I think the whole industry is crashing and there will be blood in the streets...so to speak. I expect a major flood of drops to really begin picking up in a about two months....it has already started. Parked went down the other day and no mention of compensation for down time was give. That has never happened. I think Parked is hurting for cash also. . We will look back on 2008 like it was a cake walk.

Fabulous.com and Dark Blue Sea is a good company though. Innovation is what they are missing. They have been doing a lot of things right but they could do much more. I'd love to see them get it together and rock it in 2010. 2009 is going to suck though. All the best, Mike Actually the domains I am talking about are from 2002 / 2003.

2009 is going to suck though.

All the best,

Not too many of them sell, for obvious reasons, or get any traffic. They used to get a lot of traffic, via Google, Yahoo and MSN --- but that is a distant memory. Their setup used to game the search engines pretty well and it manipulated them in such ways that there would be lots of organic traffic coming in. The search engines have tweaked their algos though a while ago. I am very surprised they have kept all those domains over the years. If those domains would come up for sale on any domain forum, they wouldn't even get picked up for $10 by any domainers. I am 100% sure of this. They will be dropping a lot of their domains sooner than later. They have been holding on for way too long. No choice.
