@Altaf….linking to a”parked page” is bad manners IMO, especially on another forum or board. I think it is also against your parking companies terms of service. ;)

Congrats Rick. Already joined. Hoping to get one of my current or future killer domains leased.

We now have just over 300 members of this group.
All with names and bios. Real People.
I have 18 that are in limbo and have not been approved.
If you are one of those folks and you are real, email me.

What is a domain hack? Here you get a reply. Our idea: short domain hacks like y.es, n.eu , ch.at and are alone not so registered, the”domain high end” but with a top domain name! An example:
Apple.com, the domain – name”Apple” can often be registered as many domain extensions available on the market. From 2013 over 1700 domain extensions will be available. Thus, over 1700″Apple” – domains registered will. How about using our domain highend?
We take Apple and add the domain hack”Y.ES” added. The result Apple-Y.ES. The reading order is undisputed”Apple YES”. This domain can be registered only 1 x. Thus all the advantages of a domain hack can be used with the additional benefit that can be now EVERYONE”Great Domain Name” made it truly unique!
