What worried me was the fact that some one on DNforum, would do such a thing and talk in such away to me, clearly anyone doing such a thing has some metal problems.

And who knows what they could do if they are acting in such away over a post, and as one knows local police will not help unless they are local. The guy had my ph# and worst yet where I live, so yes I worried about it and deleted it pretty fast.

Normally I would not have worried, but this guy had said all the stuff, with out once letting me say a word to defend my post, nor did he once try to defend his auction. That is not a normal person or reaction at all, so yes he worried me and scared me like any normal person would of been.

Ive been a member of just about all the forums at one point or another.

I can basically summerize it up by stating dnf is the BEST, while it has a lot of fresh faces and those who are learning it also has as much knowledge. There are more buyers, sellers and people who look out for each other and can do so in a greater way due to the size. Namepros is along the same lines and perhaps domainstate.

I trade a lot of high dollar names on a consistant basis and being a member of a private forum has been of nearly no advantage for finding buyers or increasing my knowledge. The only private forum I was a member of and miss was *** :)

Well, it was actually due to Legendary JP and our ongoing domainer feud at the time :pound:


:lol: The good ole days.

Times have changed, different business partners and now different rides :smilewinkgrin:

Shit man you can't be scared just like that, anybody could have done that, it's pretty easy to get angry on the phone but it's totally different to actually come to someone's doorstep and beat the shit out of him without any resistance experienced. That's not going to happen if you're half reasonable.

If you ask me, the only place you can't let him touch you is your home. That's something you and others must respect, no compromises.

Call the police, your friends, or guest him in (like I would do) with a nice reception he'll never forget. Be sure to do something if he actually comes but I doubt, that kinds of dogs only bark unless (which I'm pretty sure it's not the case) he's a total lunatic actually ready to do something stupid. Then you need to beat the hell out (alone or with friends it doesn't matter) of him and call the police. Don't worry about the areas I'm sure the police will handle him if he's a problem to the community.

Idi Amin? What he did is well documented. Those are called 'facts.' Facts are not the same thing as second hand hearsay.

Continuing logic fail.

AhmedF, so what either present or past members of a group say must, according to your argument, can not be thought of as 'facts'? This is where logic comes in. One takes the evidence and weighs it as individual pieces and also as supporting or refuting evidence with other pieces of evidence, this is called gathering knowledge, then when you have sufficient knowledge you then use logical reasoning to come to an opinion. That opinion may well change as other evidence becomes available, one or more pieces of evidence may increase or decrease in importance due to new evidence being obtained, and under such circumstances an opinion may remain the same or change. Thus logical reasoning contiunually takes place.

If you wish to discuss logic, its aquisition and interpretation, and uses thereof then please start a thread and I will join in. It is a facinating field of endeavour, everyone who is conscious (and most even when unconscious) do it all the time without realising it. I promise you it would be an enthralling debate we could have. :yes:

But this post is about people getting banned, yet my simple (although somewhat at times sarcastic answer) to a simple question about who 'dbr' are seems to have hit a raw nerve with some members (whilst obviously others have enjoyed it). But the fact that we are able to talk like this shows that the management team consisting of Adam, the Admins, and the present Mods have struck a pretty good level of hands-on/hands-off management of the forum. That is one of the main reasons this is the best forum today.

I didn't know that you're talking about DNForum. You should really let Adam know (if not publicizing it in the forum).

It's true that your local police station may not be very helpful. That's why I suggest calling the online (Internet) fraud section. But if that guy is not local, chances are he is not able to do anything to you locally.

You need to learn another word - bias.

Your obvious bitterness/bias against DBR makes your 'second hand' knowledge useless and pretty much the opposite of 'facts'

Then again, I guess pointing out your own fallacies must be because my nerves are tingling.

Continuing logic fail.

Three pages and I still don't know what DBR is! It must be very, very exclusive ;)

So yeah... what does DBR stand for?

Three pages and I still don't understand why there is a three page thread about being kicked off another forum.

I did report the guy to admin because another forum member ask me to, the guy was doing the same thing to the other member, and he ask me about it so I'm sure he was banned.

i find nothing wrong with being "approved" or "invited" etc. before being allowed to join.

as an example:
sedopro is by invitation only and you have to be earning a certain amount or own at or above a specific number of domains.

still, i am not or never have been, one to "roll on the floor" before "anyone" in my life or a forum!

as for a lot of the members not being able to "think outside the box"...

i'd have to say that was a "closed minded statement"

finally, agreeing to a "confidentiality" statement is making a committment to the forum and the members.

and i'd rather be around those who are committed and are willing to keep the interesting and "enlightening conversations" within the confines of the forum and it's members.


to me, it makes for a "tighter knit group" of individuals who think for themselves, rather than being told how and what to think.


imo...


This sounds like a forum I want to be a part of. It also sounds like one devoid of people trying to hawk their handregged domains (and asking endless questions about the same). More signal, less noise in other words.

As a one year old domainer with xxx,xxx invested in my portfolio and xxx,xxx+ more to invest, I would humbly appreciate an invitation or a referral to this forum if anybody would be so kind.

It looks like some people have started a new domain related chatroom where it is invitation only and you have to work hard and play smart.

It appears several sponsors are giving away free domain registrations and Tshirts when you sign up.

The new URL is displayed in the video.
