"says Schilling, flipping back his shoulder-length blond hair"

So Frank Schilling has shoulder-length blond hair?? And so does Vern Jurovich also from Name Administration? What are the odds that two N.A. principals both have shoulder-length blond hair and both appear in their mid-30s? Wow.

You need to cut back on the X-Files reruns Sasq.
Frank and Vern were both at the show. Frank's hair looked very brown to me so I was surprised to hear it described at blond.

Was it a shoulder-length though? :-D

Duke, have they ever been photographed together?

Yes, but half the guys at the show had shoulder length hair, were in their mid 30's and wore a Hawaiian shirt, so none of those things are uncommon in this business.

Frank forgot to bring his photo albums so I'm not sure.

hmm, according to the article the top domainers of this world appear to be made up of reclusive china men, slops who hate work, and shoulder length hair Tarzans. :cheesy:

Name Admin is barking up the wrong tree, imho.

LOL, Yeah, Frankie sure is barking up the wrong tree, he is earning tens of thousands per day sitting in his Cayman Islands mansion. If Frankie is barking up the wrong tree I really would love to find the right tree to bark up!

But I guess it's worth it to him is not? For every one name that they sell for $20,000, they can reg 3,000 new names. That is 3,000 fresh new opportunities for another $20,000 sale etc. etc. And they keep recycling themsleves like that. Its like a virus or a malignant cell just spreading around opportunistically. To say the least I think it's worth it.

do they sell domains? from what I read, they didn't sell names

The man behind the conference, Rick Schwartz, couldn’t be happier -- and he isn’t even around when midnight strikes and bikini-clad women take to the dance floor to raffle off prizes and peel off their tops. Schwartz, 52, began buying up domain names 10 years ago. Like many early players, he gravitated to where the money was: porn. He snapped up names like Ass.com, Makeout.com, and Porno.com, to name a few. It was a quick path to riches: Adult sites were paying handsomely for the traffic; mainstream sites were not -- at least not yet.


In the meantime, Google and Yahoo are trying to keep the type-in business coming -- and execs from both companies are using the Delray Beach conference to court the folks who control it. As the party at Delux winds down, 14 Yahoo executives pile into a stretch Hummer with a few of the domainers, including Schilling, who has an exclusive contract in which Yahoo serves all the ads for his sites. The limo heads 35 miles south on Interstate 95 to Scarlett’s Gentlemen’s Club. The men kick back in the VIP section, outfitted with plush booths and red velvet curtains.


When the woman in charge of the area comes by and mentions the cost of the booths, the Yahoo crew gets nervous. And in the end, no one wants to submit the $1,000 tab to the expense department back at headquarters. Finally, Schilling pulls out a roll of cash and pays up. Not a big deal for a guy who owns a share of a jet. But considering that Schilling’s traffic generated more than 1 percent of Yahoo’s $3.6 billion in revenues last year, you’d think one of those guys could have stood up and taken one for the team.

DUKE I missed this in the DNJournal recap hahahaha

We try to take the high road in our coverage.

I'm confused; did xnx make these paragraphs up?

If so, Duke should hire him :-D

 

[eq78]

How did the female domainers and wives take to the bikini prize girls taking off their tops? DUKE

Don't know, missed it. That was the night I had to drive to Ft. Lauderdale to pick up my wife who flew over from Tampa for the last couple of days of the conference. Sounds likes that might have been good timing for me - otherwise I might have had a lot of explaining to do.

 

[Theo]

That alone will convince me to attend next time :-D

"...In this case, that’s Frank Schilling, a reclusive man who has quietly become one of the world’s most powerful and respected domainers..."

For a so-called "reclusive man" Frank seems to be in the thick of things. Somehow I can't imagine Yun Ye taking 1,000 in cash out of his pockets and paying up for strippers :-D

"...Schilling, who is 36, was monitoring his sites from the Ritz-Carlton in Naples, Fla., where he and his family had been living since Hurricane Ivan leveled their house in the Cayman Islands a month earlier..."

They mention his family here. Is he married?

 

[JMJ]

People living in the Caymen Islands see people walking around pretty much naked if not naked in some places everyday so a strip club isn't much different. As far as a married business man being in one well thats a given. All a part of doing business and contrary to popular belief you can mix business with pleasure. :-D

Tell that to Duke's wife :-D

I dunno about Duke's wife or Duke for that matter. But when I was doing the entertaining for my mortgage co. there were multiple occasions where my ex (whom happened to have as much stake in the company as I) would be right there in the middle of us guys at the club along with other women from the office. You wouldn't catch me in a male strip club but they have those for a reason aswell. Take what I said here or what was said in the article how you wish but the fact remains not everyone lives their lives by the way it might be perceived by others or by how others think they should live. To each his/her own.

'Tis wild living in Florida, I tell ya! :-D
