T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Announces First Speaker for 2012 Show in Fort Lauderdale

The Official T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Ballot and Future Complaint Desk for the Powerless.

Morning Folks!!


Why and how can people complain about things that they themselves are 100% in control of? I just don’t get it. I never have. Human nature. Some are just wired that way unless and until they step back and take a look. Invariably each year folks complain about who is nominated when they have the POWER to nominate anyone they like. They have the power, don’t use it and then complain about it.


Now nobody is forcing anyone to nominate anyone else. That is your choice and I support your choice 100%. This is directed to those that complain each year. Nominations don’t come from Howard and myself. They come from the folks in the domain industry and we just publish them and Howard tabulates the votes. That’s all we do. Then we present the awards at T.R.A.F.F.I.C.


So I always like being on the record for the record when those folks come out of the woodwork and complain in October. There is no 'Old Boys Club'. There are only doers that participate and talkers that complain. I can then point them to this post along with others and they will still get mad at me. lol Perhaps a bit misdirected?


Nominations are being accepted until COB tomorrow, Wednesday, July 25th. Last year we had a record amount of votes and we anticipate breaking that record this year.

    Hello Rick,
    There are those among us that are disenfranchised and confused and hurting, so of course they feel put upon. In time some will pull themselves out of their pity party and move forward. My suggestion RIGHT NOW is this.
    We are Presently on the precipice of the Secondary Market exploding on the upside. How can this be? Many underlying factors which would take too much space here. Just know that we are very experienced in Market Dynamics and know this to be true.
    You ALL have not missed the major move!! This comes from a person who has no need to pump disinformation out for my benefit.
    Concentrate Right Now on the Secondary Market in .COM extension.
    Trade out of all other Dot somethings you dont need them for success. Your Top Tier Traffic Velocity patterns lie in the .COM Channel. Therefore the most valuable to Businesses and investors alike.
    There are scores of Domainers letting go of very valuable Virtual Business Foundations who are clueless as to what lies directly ahead. 1000$ – 5000$ range currently available in .COM Channel !
    Scoop them up. We expect, just from simple expansion, in multiples,. Returns far superior to any other Asset Class. This WILL HAPPEN. Don’t get frustrated, GET EVEN, JUST DO IT !
    Gratefully, Jeff Schneider (Contact Group) (Metal Tiger)

    Can I lodge a complaint? Take a look at the Domain Hall of Fame (in your post). You’re spelling the Castello brothers with the letter I and not the letter E.
