Next major domain to drop....

[Oz.]

...you saw it here first folks:
ThankYourMotherForTheRabbits.com.au ( hopefully it wasn't owned by any of you, otherwise you have lost this gem to me )

Will it knock CarParts from being number 1 spot? Opinions?



These drop lists are like obituaries for business ideas that either never eventuated or went bust. Apart from them gems that have their own inbuilt value, the trash that drops (99% of the domains) were people's ideas and hope for the future. Sometimes you got to wonder what they were smoking when they registered them.

Thank your mother for the rabbits:
I think Rex Rhyming Slang pinched it fom the Human Headline, Derryn Hinch
I believe it is actually 19th century cockney
It still makes me laugh when someone says it
I don't know why

When we first started the DROP business we lovingly referred to these 99% of the dropping domains as, "the list of broken business dreams".

Actually, when you have been at it as long as I have you can see some amazing trends. Like events in the past that spawned registrations. You can bet at the end of this year will see many Obama themed domains expiring.

Or my favourite, long weekends 2 years and 30 days ago, where people had a drunken epiphany to start a website that will release them from their current jobs. Actually I think I did that last year myself!

LOL, I totally know what you mean, I have certainly seen some trends, or seasonality in these drops, and in the .com drops when I did them years back.

Funnily enough I actually spoke & exchanged emails with the registrant in 2008.

He is (was) actively involved in internet stuff including domains & SEO but his main thing was 'internet billboards'. Very enthusiastic guy from memory but I don't think we did any business...

Haha, all I knew about Rex was he enjoyed kissing fish, and his Fish and Chip shop is pretty nice. Never heard that expression before.

Reminds me of a really gross joke I heard once...

What smells fishy and ends in U-N-T?

Rex Hunt.
