just curious how many other dopers can be found at theirusername.com ?

I’d considered it once. But right now my username.com is parked, registered by Mapcom and presently pointing to a “Make money taking surveys” parking-spam site.
Bastards.
I hate those guys. They took my real name.com right out from under me then offered to sell it to me for $3,500 or something ludicris like that. So I called them and tore a strip off of some greasy sales guy, telling him that his livelyhood was ruining the internet, and that he should be reminded about how he was akin to the mafia. What can you do.
No. Apparently in spite of naming myself after an obscure little airport, I still can’t snag idlewild.ANYTHING, on account of some kind of band, a book, a movie… sheesh. Talk about too popular for my own good.
Professional squatters suck. There ought to be a law. (Well, there is I suppose, but it’d be cheaper to buy the domain from these greasy snot rags than it would be to hire a lawyer and fight them for it. You just can’t win.)
My .org is taken by a some rock/electronic band that isn’t me but should be, since I had it first!
My .net is taken by a media company that also isn’t me.
My .ca domain, however, is free and clear.
I have psycat.com
My husband bought it for me as a birthday present or something a few years ago. It’s really nothing more than a bunch of links back to my livejournal, and looking at it now I see it is in need of some revamping.
Maybe I’ll make that a mini weekend project.
Nope, but I do have my old username registered.
Oddly enough, they seem wholly unaware of the whole Tolkien thing.
I have my realname.com, and I guess it’s just lucky, as apparently there’s a punk band from Boston whose name is my Real Name. Weird, because my name is just… very normal. Not punk band at all.
I ‘met’ another person with My Name, when she dropped me an email. The Other Me is very nice.
I plan to hold on to the .com on my name for as long as I can, even if there’s nothing much there at the moment.
TGeneric top-level domains. There are a lot more of them than I thought.
My .com was registered to a company that makes, yes, “sunspaces”: those add-on greenouse things that you sometimes see on the sunny side of houses. I’ve seen their trucks around Toronto. But now it resolves to a Rackspace page.
My .net resolves to what appears to be a very dubious domain squatter named ROAR.
My .org is mine, mine, all mine!!! Bwa ha ha ha…
My .ca is nonexistent.
My .info resolves to a Network Solutions domain-squatting page on oingo.com.
My .biz resolves to a rather pleasant-looking minimalist page belongiong to a decorator in Michigan.
My .name is nonexistent (understandable).
All the other generic TLDs are nonexistent, though sunspace.museum resolves to a page that links to explanations of the .museum TLD.
Idlewild.biz is open…
:: rushes off to register it… jusr kidding ::
Idlewild.us is open too.
Or you could get one a domain in one of the other country-code TLDs that accepts foreign registrants.
I have mine. It’s my regular journal site.
Not my username (I don’t even like mine that much), but I’ve recently purchased patkemp.com. I blog a little on it, but mostly it’s to show employers my resume and portfolio. I actually used to go by Patrick, but patrickkemp.com was taken (and actually looks worse), so now I’m officially Pat for all intents and purposes.
On preview, is your blog a WordPress site, Cowgirl? That’s what I used for mine, and boy is it nifty!
My real name .org is mine. I was surprised when I saw that typoknig.com is not available, but it’s being held by some domain registrar I’ve never heard of. No loss - I haven’t updated my real name.org in a couple of years, I sure don’t have time for another domain.
I took idle-wild.net on the grounds that I don’t really mind if no-one ever finds me
I don’t use this screen name anywhere else unless it’s related back to here, so it never occurred to me to look up websites with this name. But having doen so now, I’m surprised that there is no littlenemo.com, littlenemo.org, littlenemo.net, little_nemo.com, little_nemo.org, or little_nemo.net.
Am I the only Winsor McCay fan online? Damn, there’s no winsor_mccay.com either.
And if I use my real name dot com, it belongs to a financial guidance service in New York City.
I own my oldnet-handle.com. It’s currently blank though as ASP apparently changed enough to break most of everything and I haven’t had a chance to build a new one since.
Nope.
