Mizzoula, it's a long boring story. It was sugg'd to Dan long before I ever reg'd it. He choose not to reg. it. I then later decided to reg. it. When texas native Gregr became new dnforum owner, I offered it to him through email. He didn't seem interested either. Bottom line is a) I have "given" away more domain names then I have ever sold b) i'll give it to gregr if he wants it.

moving along...now.. next topic... "-)

Gee - I noticed somebody registered DNForum.us also.

 

[.com.net.org]

So, when the bid start ?

 

[TexasFilly]

If Gregr would publically state that he'de like the name, then it goes to him, freebie.. if he does not want the name, then I'm asking $35. (Jeff is the first one who's pm'd an interest)

You told me $70. If someone is willing to pay $35, go for it.

That seems kinda ego twisted to me. I'm not sure if 'ego twisted' is an accepted phrase - but it sounds right.

What's with the 'publically state' stuff? And why did you try and charge him for it? - if you are such an Angel?

Hey - this biz is about money no doubt - but I thought this was not biz?

Wow, things are not only bigger in Texas, but more confusing too.

before i rejoined the dnforum, i offered the name to gregr for $70.. (fair asking price) he had no interest.. and even when i tried to give it too him.. he had no interest.. so not sure why you are attacking my 'ego' namepopper.. not so.. just not so..

and by all means, an asking price of $35 from a party who would be "interested" is certainly a fair asking price.. don't ya think?

I didn't know about the public request requirement.

One has to wonder - why would another party own the .NET version of a well established .COM site in the first place - if not for either profit or spite.

So I'm only saying that your intentions are obviously not as pure as the driven snow - or the name would have been forwarded to Greg 5 minutes after you made the original offer.

 

[NamePopper.com]

I was just making a few obvious comments. This is my last one.

The complicated thing is - the reason the name was purchased apparently goes back to the old owner and crew.
Let me just remind you - that there is now a different owner and crew. Bottom line.

Have a nice evening.

Strange that a "public" request of gregr must be made...as if to show, you have a domain he really wants.....

I think a closed doors request should suffice... I'm sure he doesn't want it anyway, but in my opinion, he should get it if anyone, and most likely would take it if offered...No need to make him ask publicly...

Just my opinion.

public interest is not required.. but we've exchanged e-me on this topic gregr.. you showed no interest... (an email would be nice)

i just don't enjoy public crucification, when the dn.net name was purchased long before you bought the site/name.. and when i learned of your ownership it was offered too you.. you still had no interest.

and all you folks who wish to run down someone for reg'ing a .net name, when the .com is a live site.. step forward.. we've all done it..

come on... loosen up your ties.. or take them off entirely, and let's not make the filly out to be what she is NOT.. which is what happened in the past.. prior to texas ownership of dnforum..

we're playing a "Simple Parlor Game" here..

can't we all just enjoy.....

if it would make all happy, i'll let the name drop.. and you can all scramble for it.. i don't give a rat's ass.. i don't plan to build on the name..
i sugg'd the name to prev' owner DAN da MAN.. (and he's aware) he also showed no interest.
so.. can anyone rightfully tell me, of any RULE I have evaded.. or anything I've REALLY done wrong..

tell me? I'm all ears.......

If you let it drop, someone will pick it up. certainly.

It was not widely known that the prior owner Dan was an inexperienced 17 yr-old high school Boy (not a Man as you said), with no money who said he wanted some money to buy a good used car :laugh: This site on that server went down a few times due to a delinquent hosting acct (it was said at the time) by the old server owner in a posting here.

That's how myself and others including the 3 old Mod's knew the site could be purchased (and for a low price), and why that old buyers war broke out, eventually won by Gregr. Dan had no money to buy dnforum.net even if he wanted to buy it.

Perhaps you should offer it for the true reg fee you paid for it, which I am sure was not $70 or even $35., right? (did you really use NetSol to reg it?),

P.S. Without me Dan would have even been more broke as I ended up giving him shall we say a 'contribution' for a banner ad which he suddenly stopped running in mid-campaign and with no good reason given! I never did recoup that 'contribution' to Dan's used car or hosting bill. :cry:

Happy New Year to all and success on the Web in 2003!

Your zzz post post was made just when I though it was finally getting interesting

The thread seems to be a pimple on the sales forum - and I'm going to pop it.

Moving thread to the Lounge now. Thank you.

 

[GiantDomains]

dnforum.bz is available. Maybe gregr will retire in Belize and want the name.

 

[Jack Gordon]

Wow - a good old fashioned pissing contest, in Texas no less!

It's great to be an American.

I have a solution that should make everyone happy.

Gregr: Please state publicly that you have no objection to a free webmail site being created on the domain, which seems kind of obvious because you don't seem to care about the domain

mastmnds: Please state publicly your intention to start a free webmail service using the domain if only there was some way to get your hands on it

TexasFilly: Out of the goodness of your Texan heart, give the name to mastmnds to do this good deed

Everyone else: Let's show our appreciation to TexasFilly and mastmnds for making this service possible, with Gregr's consent, and throw some dnbucks their way.

Glad I could be of service. I'm off to the Mideast now to help them with their little misunderstanding
