Where do people get this stuff.

I have never posted under domaindicker2004 either.

Some people believe everything they read.

You would not believe how many people took this story seriously and asked me about it.

There's even a disclaimer at the bottom of that post. Which is nice for them.

Funny article though!

This story was featured in the Domaining.com newsletter and the headline was something like "DNForum shutting down". Until I clicked the link and saw it was DG it felt like my life was being torn apart.

I just hear on the news that a bunch of Domainers will file civil lawsuit for emotional damage due to false information from the site:

Plaintiffs:
Adam Dicker
Ron James
Ron Jackson
Rick Latona
Rick Schwartz
Kevin Ham
and a few others

The attorney who will represent in this case is John Berry Hill.

More details should be available to the public soon.











Note: The above information will be published on domaingang website soon.

Acro: Looks like you are just making it a fun blog - not a serious Blog where domainers can get some useful info.

See if you need to re-think the strategy.

Theo did not write this article. I was the writer of this article. As a matter of fact, Theo did not even know I was publishing it. I am Giovanni "Crazee" Mossolini.

DomainGang nor myself did not mean to stir up trouble, only to point out that Adam was the VP of GoDaddy, that GoDaddy had the ridiculous 60 day rule implemented for every reason under the sun and that most perks promised to exclusive DNF members have seemed to disappear.

In addition, it was posted as a spoof of this post.

Adam, I apologize and the article has been removed.

My thoughts...

I have been tricked a couple times myself before realizing the disclaimer. I suppose that is the point to a degree or why bother but there is a serious issue that needs to be considered.

Some even may not ever discover the disclaimer and rumors spread, damge done, real damage. Out of respect for the community as a whoe I suggest this type of humor is ended. Not saying other industries of other blogs/sites do not do the same but this industry is a close knit one, we do not need bad press or individual reputations toyed with, disclaimer or not.

I believe Theo is just a fun guy looking for a laugh and he is getting one most times, problem is the times he is not. Personally if my name was involved I would not be please at all, it takes years to build a reputation and protecting it is very important. It is not open to be traded for a laugh or shock factor.


Theo, remove the story and perhaps deal with ficticious persons

The story has been removed. See my post above.

It is not the point of domain gang to just "get a laugh". Some people get it, some don't.
