Hi There,
We need your support here... If you want a .geek.nz domain, vote yes.
Word has it that heaps of people have voted "no", we need your support.

I don't know about you, but I really hate it when domain names are treated like goods to be bought to speculate on. Especially for those 'metasearch sites' that exist on domain names that people are likely to visit. http://www.bootdisks.com/ is today's example of this. You really meant to visit 'bootdisk.com'. I'd really hope that the people who run domainname.geek.nz are not encouraging this kind of practise, and that all the .geek.nz domains that were bought are going to go to good use, not be sold off at a profit to someone who really wanted it but wasn't quick enough.

With my OutlookExpress quote fix... Craig, I find it hard to believe you wouldn't buy a domain name, or rights to anything for that matter, in which you stand to gain significantly from your purchase. Is your social conscience really worth that much to you? This is where I use a Radiohead quote, you know which one.

Geek.nz came and went. I didn't purchase anything. However, you're right: the only real way to profit significantly off things is to buy them when they're brand new and cheap, and hope they become worth something. Craig
