#182Am I wrong to guess that this domain is worth more than a million dollars? Rejecting that kind of money for making a point is… I don’t know, but it’s definitely something. Edit: not just rejecting money, but defending it in court!
It’s definitely dumb.
Selling out means the domain could be used to hurt people. I call that noble not dumb.

#186Earlier quoted context omitted.
This opened up my eyes. My pseudo is "ploum" and I have the ploum.net domain since 2006/2007. I’ve used the ploum@ploum.net adress for years but it became unbearable regarding spam. It took me this post to make the link that, in France, "ploum ploum" means "whatever random thing" and that surely people are filling "ploum@ploum" as a random address in every web form. Must be even worse for the ploum.com domain.
That's a weird take. I am French, I have never heard (except for Téléphone's song) that expression. The closest thing that comes to mind is "plouf plouf". Wouldn't it simply be because you have been using (and publicly disclosing) that mail address for quite some time and it probably became part of each and every email list script kiddies are able to get their hands on?
French canadian here and same comment, ploum does not mean anything. Even plouf (for us).

#187I have a two-character .org. I've never, in the 25 years I've owned it, gotten a non-scam offer for it. (Not that I'd sell for less than change-your-life money.)
Since you've never taken any of them up, how do you know they are scams? Anyway, a two letter domain could be worth a million dollars to somebody. What is your "change-your-life" amount of money?
Well, it's 3e.org - so number and letter, not letter letter, so probably worth less than that. I would definitely take a million dollars.
I know they're scams because every single one I've ever gotten has eventually gotten to the point of "ok, send us X amount of money first to make this deal start happening".

I beg to disagree, that’s a great cat!
