Big thumbs up to the starter of this thread, by the way. I've already given away three domains in the last two hours..


Will they get used though? You'd hope so.


I've adopted a sort of honor-driven set of conditions with the people I've given them to - a "domain traders' code," if you will:

1) If you don't use the domain, I get first refusal to have it back. 2) If you do use the domain, and if I request, you'll give me a link on the site someplace. (More a speculative thing than anything..) 3) If you go on to sell the domain/site for big bucks, you'll remember me and get me something from my Amazon wishlist ;-)

It's all honor-bound and ridiculously hard to enforce, but I'm a big believer in honor, so who knows.. :)
