You might NOT be a domainer if...

[007]

Ok, the rules are simple. Let's see how long we can make this.

Then we can compile the best 10 into a David Letterman top 10 style list.

I started two threads like this. (They are the opposite of each other.) Make sure you know which one you are replying to!

(I'll start with a few off the top of my head)

You might NOT be a domainer if...

1. You own the best site ever.. well, wwwthe-best-sit3-ever.info
2. You got the best site ever (see above) for only $25.
3. You were talked into a development deal with the original owner of the best site ever (see above) and instead of $25, you got a deal for $35, that included a logo for wwwthe-best-sit3-ever.info
4. You fell out of your chair when you saw that e.com was available.
5. You called GoDaddy when you received an error telling you e.com could not be registered at this time.
6. When asking somebody for their web address in person, you try to sound cool, and you ask them for the "Earl...."
7. The first and second best domains you have ever purchased are the same name. Once for the reg fee, and once for the overpriced squatters fee when you forgot to renew.
8. You own several typo domains.. but only because you fat fingered the keys when registering them.
9. You try to sell wwwthe-best-sit3-ever.info for $99,999,999 on eBay.
10. You actually go register wwwthe-best-sit3-ever.info and do the things mentioned in this thread with it...

Ok, the next person has to start with #11, etc. :cheeky:
