View Full Version : you are IDNer if .....
you think that you know more than 10 languages.
you visit idnforums every morning before having your coffee.
your friendship with ASCII domain owners deteriorates.
you found out that you haven't registered any ASCII domains in the last six months.
your IDNs make 0.24$ per month and you feel very happy while you feel sad when your ASCII domains make you 100$ per month.
you become more interested in watching foreign languages satellite TV channels although you don't understand any word.
I like these stuff .... if you have any please don't hesitate to add it

you mastered the difference between korean and chinese, even though you don't speak either
you get excited when you see xn-- anywhere on the net
you are having a really bad day if you found out that IDN domain you were going to register got taken 2 hours ago
you are having a really good day if you receive an unsolicited offer for one of your IDN domains
you are still amazed what you could have regged only a few weeks ago

you do not believe every "available" you see
you do not get upset when G occasionally does not understand your English because the only Arabic words you know are followed by .com/.net
you believe that each week is your last week of registering new names
you have been yelled at by Rubber Duck for doing nothing wrong
you recognize this nameserver ns1.fastpark.net

You walk around with a cockeyness nobody in your home , city , or state could fathom why
You are probably the only person within a 100 mile radious that ownes one of these Diamonds
You are in one of the best moods you have ever been , in your whole entire life
You Do mansion window shopping when you get tired of mining
You prefer to look at youre collection of names then a new ero DVD :p
You despise all your friends whom you told to get involved Knowing they will be calling to borrow money
You calculate every PENNY you spend because at the end of the day " that could have been a IDN " ie : Why did i buy that toilet paper 2.27 shit that could have went towards a IDN :p

Yes, that brings a chuckle but the roll around the floor job, are the News threads on DNF. Most of the guys on there couldn't spot a runaway truck if it was dragging them up the street.

When you own multiple ASCII.com domains that include the letters IDN.
When you know what "bq--" is.
When you think of "multilingual" as the old term for "IDN."
When you are anxiously awaiting (and praying) for official word confirming "DNAME" implementation.

You burst into laughter at the precise moment your partner suggests sex because you're in the middle of this thread and you get to the "all of them .com" line
Then you get in trouble because you've already spent the last 4 hours checking names, you need to reg the ones you've found, and the sex is second on the agenda. At least two on the list have ovt over 100k.
You actually take the chance someone won't find them, go to bed, have sex, get up next morning and then go reg them. Everyone's happy!
Just hope same doesn't happen tonight. Want the names!

You have a list of Favorites.....but you hardly ever check them anymore.
You start selling off your regular names...so you can buy more IDNS
You concentrate on 1 language....but then you start to diversify.
