I have a habit of collecting interesting yet vaguely generic domain names and holding onto them for future projects. (Which I almost never get around to.)

so do I. the other day I renewed a domain I got 5 years ago and I didn't even remember what I planned.

Then why did you renew? Domain squatters suck.

If it's a good domain it would be snatched by someone who wants to make a profit flipping domains. The domain business is broken.

Domains that are blocked by people not using them for years are just as bad.

Perhaps, but it's easier to deal with a user you can contact at [alias]@registrardotcom versus a corporation you can contact at spam@corporationdotcom

So does GoDaddy.
