Roughly the TRUTH » Domains http://www.joelneuenhaus.com Just another WordPress weblog :: by JFN Sat, 03 Jul 2010 22:37:50 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 Domain Name Forum Review – Top Five Forums for Domainers http://www.joelneuenhaus.com/2009/07/11/domain-name-forum-review-top-five/ http://www.joelneuenhaus.com/2009/07/11/domain-name-forum-review-top-five/#comments Sun, 12 Jul 2009 03:58:55 +0000 JFN http://www.joelneuenhaus.com/2009/07/11/domain-name-forum-review-top-five-forums-for-domainers/ After Google didn’t give me the results I wanted, here is my completely arbitrary list of the best domain name forums on the web. Without further adieu from the fifth best, to number one:

  1. The Webmaster World | Domain Names (5,200 Posts)
  2. Domain Name Forum | Acorn UK Domain Names (196,043 Posts)
  3. DNForum – The Place To Talk Domains (1,503,829 Posts)
  4. DomainState.com – Domain discussion forum (469,771 Posts)
  5. NamePros.Com | Buy. Sell. Discover Domain Names (3,380,038 Posts)

The number of posts is as reported by each forum as of 7/12/09. This is based on personal experience and the thinking that the number of posts should be a rough estimate of how robust the discussion is at each domaining community.

Buying, developing and selling domain names is a hobby of mine and I have found these communities to be a great place to gain insights into the industry and the business. I hope this list is helpful to those who are just starting out with their domain name portfolios and possibly to those who have been in the business a long time.

Did I miss any good domain forums? It would be great to know, just drop a note in the comments…

Many individuals made incredible profits; everyone from the single-family home flipper to the big-time bond insurers at AIG.

Attorney’s are now preparing for the legal battles that will ensue from this dramatic fall out. As the economic picture becomes clearer and the new regulatory regime is put in place, lawsuits are sure to follow:

SubprimeLawyers [org]
SubprimeLaw [org]
SubprimeAttorneys [net]

After deciding not to put these domain names to use, I am putting them up for sale on GoDaddy.com. The reserve price is $50, but feel free to bid as much as you want ;)
