    Holy Cow (I was going to use something else here)

    I was looking at some domains to buy for future use. I was thinking at the olympic games, so I thought 2012games.com ?
    nope taken. 2016games.com? 2020games.com? 2024games.com? 2028games.com? 2032games.com?
    YES !! 2032games.com IS avaliable!!!

    Needless to say I did NOT register it.

    And if I read it correct all the games up to 2024 are registered by the same guy.

    Come on people, is the paranoia that bad, or are they really after us? Isn't registering a domain 22 (TWENTY TWO) years in advance pushing it just a bit?

    I have searched for future events names too and they were all gone. I suppose if we can think it, someone somewhere already did too!

    yes, but 22 years in the future, IMO the rush for .com domains will be long gone, there will be something newer/better out there.
