mind up to keep the domain. The last I checked, fatguy.us was still available, if anybody wants to reg it. Thanks again for the input.

greggish, this is not one of your better ones. I'd let it drop. Don't see any economic potential here. If you had the .com, perhaps...

Now you've gone and put me back on the fence again. Well, at least I have 4 months to make up my mind.

cant see any value in it.
But then again, I am not a fat :)
there is a restaurant in downtown Athens called fatguy, so maybe there are commercial uses, but as a .org?
.info would be better for this one, as you could input info for fat guys I guess.

fatguys.org is still available and better in my opinion - dump it.

There used to be a website called www.fat-guy.com that was a forum where people talked about restaurants in NYC. The owner of the site was also known as fatguy on the forum. He since changed the name of the site to www.egullet.org , but www.fat-guy.com still redirects there.
