You know you're a domainer when...

[grcorp]

A normal person watches a satirical video, in which part of the joke involves a domain name of some sort to align with the joke, and that person thinks to themselves, "haha, I wonder if that's an actual site?"

A domainer goes onto GoDaddy, checks to see if it's available, and if it is, registers it and parks it at Sedo.

Unfortunately, the last name which I applied the latter scenario to wasn't available. But just made me confirm that I'm that hardcore of a domainer

lol good one.

You know you're a domainer when you’ve bought a LLLL.com that doesn’t even make sense.

You know you're a domainer when this just never gets old!

I actually kind of love "StaplerStaplerStaplerStapler.com".

This guy should be really grateful for fake mustaches

Oh, and another "You know you're a domainer when..." - you wonder why the hell formspring chose "formspring.me". Because of this curiosity, you went to formspring.com, only to find out it redirects to formspring.me. And then you checked the .net, .org, .biz and .info in hopes they were unregistered only to find they also all redirect there. And you didn't take my word for it, so you tried it out (at least formspring.com) yourself.

I lose it every time he starts on the "Goooooooooooooooooooooooogle" one.

You also know you're a domainer when you become curious as to whether those domains are registered or not, and with that in mind, started to (or at least thought about) counting all the l's in that "Gooooogggllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllek.info"

You know you are a domainer when you are so shocked that someone was creative enough to reg a domain you came up with, so you check the whois to find out when the name was regged.

 

[Tia Wood]

And then discover you already own it.

And then discover you already own it.

LOL!!! You beat me to it!

 

[Infoproliferati]

Really? The moment will make you feel very stupid. Yet special, in the domainer kind of way. :grouphug:

...see a name on the drop, think how great it sounds and looks, and buy it - only to find out that you owned it and just dropped the damn thing because of no traffic and revenue.

Ok, you have too many domains... move hands away from the keyboard and close laptop for a few days...

You never watch tech news or read a magazine more than a few feet away from your computer.

You get asked to pay for appraisals daily.

You get a renewal notice email and you think "I have domains there?"

60 days is a lifetime.
