How to use Chinese keyboard for acronym domain names
Yesterday I wrote about making Chinese friends. I think this is probably the best method when you need to find Chinese meanings for your domain names. If you have one or two Chinese friends, then you can get help readily and most likely not having to pay for it. Well, maybe just a good meal […]

The popcorn thread of the week is over at Namepros and it deals with .40 domain purchases, Paypal chargebacks for revenge and an innocent member getting caught up in the melee.
