Numeric Domain of the Month - you won't be disappointed

On this Valentine's Day, we thought to invent a new designation - The Numeric Domain of the Month - and we have a very special domain in mind, indeed. In honor of this love and romance themed holiday, and also on the heels of the rapid evaporation - nearly 2,000 disappearing per day - of NNNNN.com's that dedicated domainers are devoting discussion to around the clock at NamePros.com, we would like to announce that the Numeric Domain of the Month goes to....

143247.com!

Congrats to the owner! For those out there who aren't in the know (and apparently there aren't a lot of people in the know about this one), 143247 actually means something. As explained by the domain's current owner recently on a NamePros.com discussion forum:

it i love you 2 4 7 ..many ppl use that..


After one reader was lost on this explanation, another forum member on NamePros added a much-needed clarification:

I is 1 letter, love is 4 letters, you is 3 letters. 143(I love you). Then 247 means 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

143247 had its origins with pager codes invented in the 1990s and nowadays is usually written out as 143 24/7.

So on this Valentine's Day, instead of the commonplace and non-imaginative three-word phrase of affection that is expected for you to blurt out whether or not you mean it or want to say it 'that way', express how you feel in a brand new way. Say 143247. Or, better yet, 143637.
