I was just looking at their stock (DBS) the other day…they actually make a profit which is more than most companies these days.

They may be a good buy at these prices so not surprised if a takeover is attempted.

“discarding” ? Oh man, oh man….they just registered “anything” back in 2002 and 2003.

I remember distinctly thinking back then, “What they in the heck are they doing registering so many marginally relevant domains?”. They could have taken more time and registered better domains, but they bought in like they were late to the market, which they were a little…but still, a bad move ultimately. I think this is biting them in the ass now and it is a huge burden to keep renewing those domains.

It’s slash and burn time for many domain owners right now…including Fabulous and other behemoths.
