you said we are all competitors. I'll be frank; I doubt that we probably are.

Well cant say you are right or wrong there, with a 9-5 career I do little domain work compared to those that have so much spare time on their hands.

But quality is better than quantity, and its pointless asking what has been you biggest,best most profitable achievment as you wont want to discuss it, perhaps that answers a question in itself.

Yes I totally agree. Andrew is certainly all of those things.

[Sharpy]

add "in denial" to that list lol

_Ronnie_ has already qualified, at least twice in this thread, that I have some 'excellent domain names'. I didn't ask him to do that, but I accept his compliment and have also returned it. Since this thread was originally praising 'Detagged.co.uk' for getting 'half.co.uk', if _Ronnie_ is happy to say this in public, I would have thought it would be quite obvious that he has an idea of what he is talking about.

Whilst I am happy to contribute to this forum, as I have always done, I would prefer not to provide a list of my portfolio. This is for a number of reasons, including the fact that I don't advertise services to the public and I don't actively advertise any of my domain names as 'for sale'.

As regards us being 'competitors'. I can say for certain that we're not. I have never seen your name in the WHOIS database as a result of any domain name I have been after (i.e. because I or someone else failed to secure it). Since this is the case I can say with confidence that we cannot possibly be in competition.

Why? Do people's opinions of you matter this much?

I remember seeing a website by someone in Blackpool who lists about 1000 domains and then asserts that the total value is about 10 million pounds! http://www.your-name-here.co.uk/stock.html

Most of the names on that list became free in January.

That's where I got cunnilingus - although not in the biblical sense, I hasten to add...

Yeh, I noticed. By my calculations, they are now only worth 5 million

Many of them are still available, some are detagged and I have seen one that I know they do not own, they never registered and very certainly isn't for sale.

David...

Just out of pure curiousity. I know you don't advertise your domains. Do you go out and contact companies who you think mayh be interested in the domains you hold? Or do you wait for them to come to you (and rub your hands together with glee)?

Or do you prefer to develop the domains you catch?

I've contacted companies in the past in relation to a small number of domain names, where I have felt that the names in question were totally generic. The success of this method varies greatly and in all truth, I am not a great fan of this process.

I've also been contacted by people interested in some of my domain names; even to the point of people tracking me down and phoning me up to ask how I got a particular name.

Everything I register is for development. It just so happens that a third party may decide that they are interested in a domain name that I hold, perhaps making me an offer. If that occurs, I go from there.

I'll hold you to that statement, Andrew.

I agree with point 1 - it's hard to find the right takers and best to wait for them to come for you. We all know that they'll pay more if they're desperate for it!

Have you finished development on any of your sites yet? I've noticed that some forward to another of your certain domains. Speaking of which, where's the tickbox to tell it not to ask me if I want to set it as my homepage again?

I'll contact you in private (probably tomorrow) with regards to the above, and also with regards to a couple of other things, since I feel that we're starting to venture outside the scope of this thread.

I'll be in touch shortly.

Thanks.

I knew you couldn't stick to 'I have nothing more to say to you', Andrew. :laugh: Do you ever follow through with anything you say?

With regards to what you have tried your best to string together above; absolutely none of it makes any sense! No change there either! :laugh:

THIS is what passes for moderation here? Whois-search acts more like a 2 year old than a moderator.

If the above is any example of the maturity level here by the "moderator", it presents an immature and very unprofessional image of DNForum.
