    One of my friends on another forum of mine earlier mentioned to me that a lot of these domains have already been bought and have parked pages on them...

    while i think this is highly immoral...it makes me wonder...

    you think these domains will make a lot via either parked earnings or sales?...

    immoral indeed (in my opinion) trying to monetize from such tragic event..... I would never do it.... plus: its an event, the traffic "spike" IF any wouldn't last long in a couple of years

    it's actually sort of good and bad in my opinion...

    i believe the purchase of them to make the huge profit off such an event is incredibly horrible...for the simple fact that I'm a pretty moral guy...though I know some aren't...obviously...

    but...the people that will actually buy it to make a site with it...to maybe me a memorial or something like that...i think that's a good thing...

    Well... if he were to use it to fundraise money for the family's victim.. a memorial of something: that is of good use. Profit for self it not.

    I always try to get a domain like that so like Stax_Daniel & 8everything said make a Memorial/Info site on the tragedy. Because I feel its an obligation as an American Citizen and I wouldn't even put ads on it except for maybe a small adsense link think ( Google: Link Link Link Link ) Just to cover the costs of the spike.

    But every single tregedy some a**hole who wants to make a quick profit with no intentions of doing anything!

    I'd like to do something like that eventually...i'm just always paying so much attention to what's going on with the event that I wouldn't think of doing that until at least a week later...by then they would all be gone.....and plus...i'd have no clue how to even start a website like that...content and stuff like that...though i guess it'd be pretty straightforward...

    I don't think i'd want the responsibility of running a memorial site truthfully...not one of that size anyway.

    Tasteless and inappropriate ... should only be considered if any income is to be donated to victims & their families.

    Well , it isnt a major historical event , just a maniac's bad day!

    But it is funny how it works , one day something happens , next day people make money out of it :D...

    But you might make a nice website and as boch said use the money for the victims families. :)

    it's the biggest mass school shooting in history...i'd say that's a pretty major historical event...

    I'm not making any website ;)...was just asking what people thought the domains would sell for, and to see if most other people thought it was immoral as well.

    Might be the biggest in USA , not sure if it was a world wide historical event.

    And yes , the domain sounds kinda nice too , good luck

    lol...why are you wishing me luck :)...i'm just asking a question ;)...though thanks...I can always use a little luck

    hmm...you make a good point about the USA though, i thought I saw that it was the largest in the world...but looking back where i read it said US History....though now I'm curious and I'll have to look it up...

    I doubt those domains would get much attention without being developed.

    Maybe a little type in traffic, but that's it.
