Hi All
Just thinking aloud here, but perhaps an idea for admin, and I would like people's thoughts.
I am a bit of a futurologist, and I am always thinking about what future industries / future consumer products there might be, with a view to registering the relevant domains. I don't manage to think of things that often, but when I do, I look first at the best extensions, i.e. .com, .net, .eu, co.uk, but often the lesser extensions will remain available, because once I've got the good extensions, I don't want everything for my portfolio.
I was thinking maybe we should have some sort of tip-off club for "future" domains, like for instance the .org of a potentially good name, that are still unregistered. Maybe we could have a club for established forum members, where if a domain was registered, a small tip, say £30, was made via paypal to whoever gave out the information. Obviously people would have to know who the member's of this club really were, and there would have to be rules.
I expect other people around here also leave potentially good domains unregistered too because they're not needed by themselves.
What do people think about the idea? Any input Admin?
