I’m going broke: an email I wrote to Rachel

Sunday 17th July, 2011 - 10:48pm with 2 comments

I have realised that if I keep owning the number of domains I own now, I’m going to spending a lot of money on domains as well as my reseller (considering my photoblog and domain collective are like $50 to renew together, which is like 5 domains!)… so…

I was talking to Vivien about the subdomain idea, and she said to me that perhaps it’s ‘time to rip off the bandage’ and let go of some domains. I’ve been having a good long think about it, and all the money I’ve been spending on domains as well… so I don’t think I’ll buy kissed.nu* – at least, not in the near future. I am definitely letting aquapheric.net go, but Kya gave me the idea of selling it with a theme or a layout as people would be willing to buy it for extra.

I’ve put heartdrops.info on the marketplace hoping someone will be interested. I didn’t want to at first because someone would use it and I would rather it expire, but it doesn’t matter to me much anymore as it’s redirecting anyway. I put it on the marketplace for $1000 but let offers in… just wondering how much someone would be willing to pay hahaa.

I think I will get rid of vieuphoria.net. :( I love it, and I will definitely keep the fanlisting content –

I just spent some time browsing the internet and fanlistings and things. I think it’s really going to break my heart to get rid of it. It was like a wishlister and I know it’s just the fact that it doesn’t have a pretty domain – it’s just going to be the same fanlisting (<3!) with another URL. I guess it'll be okay... it'll be okay. Vieuphoria expires in October.... *bites nails*

I talked to Seb about neverfly.org as I was considering letting that go too. :/ He said maybe not, since the fanlisting for Ben has been there a while, and I'd have to think of somewhere to put the icons - and since Armor is my favourite band and I met Ben and everything, it's probably best to keep it how it is. Then again I wouldn't completely mind getting rid of it, but eh. Maybe another year is alright. After all, I got all pissy when Holly snatched it up and before she gave it to me! And after all, she paid for that first year, technically. ;)

I keep thinking about this consolidation thing and I hear a lot of words from other people whirring in my head - you: they're just songs [re: fanlistings for songs]; Cozza: it's okay, it's just a fanlisting [re: me adopting out her fanlisting]; and Haley: consolidation is a beautiful thing.

I'm still thinking about kissed.nu but I doubt I'll buy it soon, IDK.

I just kept putting into retrospect the fact that I'm going to Indonesia at the end of the year for a whole month, too, and how I'll have to plan ahead and update fanlistings before I go, as well as renew some domains... so it's really got me thinking. I am so annoyed at myself for all these stupid fanlisting hubs - as I said, I will not be buying myself any more of those in the future. Sometimes I think that maybe I shouldn't have bought bowtiesarecool.org but HEY. Doctor Who!

Anyway, I think I may move my writings to words.georgie.nu or something.

Note: kissed.nu is not the domain I want; I am trying to refrain from posting it in public. :)

Seeing as you’re getting rid of aquapheric, I’d definite 1+ (hehhe) words.georgie.nu – that just seems so cool! :D

but dudeeeeee, I’m in the same predicament as you. I mean, I don’t have as many as you, but I have three renewals due soon, one of which is mikage.nu. and it’s due just after christmas so i’ll be broke as it is!! ;A; I couldn’t resist and purchased two domains the other day, w/out even thinking of the repercussions. /facepalm

kind of surprises me that you’re considering getting rid of Vieuphoria and NeverFly, but as you say, they’re just names :) what matters is your love for them. :D Oh, I’m really hoping heartdrops.info goes for a high price. that’d just be so amazing. xD

I’m going to Indonesia too this year! (Well Bali) in October, except we’re going for like a week just for a holiday, as opposed to you staying for a month and meeting up with fam. ^^

@Cozza, *damn now Cozza is going to realise I’m not actually sleeping and like to check emails and comments on my phone* :D I am not sure if you saw my tweets but I also thought of ink.georgie.nu and my friend Daniel thought of by.georgie.nu. Really clever. I am starting to like the idea of subdomains!

Ooh. Georgie.nu is due for renewal soon too and it’s just crazy when you put things into perspective. I also want to spend more time on a few precious domains instead of having so many. I have (and had) so many fanlisting hubs that I didn’t see the point. I mean, look how quickly I lost interest in kyuuten! ): Someone bought it though. I hope they do something good with it. :)

Naughty you! I saw you selling a domain on the marketplace too the other day. ;) Anyway, you know the domain I have my eyes on but I may not get it just yet. XD (Or at all…)

I am sick of Bali! Been there too many times. Gorgeous beaches though. :D And yep, I’ll be on the island of Java, quite a distance off, not to mention obviously three months later!

Well, my wrists need cracking and I should doze… xo !
