    Maybe they are hoping to liquidate and get out while they can before Verisign's new brainchild namestore takes over the world!!! *EVIL LAUGH*

    Threads MERGED. Thanks.
    Profoundly influenced by #Bauhaus, @Nameslave unrepentantly embraces #Minimalism in his #multimedia portfolio. His early works include an experimental adaptation of Chekhov’s Cherry Orchard inspired at least partly by Robert Fripp. His totally irrelevant M.Ed. dissertation examines Organizational Culture and Change Management.

    Looks like their DNS system is messed up...

    Had an offer at 6pm, and can't respond to it...

    :(

    Re: Afternic.com for sale?

    I agree that it must be DNS/Web server related. They allow people to set up "for sale" pages by assigning them to their nameservers. It's easy for some schemes to swallow up things they aren't supposed to, by error.

    Re: Afternic.com for sale?

    Is there still a problem?
    When I go to login at Afternic a security box comes up saying "The name on the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the site".

    As of right now, it still comes up with the sale page when I use www.afternic.com. Without the www will bring up the home page but then you get certificate problems when you try to log in. Something weird is still going on...
