Now, I'm not sure if I just scored big-time, or if I just wasted my money. I bought a new domain. A TWO LETTER domain! Well, two letters before (dot) and two after. vb.nu Unfortunately I had to register it for two years, so It's WAY more than I wanted to spend. So...score or loss? It does roll off the tongue, tho, right? vee bee new
This should be in the domains forum shouldnt it? But if this is for two years, its good, just the way i had to get mine.
I put it in the vBulletin forum because of the domain name itself and how it relates to vBulletin. But if an admin happens to want to put it somewhere else...that's up to them.
Well its a good domain, vbulletin is so great you have to spend money on its name. < It just came out.
lol I don't know...I have several ideas that may work perfectly for this domain. The thing I'm afraid of is that there might be a hefty fee for registering a two-letter .nu domain. I guess I'll have to wait and see...
Maybe nothing. I don't know. I was excited to have my own two-letter domain, whatever it is (again, I collect domains). I generally stay away from any TLD other than .com, but this one seemed like one I had to have. :o It won't happen right away as I still have some major learnin' to do, but I really would like to develop some skins for vB...eventually. The other possibility is that I MAY try to sell it (maybe not to vB :p ). The thing is, it's a generic two-letter domain (Doesn't need to be vB). I also got two preliminary domain evaluations and on the low-side was $1500 and on the high-side was a whopping $44,000, and that's pretty enticing!
Best of luck in regards to developing this domain. I'm interested in hearing how you go about using this!
This is the type of domain you really have to do something nu with How about a blog showcasing the best new vB sites?
Why would Jelsoft want it? It has no value in it for the company. The official trademark is vBulletin and if a domain uses the trademark without permission, they can just take it. Most of the internet associates vb with Visual Basic anyway. At least a lot more people than even know about vBulletin. Though personally, I'd turn it into a URL shortening service that vBulletin owners can use to tweet new posts through. Not sure that is a commercial venture or one of love but would be interesting.
:yes: :spin: :sweet: Ding ding ding. Whoever asked to sell to jelsoft, just got owned. JK. But those words are strong. Coming from where hes from :doh:
