What do you think the site is worth?

thats because they dont allow their site to be shown on google or anywhere else
It was a great domain forum, one of the few places where you could PM an admin and expect a reply.
LOL! Same here, and you should know very well that *ANYONE* who has been even remotely related to either that sour ownership bid or any subsequent ownership is treated ... differently, to say the least. No, I'm not saying that they are all jerks, but at least one of them is.hmmm....Not fully correct. One of the Admins ignored my PMs. I don't think he liked me. That was one of the reasons I left DS after more than 1,000 posts over several years.
It may also be why the site has not grown very much and is now for sale. It's not like the site was a private forum, so I guess I really do not see why they would block it from SE's.thats because they dont allow their site to be shown on google or anywhere else
So those who were banned over at DomainState please stand up. LOL!I was never banned from DS but know there are several notable and excellent members of DNF (I won't say who) who were in fact banned from DS over past few years which you may not be aware of. They are now extremely valuable respected members of this forum.
What with the rise of blogs and social networks like Facebook I am sure forum participation must be down most everywhere. It seems like anyone who is even mildly well known has their own blog and are hard at work promoting it.
For example, I have my own blog plus over 400 friends on Facebook now (mostly domainers) which may be a wider circle vs the forum boards. Since they spend so much time on their own blogs or FB there would be less and less time for forums.
This scenario could be similar to the big decline of forum chat which went from very popular 10 yrs ago to an ongoing decline to today's levels where chat is rarely used.
It would not be surprising to see other forums in adition to DomainsState.com close or sold too.
I don't think there are many (any?) domain sales going on in facebook. Although all the domainers are well connected there
I think it'll take much longer to get used to this. I still find forums better suited for business. Old habits die hard..
Actually, I am quite surprised by the fact that once again, the intended sale of DomainState is announced more like a plea to attract eyeballs on a forum that has diminished in traffic compared to DNForum and NamePros, rather than as an invitation to purchase a healthy business. Unless the owners already have a buyer that has plans to re-launch the dodo of domain forums, I see no street value to DomainState.com as a pure domain.
