There was a story that I did not see posted about that was a really cool domaining story. While it’s cool to read about the exploits of Mike Mann and Rick Schwartz, most small to mid size domain investors tend to think that the big sale will never happen to them. The name was MessengerKids.com...

When I first got started in the Domaining world back in 2007 I was like most new investors.

Is 50% of the domaining industry about to be washed away? Rick Schwartz certainly thinks so. And I agree too. But this has started a year ago. Many of the opportunistic people are long gone by now. But will domaining go back at the 2013-2014 level or above that or below that? If it goes to...
