I'm not interested in investing in domain names. To the countrary, I wish there was some kind of policy that required domain names to actually be used for something within a year of being registered, to avoid domain name squatters buying up domains just to sell them on without adding any value.

not sure if one year especially when some projects just take a while, and you wanna get the name well in advance, but when sites clearly just have an ad space and nothing more on them for several years it sux, like my1.com was something I wanted to get because it sounds cool, but nope, interestingly when I wanted to ask the whois email address about selling the domain god knows when, the email bounced, not sure if it's allowed to have a boucing whois email.

I think some good-faith solution for this might be nice.
