Namepros.com Sold to Bodis

[Bodis.com]

Kudos to Matt for making the post he did, I agree both forums will continue to be great assets to the community.

I see Matt and I working on some joint ventures for the good of the community.

Adam Dicker

I agree. There is a lot of things we can combine forces on to make the two communities better and make everyone happier.

I did have one question and pardon me if it's already been answered: Any speculation on Bodis's strategy and what their interest in NamePros is?

Thanks for asking the $64,000 question.

Let me make it clear to you and my members, I am on board with working with you to make domaining better for everyone.

I'll even buy an ad banner and no not for dnforum.com

One thing DNF is missing is the 'All Domains for Sale' functionality that NamePros currently has. I'm sure many will agree with me.

Simple solution. Click on "New Posts" on every visit, and you'll never miss a thread again.

No offense to Acro, but I also find the article a joke "fictional" when I read it. Though I never pay attention to it.

Exactly, and nobody is to blame for that confusion than the author himself... Anytime you mix Real News with Satire it's naturally going to create confusion of what's Fact and what's Fiction, This is why I posted about not trusting the source. By the Authors OWN disclaimer, ALL posts, information and content on the web site DomainGang.com are fictional,

"Disclaimer: All posts, information and content on the web site DomainGang.com are fictional, humorous and depict a satire. No information contained herein is to be perceived as real, even if parts of it are accurate or appear to be real. Any resemblance to real people or events is fictitious and purely coincidental. The intent of DomainGang.com is to provide entertainment via the public release of content related to the domaining industry or other social aspects of life. We are not to be held responsible for any damage caused by your use of the satiric content. By accessing DomainGang.com and perusing the DomainGang.com information and content you fully agree that you are aware of and consent to this Disclaimer. "

So my question to Adam is; Why is DomainGang listed under the Publications Sub Forum and the not the Humor Sub Forum?

And it's really unfortunate to see the author being so unprofessional about this, attacking me personally for simply stating the obvious... Adam, Matt and RJ are all businessmen, all successful... They got where they are by being professional, for being tolerant and respectful of others opinions, for being objective and not dismissive, When I disagreed with Adam or Matt on something, they didn't send me threatening PM's, calling me names and insulting me, this is what children do... I guess this is what separates the Men from the Boys, you would think the author would of learned this by now.

As for the release of this news, I think Matt and RJ should of had an agreement of when to release the news... To have this released without RJ's knowledge and while his GrandMother was very ill, the whole thing really rubs me the wrong way.

I thought that you guys have a new resolution for the New Year:

- No fighting, No name calling, No Bush, No Obama, No Republican, No Democrat and no "I am right and you are wrong".

Can we all live and get along with each other?

Anyway... Back on the subject, congrats on the sale RJ and Bodis, it'll be interesting to see its development. But DNF is, and will remain the best pro forum for serious domainers.

@Raider and Acro - can we have a thread purely for your disputes? They're very entertaining to read

[Adam Dicker]

All non related posts have been deleted, the next non related post will result in a 7 day ban.

Back to the subject.

Adam is there a number that you would accept for DNF? I'm saying a reasonable offer, 1mil is a turn down that only a true professional in the field can make.

Bodis: I wish you best of luck with your new acquisition, if you decided to fork up that kind of money I know you have a good plan. I don't know you but if there is anything I could do to assist let me know. My suggestion to start would be new ownership fresh new look maybe even a logo. Try http://www.logopond.com industries best designer hang out spot. Price range from 500-700. To me look of a site dictates if I'm joining or not. I know you didn't ask for my opinion but you are a business man and anyway to acquire potential users feed back is great info to know

Take care best of luck

Adam, noticed this when you posted.

Nothing to do with this thread, as I have not followed it, but want to clarify this expression.

When *I* say imho, I mean it as in my HUMBLE opinion. This is a common expression on the net, and has been since bbs days, and can mean either. Something to consider. People read things differently.

[Mike Cruz]

And when *I* say IMHO, I mean... "I'm a Ho"... Just for future reference if anyone cares.

Namepros did those live auctions which provided a few decent bargains over the years but a lot of garbage to sift through. They also had (And still do I think) an active chatroom. Those are things to build on there..or maybe here? Good luck to Bodis(Matt), the more folks you can bring into the fold, the better.

I won't post that publicy but I can tell you I have turned down higher offers, the only one that knows the revenue numbers of dnforum is me and I have no immediate plans to sell.

It is very hard to run a paid membership forum successfully and when you have one, their are always many buyers available.

Why sell something that is priceless

[chipmeade]

Why sell something that is priceless

For the money of course! Remember, in domaining. "Thank you for the offer but this domain is not for sale" is just a negotiation opening.

[Mike Cruz]

NO = not right now

[PokerPie]

Curious to see how this turns out for them. Did domainstate do well after it was acquired?

I think NP has a lot of potential but the execution is horrible right now. I can't stand even looking at that crappy design.

One thing I do like is those regular auctions they hold in chat, would be cool if dnf had something like that, oh and their high priced domains forum that is moderated for quality
