Guy

BullS
PopeRICK.com is the best!!!
Aaron
Cmon Guy, If you don’t like it thats fine. But, please don’t compare this news with nazis. It is very disrespectful for you to make any such comparison. I am neither Catholic or Jewish but I would like to kick your arse for such a repulsive uncalled for comment.

Wrong Connors. This one is a real estate agent.
Alan
Thank you, you took the words right out of my mouth!
Theo
Gotta love the varity of domaining.
Some reg on future tech.
Some reg on future olympics/events (tricky)
Some reg on future trends
Opperunity may reveal itself years later. Don’t live in the now. Look into the future.
There is risk involved but you are a domainer or not.
Ramahn
Its what its all about! See the train coming get on board before everyone else. Most things are obvious.
UFO
The question though is would you wish to profit from holding such a name or would you prefer to do the honourable thing and deem yourself to have acted as a safe guard?
Tricky, but most people will look for him via a search and as such I’m sure the wikipedia entry will be first in the results.
Nice traffic though, exactly a specific type of person looking for a specific thing in high volumes…. The only thing lacking is the CPC side.
Joe
Am I the only one who thinks these Pope domains are a total waste of money?
Owen
Gamble on any aspect of the Pope’s life at your own peril. He may have struck gold but may also be sleeping above the next sinkhole to open.
Domain Prince
Argentinians would call the new Pope:”Che Francis”
Dan
Few days ago I regged PopeBergoglio.com
(lucky guess, but too bad the popes change their names these days)
Sell for cheap if anyone wants it
Joe
Looks like Mr. Connors is going to donate his domain to the newly appointed pontiff.
