Hobbies anybody? Apart from porn, that is.
 

What kind of hobbies are you guys into?

The reason I ask is pretty simple. GFY is full of web designers and other sorts of developers. Plenty of you guys might create a hobby-related website or blog just for the hell of it -- not so much expecting to get rich as just wanting to relax and create something about a topic that interests you.

Meanwhile, I've always got thousands of domains just sitting around gathering dust. There's a chance I might have something related to your hobby of choice. Maybe the domain I've got in the pile is better than something you'd hand-register. Maybe I can let you use my domain for free. We could arrange some sort of buy-it-later option, maybe, and you could always back out without even paying if you later decide not to continue. You'd keep the site you built, and I'd keep the domain you were using. It seems pretty painless.

The same applies to my adult domains too. But they're only a small fraction of my portfolio.

Thoughts?

Hobbit porn.

99% sure that's a joke. But I actually have a domain for that niche!

Cycling. I was invited to go on a afternoon long ride with a friend - packed lunches - and had a blast, although I was completely unprepared for it. Since then I bought me a decent starter road bike, a Fuji Aboslute 1.3 and I've been riding daily.

I rode 12.2 miles today, although that's more than I usually do. It's fun and it's good exercise.

Weed. And beer. I am building a mobile app focused around bars and beer.

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeetttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt tttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt ttttttttttt

The view while cycling definitely beats the view from running a treadmill!

This one has some obvious Ecommerce potential. If you like to blog and recommend gear, it could be a good fit:

BikingAccessories.com

I've also got a couple of odds and ends:

ChineseBikes.net
HalfHelmet.net

Shoot me an email. Might be able to do something together with this if you're interested. baltimore on gmail.

I was negotiating an offer this month actually on HerbalBeer.com, but the guy couldn't scrape together the money even though I offered a flexible installment payment plan. I was living in Seattle and Portland for 3 years where breweries (and home brewing) seem to be everywhere. Personally, I'm convinced that herbal beer is going to be the next big thing.

I also coined this name for a beer blog:

BoozeViews.com

A couple of years ago I sold GanjaNinja.com to somebody, but it looks like he just turned around and listed it for sale at a higher price! I'd much rather have somebody else's developed site that I could point out to people.

For legal home-grown marijuana, I like this name:

PottedPot.com

Obviously, it's a pun on "potted plant". Oh, yeah, these too:

BuyPot.co.uk (For the United Kingdom)

GetPot.us

GetPot.info

GetPot.org

Cycling, running, beer, movies, AR Drone flying, cat petting.

Running, raw vegan 'cooking', juice diets, swimming, taking care of my chihuahuas.

See above for cycling and beer.

Movies is a broad topic. My full list there is pretty long, and it's all over the place. Samples:

MovieStardom.com
MovieAuditions.org
MovieScenes.info

etc.

____________________
AR Drone Flying ... Probably nothing specifically in that area, but some that can fit:

Birdseye.net (as in an aerial bird's eye view)

HighestHighs.com (Don't know how high those drones go. This one might be better for pot!)

I'm loaded with French aeronautics domains and domains for Spanish private jets. Kind of odd, actually.

____________________
Cat petting. Well I'm stumped there. Unless you know something about cat medications, cat baldness, or cat crime:

CatsMedication.com
HairLossInCats.com (ditto dogs)
CatsBehaviorProblems.com

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

Cycling here too,i do a bit more than 12 miles,usually 80-110km/day 2-3 days a week

Those are the only beer domains?

Anyone else that has an active beer site, I'd be interested in talking about link trades.

See above for running.

_____________
Chihuahuas:

HairLossInDogs.com

Personally, I'm more into other breeds:

JapaneseDogBreeds.com
Kishus.com
Shikokus.com

_____________
Looks like I'm out of stock on Swimming and running low on Vegan.

VeganSausages.com is all I'm left with currently.

UnderwaterSurveillance.com is definitely more for security and scuba. (Once upon a time I was a submarine officer.)

_____________
For juice, I actually own the word in Spanish:

Zumos.net

_____________
Lots of stuff for dieting. It would be a long list. My initial count is 147 domains. Spanish domains are one of my specialties; so I've got lots of premium generics in all sorts of categories. Some samples:

AlimentacionEquilibrada.com ("Balanced Nutrition")
AnorexiaBulimia.org
BienDeSalud.es ("Healthy")
BreastMilkHealth.com

Yeah, unfortunately there are so many niches in the universe that I can't collect a dozen domains for everything. I'm long on some things and short on others. The game requires frequent recalibration -- kind of like balancing a stock portfolio. More vegan, more beer, less French aeronautics.

I went to the skate park today. :upsidedow

i pood in the swimming-pool

That's what aqua socks are for

Any raw food domains? I'm big into juicing and raw foods. I am down to 198 pounds. I started at 215 only a few weeks ago. Also, any domains on NO WEHAT diets/lifestyle?

By the way, if someone does buy a targeted domain and develops it into a blog, here's a nice STEP BY STEP BLUEPRINT I found. http://www.exponentialcash.com/blogg...eprint-part-i/ Can't get any more THOROUGH than that. The free traffic part is in part 2 apparently.

Any GOOD bondage domains?

Yes or No, depending on what you like. Send me an email (just because I'm trying to keep this thread focused on non-adult hobbies rather than adult webmaster business.)

_______
For juices, see Zumos.net above.

_______
Raw foods ... Not specifically. I should get some. It's definitely popular these days. Some of my domains are related to detox, and something like

Purify.net

is an example of something that can be adapted as a brand name for raw foods diets.

_______
No-Wheat diets:

Wheatless.org
Wheatless.net

Those I actually owned before and then let go of because somebody else had the .COM. But I've since repurchased them. Catchy and short. And .ORG seems to fit this area.

I've only owned one domain related to skateboarding -- past tense. There are always slangy brandable domains like these:

Nu-uh.com

YoThang.com

They're hard to search for in my lists, but I've got quite a few.

How much for wheatless.org or wheatless.net?

Let's talk through email. See my signature.

bodybuilding - but I guess it is more than just a hobby. I go to the gym every single day since 2001.

+1 for the weed and beer :-)

I did have to stop that hobby when my kid was born... Switched to air rifle shooting. In about a month she will be 5 years old, so i locked up all my guns and gave away all my ammunition and i'm currently in the market for a new hobby...

If you're actually going to build a weed and beer website and you need another partner, let me know! I'm reasonable skilled in php and perl, and good with databases (installing, optimizing, creating querys,...) . icq: 158726359

Any more for weed?

Only mainstream or adult too?

Beer league hockey?

How many days is that continuously? At least 12 years, maybe 13. 12 x 365 = 4,380. You must have some muscles by now, dude!

My full list of of domains related to bodybuilding, strength training, and the gym would be over 100. Some or bullseyes for that niche, while others are more peripheral. Here are some samples of what I've got lying around:

Maximizing.me

Sculpting.me (body sculpting)

MuscleASAP.com
MusclesASAP.com

CardioMachines.com
(If I had time to learn how to set up a drop-shipping site, this would be a money maker. Treadmills, ellipticals, bikes, etc. Expensive stuff that people often order online.)

GimnasiaConPesas.com
ConPesas.com
("Weight Lifting" in Spanish)

TheGym.net

GymWorkout.net

LaGimnasia.com
("Gymnastics" in Spanish)

HealthCoaching.org

Invulnerable.me
InvulnerableMe.com

WeightLiftingGear.com
(more drop-shipping)

MantengaseEnForma.com
("Stay in Shape" in Spanish)


MaxReaders.com
minuspounds.com

Muscular.xxx
(I know there's a porn niche for this. The .COM would probably cost $50k to $250k. But Muscular.com wouldn't even be clearly adult-related. Some people on here will crucify me for saying so, but this is a case where the .xxx is a better fit for the adult industry -- cheaper and a better brand than the .com equivalent. That's my outside perspective, anyway.)

ResultsASAP.com
ResultsRightAway.com

TheOldYou.com
(body building or dieting)

P.S. Know anybody who is into JapaneseKickboxing.com? Or self defense? (SelfDefense.me)

That's all I saw for weed. I've sold a few and let some go in the past. There might be others hiding under the couch cushions.

Hockey ... My only domain is this one:

OldHockeyGames.com

Do people watch footage of classic sports games?

As for adult domains, sure. Just send me an email. I'm just trying to keep this thread more hobby-related. For most guys on GFY, adult domains are more work-related. If you send me an email, I'll send you a spreadsheet with about 300 adult domains sorted by language and extension.

Probably wise. If you were still into guns, I'd mention a few:

ShootThem.com

Anti-Gun.com

DummyRounds.com

etc.

Somebody recommend this man a new hobby ASAP!


Any projects to point at? I'd be happy to take a look if you'd like to post them or send an email.

We run www.standopposed.com a political satire website with opposition to "the liberal agenda"

StandOpposed.com is a good name. Personally, I vote for neither side; and I've stocked domains in the past for both sides of the political dialogue. Free speech is a good thing period.

I can mention 3 or 4 domains for you that are free to register. Send me an email. I think you might like one or two of them.

Not yet... But i'm always willing to help people out with their projects if needed.

The only thing i have laying around in the non-adult section privately is a basic site that uses an amazon i-frame. I use it when i need to discuss problems with non-adult webmasters. I just replicate the problem i have on an adult domain on this mainstream domain when i need suggestions...

I have many other "mainstream"-projects, but they're always linked to my "daytime"-employer, so i cannot post any examples over here :winkwink:

Ghey. Much ?

Thumb's up! And good idea with the non-adult test domain.

football is my hobbie, try to play once a week with friends

Which football? The American version or the international sport that Americans call "soccer". Makes a difference.

I snowboard a lot in the winter. Still trying to find a summer hobby. Cars?

I grew up right next to mountains and snow, but never took up snow boarding. Too bad.

Most of my winter domains are related to skiing and skate skiing, with some for snow removal and coats thrown in.

Some people on here probably don't know what skate skiing is. Several people mentioned running and biking, and they'd probably really dig skate skiing. Basically, during the winter, golf course owners in ski resort towns like Park City create these long winding paths around their land. Then people on a really narrow kind of ski go flying around it in loops -- like running a winding sort of a winter track. It's midway between ice skating and cross country skiing. Good exercise.

1) Bicycle Freak
2) Psychedelics freak
3) Love being with [my] kids, they fucking rock!! :)
4) Playing juggling games, especially devilstick, in my own garden, while listening to goa/psytrance music
5) Working on my house/environment with my own two hands.
6) Percussion drums, guitars: these are kinda abandoned projects since my teen age, but now, when my Home is built, I will have more time for my instruments.
7) building anti-politics / anarchist / rebel sites :pimp

Speaking of psychedelics, I own Psychedelic.com; and it's under brokerage at the moment with Media Options. We're asking $25k. For somebody with a budget, Psychedelic.com makes an awesome brand name.

Give me sec to take a look at what I may have in those other areas.

1-) Build an aquarium (I had 2 meters long, it is a great hobby if your life is stressful)
2-) Doom metal (I suggest you to listen Anathema while you are watching the fishes in the aquarium. ahahaha )
3-) Tv series
4-) Bicycle (Team up with your friends and take a long journey.)

I took a look.

ElectricGuitarists.com is one that interests me.

GuitarFreeware.com (completely forgot I bought that)

Drums ... I've got ElectricXylophone.com on my clearance list.

Honestly, I'm surprised how many call-to-action domains I have related to social issues and politics. 50-100 at least. I've let many of them go because I find few buyers with significant budgets in those areas. Lots to choose from and definitely not priority items for me.

If you'd like to email me, I can list some domains that might fit your #7. As I mentioned to somebody else above, I stock domain inventory for all sorts of perspectives and viewpoints on issues -- just like a person who stocks books for all kinds of readers. Still, I'm reluctant to post overtly political domains here because that might trigger some sort of argument about politics between people. So email is better.

_____________
Aquariums ... There's actually a lot of money spent on aquariums and exotic fish by hobbyists. I'm sure there are ways to cash in on that; and it might be enjoyable for you, given that you've already built an aquarium. Here are two that I own:

FishSpecies.net

PecesExoticos.com ("exotic fish" in Spanish)

_____________
Metal

I actually have a suggestion for you that you'll either love or hate. Don't know for sure if it's registered; and I don't want to check, since there are spies at this particular registry. Send me an email.

Also have this one, which I'd like to write some content for:

RockMusicians.org


_____________
TV Series

I've got all sorts of TV domains -- some related to the boxes themselves. Actually I own Televiseurs.com, which is French for TVs. Obviously needs to be a drop-shipping site. But I'm too busy to learn the ins and outs of drop-shipping. If anybody here has experience in this area, I can work on getting French content and marketing.

For TV shows, I've got a lot too. Some samples:

TVStandup.com

Yesterdays.tv
YesterdaysTV.com (sounds better than "reruns")

Nuestro.tv
NuestroTV.com ("Our TV" in Spanish)

TelevisionStars.net
TelevisionStars.co.uk (United Kingdom)

And domains for each decade of TV


_____________
