Goes to show new TLDs are huge failures.
Btw, you have to be complete moron to buy chat.chat 🙂
There have been many new gtld purchases like chat.chat, where the 2nd level name is the same as the TLD. I don’t understand why…

No they won’t. At least in domain sales. I don’t care about meaningless registration numbers.
