Ask HN: what unwanted domain names are you sitting on?

#272Most of mine are .com.au or .net.au (e.g., body.net.au, industry.net.au, rating.com.au, lends.com.au, knows.com.au, etc), but I have three .coms I have never got around to using:
twitcorps.com Plan was for a register of businesses using Twitter, categorised by how they were using it and how well they were using it. It would be a way for newcomers to get ideas on how their businesses could give it a crack.
topictwits.com The idea was basically wefollow.com, but then that got released and so I forgot about it.
popslide.com First idea was for people to email a bunch of photos and get back a URL pointing to a quick, thumbnailed gallery. Like what Posterous does, but for one-offs. Second idea was for something similar, but you'd email a sequence of statements and you'd get back a URL pointing to an animated Flash presentation (a la Powerpoint) that you could tweak and style later.

#273I've been holding on to irtue.com/irtue.net. It's supposed to mean "I refuse to use Evite".

#274Earlier quoted context omitted.
Scripts? It's a database table with images with scores that are randomly accessed and presented to the user. When the user clicks on a photo, + to score, and reload the page with new photos. All the rest is just candy, really. Point being either it is trival to create this yourself, or you could google it. http://lmgtfy.com/?q=hot+or+not+scripts
In the face of the current economic conditions (i.e., US is at a terrible consuming/producing imbalance, and, well.. the only future in light of this is grim), these quick-buck strategies that seem to appeal only to the lowest common denominator start to seem alluring, indeed, only for the quick bucks. Wouldn't it be a better idea to allocate your time and resources elsewhere? Perhaps at something that may prove to b…
It's a good skills refresher for someone like me who hasn't done any web programming for a few years.

#276Good idea, I've been letting domains expire all year long.
amateurhour.org just expired, but I could renew it if someone wanted it.
trrd.org, trrrd.com/org, nichekitsch.com, enoughnow.org and w9gfo/0.org are the only ones left, I think.

#277Has anyone considered changing their parked domains to say: "This domain is free to anyone who will develop it into something. All that is required is that they feature a link to my other project/site %s for the first year."
I bought a domain name (actually, the big three) for a phrase that would be instantly recognizable on HN, with the intention of using it for a weekend project. Halfway through the weekend, before it was publicly accessible, I got an email from a chap in Italy saying it was his heart's desire to use that name for his software company, and could I please give him the domain name. I'll mention to you what I mentioned to…
Its a bad deal for him... What if his company takes off and you don't transfer the domain at the end of the year.. huge risk for him..
