 Unused Domains Just looking to get some feedback on whether there is any opportunity to acquire a .ie domain that has been registered but in all proability is not going to be used as it has been 6/7 months since it was registered and it was only registered for a year. I came across a stat recently of over 6,000 registered domains without a live website. Any plans for IEDR to bring in a "piss or get off the pot" approach that if you register a domain you have to use it within 6 months otherwise it can be recycled? p.s. hope the analogy is not too offensive for the moderator          |

| I always find the comments about "unused" domains amusing. A lot of people forget that domains aren't just for websites and that "www" isn't the only valid A record possible .... One of our more active domains would appear to be unused to the untrained eye, yet it's used every day by hundreds of users who need to access a particular service. Most people won't notice this, as the service hangs off a "non-standard" sub-domain ....

Some people invest in domains as others do in other things.What would you ask next?...if somebody's buying more than a house or car they have to live in or drive all of them in the same time or loose them? jmcc & blacknight - very true what you're saying + sometimes happens to have sooo many domains and sooo little time ( or expertise ) to develop them that you have to let them " sleeping" for a while...and is nothing wrong in that . Cheers, Raul. |

| Raul I've got a lot of domains that I have plans for, but as you say it's all about finding the time... I'm currently working on one site which will hopefully be up and running in a couple of days (depending on how little sleep I can get away with!) The company owns quite a few cool domains that we haven't had time to put live.. we're working on it, but it takes time to do it properly Michele

| in a similar boat ... I've about 10 domains ... while probably not worth that much in themselves are worth a lot to me ... its all about finding the time to work on the projects  ... 24 hours just isn't enough time in the day.

| I'm afraid to look these days at how many domains I own Ideas, ideas, ideas (and too many impulse purchases thrown in for anti-fun) But starting to turn more ideas into reality. Curious as to Michele's new site... large product feeds... keeping eye on...
