  Old  Opinion on a domain name..

I was just wondering thoughts on 3-4 letter domains with hyphens (-)

example: n-sb.org

any thoughts on these domain types? I know hyphens are kinda "out" when it comes to good domains. Lemme know what you think.

The hyphen completely ruins it unless you are founding an organization what has it there. I wouldn't bank on finding one.

Only good to split certain keywords, eg. expertsexchange.com - which should be: experts-exchange.com

But value wise, it won't be worth much (a short domain with a hyphen). Might be easy to remember, but on the other hand, it doesn't mean much and where do you put the hyphen - people seem to forget that the most.

I like hyphens. They're easy to pickup for decent keywords. (:

n-sb.org would suck though.

"Killers" - that's in a good or bad sense of the word?
