Where is Dan anyway? I haven't seen him posting here for a while... Has he been banned from the forum?

(The End: not yet

)

Especially this

J/K Draqon...please don't go mad, I might have said the same 3 years ago :santa:

To put the record straight, Dan didn't have the money to grow this site beyond what it was at the time. We had to contribute money to maintain DNF servers when it went off line because of overdue bills. The 3 mods who grew this place were very pissed at what Dan did.

**Salient** · 04-01-2005, 11:08 AM

I fairly new, so I dont know all the details. However, I bid $5,100.00

To think some people didn't think the forum was worth $5,000. I wonder what they would say now.

**ajiabs** · 04-01-2005, 12:06 PM

Does anybody has the ownership history of this place? It would nice to know where it came from.. I know about Greg and Adam. who had it before Greg?

I remember when it went offline. But the "3 amigos" were not suitable to run this place or it would been in such a bad domain state :-D

Imagine, Matty banning me because I had added image banners in my sig that others didn't like viewing. The mods had no sense about how to run the vBulletin, let alone a forum.

**DotComGod** · 04-01-2005, 07:15 PM

Well, there's a new sheriff in town!

What's their alexa rating these days/

**VisualDigits** · 04-02-2005, 12:48 AM

That was a very intersting read, wish I knew about the bid back then

**Capt. Flash** · 04-02-2005, 07:13 AM

Ironically the original 3 moderators did not even own any domain names of their own when this site statrted. They were a joke then and after visiting the site a few days ago by mistake, they still are a joke.

**nameslave** · 04-04-2005, 09:14 AM

I guess that's the difference between running it as a business or just some hobby.

Of course they did, but what do I know.

**csite.net** · 04-04-2005, 04:03 PM

maybe close the thread after 2 years!

Wow, it took me awhile to realize the dates on the thread. I would gladly pay $5k for dnforum.com :p

Read that article, but it really doesn't cover much DNForum history, just Adam's bio. I, too, am a bit curious about the timeline here. I joined in April 2003, and as best I remember, Greg had already sold the place to DCG (or was in the process of doing so). Does that mean Greg only owned this board for less than four months? Is my recollection fuzzy?

**Poker** · 04-10-2005, 04:07 AM

When I joined in Oct 02, Greg was the bitter dictator, so that would make it at least 6 months...
