I Used to Own Namejet.com

[doobee]

I used to own namejet.com! Well it was a while ago... Back in 1999 I registered the domain (it doesn't show on archive.org unfortunately) for a "domain name generator" to help me think up of different domain names to register. It was for a school programming project. I dropped it the next year.

Anyone else ever own a "famous" domain?

Funny, I bought "DomainJet.com" off the same guy that owned "NameJet.com" and was thinking of buying both at the time. Guess I picked either the wrong or the right one depending on how far enom was willing to go to obtain it.

Maybe there is a lesson to learn here. If you think your domain is worth some amount, don't let it go too cheap. Who knows what's the next big site will be... LOL
