If this does turn out to be true...more power to him. We're here to make money.

However, the biggest value in this board is the mods...mattyp, safe and snoopy. Their calm, patient, deliberate. and, above all, professional moderation of these forums have, by expertly balancing freedom of speech with the needs of civil exchange, created a communications environment that is trusted, dynamic and highly productive.

Paying these exceptionally mature, level-headed guys for what they've done here over the past half-year would have cost many thousands of dollars.

To be honest with you, if this forum is sold, I'd root for these three domain professionals to form a site together. It is my sense that all three of them see their contributions here as mutually beneficial...they would be talking about this sort of stuff anyway, and they all seem to genuinely want to contribute to the domain community.

Word up!! I have to second that too!! The mods here are doing a great job. I'm pretty sure that without their professional approach in maintaining the forum, as well as sharing their knowledge they have in the domain business, we would not have been able to build the community we have established here today. Their presence is felt by everyone

If Dan sells the site, it is quite understandable. Money is always good, and everything has a price as they say. In my opinion Dan will have struck a great deal if he sells it for the mentioned price. Dan should also have full credit for bringing this site and community together in the first place. We all owe him a big thank you.

Thank you Dan!!
