Your Registered That Domain Name? http://slickdomains.com/excuse-me-your-registered-that-domain-name/ http://slickdomains.com/excuse-me-your-registered-that-domain-name/#comments Wed, 07 May 2008 23:00:32 +0000 Kyle Eslick http://slickdomains.com/?p=55 Hopefully anyone who reads this post will take it with a grain of salt as I will be venting a little bit, but has anyone else noticed the really poor choice of domains registered lately?  Check out any of For Sale sections of the domain forums and you are in for a real treat.  

I’m sure we’ve all had those “What was I thinking?” moments on ocassion, but many of these domains are really bad.   I mean really really bad.  In many cases, they are so bad that I wouldn’t take them off their hands for free because it would just clog up my accounts.  Do these people just have unlimited money to waste?  Do they even try?  Is any research completed prior to the domain purchase?

Unfortunately, domainer ettiquette requires me to refrain from posting a “WTF?” type of response to their posts, so I figured I would put it here.   I would really like to know what some of these people were thinking when they register their domain names.  Has anyone else noticed this trend getting much worse over the past few months?

As a quick footnote, I thought it would be fun to mention our worst domains ever registered.  It is never a good idea to register a domain just because it sounds cool, but I was guilty of that when I registered ShadowOrb.com.   Yikes!   What was the worst domain you ever registered?
