Back in early 2007, I blogged that someone was cybersquatting the natural domain name for this blog. A company had paid $200 for gaybanker.com, so no doubt if I'd wanted to acquire it they'd have wanted to charge me at least that much.
In fact, I didn't even bother to contact them. Instead I waited. The credit crunch and the sub-prime crisis probably helped by making bankers unpopular, because eventually the domain name registration of gaybanker.com expired. So just over a week ago I decided to buy it, for the standard low price of a new domain name. If you now go to gaybanker.com, you get forwarded to this blog, and similarly I've now got a gaybanker.com email address too. So what my grandmother told me is true after all, patience is a virtue, even in fast-moving cyberspace!

Congratulations! but just fyi if I type gayba in address, internet auto suggests will still pop up the blogspot address first ;)
Congratulations, once I realised my blog was a mainstay I immediately bought my domain (http://mindofmine.co.uk)
Do you love your email address.
Apparently patience can be rewarding. Well done.
Congratulations! I suspect many of us would like to have an email with this domain too:)
