Sorry if you feel like that
I have about 43 parked domains, if combined I could make $5 a month that is $60 a year, why not extra money to donate towards Joomla or various projects.
Sorry, but it's how I feel. If you are just holding a sit you intend to use that fine, I have some myself. But just taking them purely to park deprives others of the opportunity to make good use of that site.
It annoys me because I have had so many good ideas for web site names shot down because some guy was parking on it for his $5 a month and asking some ridiculous sum for the domain name to sell it.
Domain name squatting is just wrong because it's so cheap to get them to start with, epecially if you abuse the system to get them free, and then charge honest people thousands of dollars for something you paid nothing for.
Unless something is done, domain name squatting will do for web urls what spam is doing to email - taking over! I wouldn't be suprised if soon there are more parked domains than real domains. When you can't surf the web without half the sites you visit just being ad farms.
Parked domains provide NO VALUE whatsoever to the internet. You only get that $5 a month because people have no other option when they visit your page except to click something or start again.
Saying 'I will donate that $60 to joomla projects' is akin to saying 'I know I make my money by extorting it from old ladies, but I donate some of it to retirement homes so it's ok'. Not having a parked (purely for the sake of parking) domain benefits the entire internet far far more than $60 a year.
By having 43 parked domains, (if you never intend to use them) you are depriving 43 people of a website and the rest of the world the benfit of using those 43 real websites. To make $5 a month providing nothing but ads.
This isn't meant to be an attack on you btw, but on the system that allows this wastefulness to happen.
I am genuinely afraid of the day that the internet becomes mostly ad sites. and the only good sites are called 2345mydomain9876.com like hotmail addresses... -
