    Hi everyone.

    Have you ever purchased a domain name you thought would be great but now you have no idea what to do with it?

    I am having that problem with 'forumtuner' .com, i don't have a clue what i could use it for! It wouldn't be so bad, but I have it registered for 10 years...

    Any ideas?

    Post your pointless domains and I will try and think of a use for them :p

    How to build a forum into a community. Like a digital marketing advice center for forum owners. Or a forum about radios!

    My biggest fail was the domain 'linen-trousers' after a bottle of vodka. I mean - WTF was I thinking?

    Haha, that ne is pretty good.
    I have never bought a domain name like that, but I have seen many of them.
    The worst thing would be to buy a domain name only to notice that you misspelled it. xD

    I purchased some ridiculous ones in the past. My latest has been a string of android domains that are a waste.

    This is very common. Had a couple of it but was not so bullish like you. Only bought for 5 years instead of 10.

    Next time just buy 1 year and if you really like it, renew it.

    Thanks for all your suggestions! I feel a little better knowing others have fallen into the same trap as me :p

    Those are some good ideas! The forum about radios suggestion made me laugh, but it is better than anything I came up with. I have been looking for an excuse to start a forum, just a shame I hate radio :rolleyes:

    lol linen-trousers, maybe in the future we will only wear them... it will be worth millions :cool:

    I also strongly agree with apollo23... do not buy a 10 year domain name ever!

    Another thing that you can do is always park the domain, though I am not sure how much money you might get cause I don't know what traffic you have with it currently. You can also turn it into some kind of blog or auto blog if you can't be bothered with making it into a forum, or you can go to clickbank, find out what products are available via that talk about forum, set up a landing page promote it and get sales. Depends on how much you have time and what you want to do. :)

    Thank you for this idea!! I have another website which would be perfect for your clickbank idea, I had heard of clickbank before, but I didnt actually know what it was :p

    Thank you for all the other ideas peeps, they are all great, including the 'forum posting company', but I don't really have any knowledge in that area. Considering just selling it now, or maybe parking it for 10 years lol

    It gets about 60 uniques aday which is better than nothing I guess :)
