You might be a domainer if...

[007]

Ok, the rules are simple. Let's see how long we can make this.

Then we can compile the best 10 into a David Letterman top 10 style list.

I started two threads like this. (They are the opposite of each other.) Make sure you know which one you are replying to!

(I'll start with a few off the top of my head)

You might be a domainer if...

1. When somebody on TV makes up a phrase you check to see if the .com is available.
2. When you type in a URL and get a 404, you check the Whois.
3. You own your own personal name as a .com.
4. You own your own personal name as multiple extensions.
5. You don't know what GOOG is trading at, but you know the highest reported domain sale of last week.
6. You were involved in the highest reported domain sale of last week.
7. You have more domains than friends.
8. You purposely leave the .net available for registration so some sucker will develop it and indirectly send traffic to your .com of the same name.
9. You register the .com as well as the .net, and then sell the .net without mentioning that you also own the .com, for reasons stated in #8.
10. You have spent enough money on domains to buy a nice house. (Or two)

Ok, the next person has to start with #11, etc. :cheeky:
