Does Namepros have security measures against bots like ChatGPT? Sometimes when I go chk it I see my words in his replies, just like a grabber of parrot.

I thought "slamming someone" meant something more than just briefly whining about something ridiculous that obviously is not going to change.

You might want to read ALL of his replies in the Twitter thread. It was hardly a "brief" 1-post exchange and he jumped in there feet-first with the rest of the nitwits.

In terms of real estate:

Somebody owns a home and you occupy without their permission is Squatting

You bought or mortgage your home and stay in it, it's Primary Home (investment)

You own a home and rent it, Investment property (investment + passive income)

Digital real estate, domains:

Somebody owns a trademark and you have a domain/website to infringing on their rights, misleading visitors, etc., it's Domain Squatting (a legal term)
(the details of who registered first, what's their intention, timing, etc., are used to validate this claim)

You registered / bought, consistently renew & either host website, park or don't even do anything for future use, it's Domain Investment (trader, flipper, etc.. are further classification of how they do business with that domain)

IMHO

On the other hand, I hate to see a good domain name wasted on a bad idea or execution.

agree however it's not ours to decide, its the owners to decide.

we can negotiate / convince owner for a price to sell in that case

He's not wrong though. We are glorified domain squatters.

I agree, it's motivated by a naive ideology.

I wouldn't call it naive either. Most people are against speculators, and not only in domaining.

A great .ai domain for $30k?

You'll be lucky to get one for that price......

That seems to be the asking rate for good 2 word .ai domains

Great one word domains are starting in the xxx,xxx range

What are you talking about? There are plenty of great .ai domains for under $30,000.

Oh he's definitely pissed-off about a specific domain alright. He didn't just pull that $30k out of the air. If he has identified an AI domain for a development project we know it's going to be a good un

What's with this antagonistic attitude? He could well have voiced the qualms of one of his friends, and even if not it's perfectly fine to complain about prices.
