What is going on?

Ok there seems to have been an influx over the last few weeks of people with utter rubbish for domains and a spam mentality. Did something happen in the domain world that brought these idiots here? We've all registered bad domains and *learned* from it but it seems the current crop aren't interested in the industry or learning. They all follow the same pattern : crapname.crapextension premium bargain $xxxx mostly of stuff registered within the last week. There must be something going on.

But the .com is registered, so there must be value in the .co.uk....right?

I think lots of deals from the big boys on these crap extensions which is fuelling speculation and get rich quick mentality.

But these guys are basing their prices on one of the most reliable valuation services out there, if Estibot says the domain is worth a million dollars then it really is a bargain @ just $100,000.

Should I be concerned that Estibot undervalues my best domains?

I'm all for a busier forum but busier for the right reasons. You can tell why domaining has such a bad reputation when you see how some of the newer members here act like Snake Oil salesmen.

perhaps there should be a pre school section?
