Foundation What Hasn't Been An Forum Subject/project yet?

[Ravenfreak]

It's nearly impossible to come up with a niche that hasn't been done before. The only thing I can think of is creating a community based around a big project you're working on, such as a game but most companies unfortunately use Discord for that these days. There could be a community based around a specific game that is so obscure, that there's not a community based around it. Again though, most gamers sadly use Discord for that these days.

Forums about specific human fetishes, perhaps?

Forums about specific human fetishes, perhaps?

Any fetish with any commonality already has places to discuss it, assuming it's legal; if not it will have other places to discuss it where it might not necessarily be a forum for the sake of privacy and internal security.

Any fetish not so popular might not have the support to sustain a forum - because some are just that niche that you might never find another person who feels even remotely the same way. It's quite self-selecting in that respect.

I track domains that I want to purchase, and can certainly say that I've come across some weird fetish forum domains that go to auction.

The last one, I had to look up the word for. That being said, it was a word [I forgot] that was the enjoyment of wearing other people's skin [word]forum.com.

I don't know if it ended up expiring, or what, but someone had the bright idea to register the domain in the first place. I don't know if they were freak enough to put it to use, or thought someone else might, but it's certainly the oddest fetish forum domain that I ran across. Suffice it to say, I did not bid on it...

You can tell, we don't judge.

I mean, I still need to make the announcement post on the forum. Care to share some skin so I can share my experience?

Sure. From where? My foot and toes?

There was a time, and still is to a lesser degree, where every wannabe domainer was registering everything and anything that had words in it. And if something popped up in the news, another flurry of stupid regs.

That's why I quit watching the drop lists. Mostly all junk domains.

I'll have to admit that I rush to register the new phrases; I've yet to be the first at a popular one though. You can catch a real winner... Take Covid-19.com for example Registered On 2020-02-11T15:13:12Z. The person who picked that up could've easily flipped it for 6 figures within a month, and maybe had a 7-figure silent bidding war between Pfizer, Moderna, and J&J within 4-6 months. Now? It's pretty much worthless. You could probably set up an informative site on it and make a couple hundred bucks a month, but nothing like what you could've done with a flip. (Edit: I'm sure one of the 3 would still offer 6 figures for it just because they're going to continually sell boosters).

There are also sometimes domains used in movies that aren't registered, and getting it before someone else can get immediate traffic. Traffic = money, if you know what you're doing with it.

Those are just two examples of things that pop up that can be immensely profitable, whether you park it or sell it, in the short term. You definitely don't want to hold the bag (unless it was a movie reg that might get you 10000~ visitors rushing in each month until it dwindles down) on something like Covid-19 though.

I'd like to experience wearing your foot skin like socks, if at all possible. I'm sure that would be a great article to kickstart the forum!
