This is in fact in progress - metadata for the alphabet in use (eg, digits, alphanumeric, emoji). Combined with length itâll be possible to filter for, eg, 3 digit names.

I brought this up 2 years ago:
âŚNick was very against the idea, as he is most of my ideas.
I wish we could revisit the remarketing/affiliate concept, which I believe would have been the single best marketing campaign for ENS, but everyone is allergic to marketing or helping âthe communityâ promote ENS.
not only that but I think people have the right to not be categorized and subsequently get harassed by people who want try and buy their names without solicitation.
ENS is essentially like waterâŚitâs up to us all how we use itâŚdonât abuse it else you may end up drowning in it!
Donât try holding on to it for too long else it will become stagnant.
Like you said, and like when people chose to interact with water, we can choose to swim in it, go surfing in it or even stick it in a high pressure hose and use it to harm people.
ENS is and will be one of the most important nutrients for web3 if we can just allow it.
If we can all just sometimes remember to forget what we already know, let down our stigmas and closed mindedness, look outside our own backyard and recall the old saying âNothing ventured, nothing gainedâŚâ
What ENS really needs is better communication and dynamic social integration on all levels.
Thatâs not meant to be a criticism but hopefully more of a wake up call and a hope for things to continue building forwards.

I donât think that ENS Labs should support developing a sub collection feature. That would suggest â these categories are the names that have value '. Even with good intention for that to not be the case, people would still inherit the sentiment as something to pack and unload their bags on. Wouldnât be a good look. I honestly think that âcategorizingâ ENS names is trivial and along with that come a sense of novelty NFT, when it is actually a tool.
Letâs be real, what are any of the âclubs or categoriesâ as an entity doing for ENS in a development sense and other than marketing their own bags for personal profit that is likely to never get pushed into development ( or maybe, but I donât know of any instances ).

Indeed I do actually agree.
However, also I would love to see some consensus data on public sentiment across the likes of X/Twitter and other sectors that to try and figure out if people even know the difference between Labs and the DAO for example?..I think the general lack of basic to medium levels of education and knowledge of ENS is not to be overlooked eitherâŚ
Vice versa, I think it would be intrinsically valuable to the DAO and Labs to also take more time to spend time engaging with its constitutes and not being afraid to get stuck into the front lines so to speak of twitter. Not just to appease the current ENS comunities but to go further afield and be willing to casually drop into random Spaces and become familiarised with the trends and topics that essentially is the fabric of web3 whether we like it or not?..
For a years now, ENS has had a small army of passionate loyal and intelligent people sitting in plane sight which if done well and if the right people get together (not just 1 or 2 people) I mean an actual Social media, social DAO that didnât have to rely on shilling their bags of .club or .squat domainsâŚ
I have recently been shocked, while not overly surprised by the movements and strategies being rolled out in force by Unspeakable Domains across Twitter and Twitter spacesâŚthey are starting to get noticed and from what I can tell, they are trying to blurr the lines between what ENS (.eth) really meansâŚ
Perhaps as an Idea for such a collection, could be to aim to create a group of validated and nominated people who sit a test of some kind, based on their general understanding of how ENS worksâŚIn turn these letâs call them âleadersâ could be equipped with things like POAPS, subdomain give aways for onboarding and even given access to certain NFTs or Token gated communitiesâŚI just see a world by where if for example - you give a"Squatter" a POAP or a title/a purpose etc, that the âSquatterâ might feel recognised, valued and allowed the chance to become the best version of themselvesâŚjust by merely wearing/hodling a âBadge of Honourâ
Perhaps a topic for another thread!! Im sorry. But I can tell you now, that there would be nothing stopping them from reading everything in this forum and potentially just paying the ârightâ people behind the scenes to make it happen for them, and in doing so, they will further their footings into Web3.
