    The .UK revolution

    Think it's too soon to say if they'll dominate, but I'm confident they'll coexist. It doesn't surprise me that the tech savvies, especially domainers, will be migrating to .uk. I think Domainlore was the first site I saw using .uk. Can you imagine if Amazon shifted over :p

    The .UK revolution

    There's definitely value in a decent domain, I don't think anyone on here would argue that. But the technical value has obviously waned in favour of content. In my view, and it's what I've just said, the value is more of an emotional / psychological one. In short, in business, a great domain is...

    The .UK revolution

    Coming at this more from an end user who's dabbled here and there in selling. Do you not think it's like most commodities, a lot will depend on perception? I expect enough people over time will reg enough .uk's, enough for it to muddy the waters. Why, because most decent .co.uk's are already...

    Wanted: Domain Appraisal renewable-energy.uk

    Picked this up this morning, thought it was worth a fiver? Thoughts, does the hyphen kill it, or more importantly does the hyphen degrade any magic Google juice? TIA

    UKBackorder Auction casino-sites.uk & mobilesportsbetting.uk

    Sorry to digress a little, but it's on topic. What are peoples' thoughts on the old hyphen - these days? Providing they stack up with decent content and they're not spammy sites with a couple of pages... are they penalised at all? Cheers * Just to add, I noticed quite a few hyphens were picked...

    The RoR Swap Thread

    I was looking at it too, would have gone well with my bladerunnner :D It's tagged to www.domainname.at. They don't appear to have any sort of catching service offered so they probably caught it for themselves. Shoot them an email?

    What was your RoR top ten?

    Just picked up charteredengineer... Kicking myself, a great surname was available to hand reg last night and I thought, nah... will be nice and make someone's day when they can pick their name up. Was still available earlier today... it was niggling me so just looked to see what was on the...

    Pre-order 'end of .uk RoR' domains

    Are you emailing people who ordered with you, and you were successful, to let them know the catch is going through to auction? Thanks :)

    The UK ROR 'WHO GOT WHAT?' thread

    Did some tags do a lot better than others? Granted you guys will have more knowledge but from what I've checked it seems a pretty split field?

    Publicly, broadly yes, but you can reg them at some places, Crazy Domains is one.

    The UK ROR 'WHO GOT WHAT?' thread

    Assuming you've used him before and he looked after you? Tbh I've always found IP / domain name lawyers the absolute pits. In two cases where lawyers served me a "without prejudice" they both lied, not just twisted the truth, but flat out concocted a right load of twoddle to try and make me out...

    The UK ROR 'WHO GOT WHAT?' thread

    Well, I looked at well over 1000 yesterday. Debating some others out there, but yeah, think this was a lucky find.

    The UK ROR 'WHO GOT WHAT?' thread

    Agree, I'm not a catcher but have always taken an interest and followed along on Acorn. Folks have been friendly and helpful over the years... The state the country's in, it's been a welcome bit of fresh air watching over the past week how you've all picked up stuff. Congrats to all.
