NamePopper.com???

[clemzonguy]

Please read my post above - it really is very simple. The HumanFetus.com domain was already redirected to NamePopper.com. Leo simply caught NamePopper.com, and all the redirections remain in place.

Originally it did appear it forwarded to....

http://www.reigndomain.com/fetus.htm

but yes...

http://www.namepopper.com/fetus.htm

forwards to the same place

For the record, a group of us, including Duke, Leo, Bob and myself tried to find Nick. Leo is most definately NOT Nick, nor has he logged in to Nick's eNom account.

Who are some possible suspects?
:bandit: :evil: :clown: :santa: (bah) :goofy: :-O

I'd be willing to bet on the theory that it was GregR building up business using a sockpuppet account. It was the perfect way to get people thinking that some newbie off the street could buy a bunch of bad names and make a profit selling them here. It would also explain the way Namepopper acted and some things GregR said on the few occasions where they'd post to the same thread (and the fact that they both disappeared after Greg sold the site).

If memory serves correctly, Nick was here before Greg owned DNF. I'm also certain that Nick's names were owned by a 'female' Afternic member from around 1999, which fits with Nick's story of his mother. Too much trouble for Greg.. Also, Nick sold flowers.org for way less than it was worth - something (no offence intended) that Greg would never do.

Aaron,

I believe that, for the most part, Nick was a real person. His name and address were definately fake. We (particularly Bob), scoured thousands of public records looking for him.

 

[David G]

Yes, little doubt his name and identity were fake (see my prior post for the theory re NickMaster).

NP did leave dnf very shortly after GregR sold to DCG. I am 98% convinced there was extremely bad feelings between them because NP worked so amazingly hard online most all the time (it always seemed he was here online doing his great Mod'ing 24X7) as the #1 Mod in the World. Without his great work and time dnf would not be nearly so valuable an asset for dcg to buy from gregr. It was obvious to everyone NP made more contributions to dnf success than the owner Greg.

Namepopper probably was totally disgusted and upset that gregr made lots of money selling the forum he made so successful, without any compensation or ownership interest to him. Rather than argue the point and cause trouble he probably simply disappeared and gave up the domain business in disgust and rode into the sunset in the west, never to be seen again (something eaasily done if using a nondeplume).

Ladies and Gentlemen...Elvis has left the building.

But there are rumors that he works at a 7-11 in Las Vegas. :-D

 

[Theo]

If GregR was NP's alter ego, he's in trouble with the wife :-D

For the record Namepopper and I spoke briefly on the phone the night he went missing and he and I worked out a deal to let him run the show here.

Unfortunately, I did not keep the phone number I called him at but I did speak by phone with the one that called himself namepopper.

Did you ever speak with Gregr on the telephone? It should be easy to find that phone number. All you need to do is call the phone company or cell phone company for that matter. The time frame is also very easily determinable.

Popper wasn't Gregr. I'm uneasy posting this, but Nick's own words make that point clear. Who would talk about themselves like that? (Sorry Greg.)

CheapHosting.us is cool. The first .us name I actually purchased
(as opposed to registering). Got it for $100 so I'm happy.

I'm getting real close to giving my full allegiance and
dedication to Name-Pros - and giving less and less to DNF.
There are too many things that are just wrong over there.

RJ - you have to understand - even though my friend (you) runs
Name-Pros - and many of my other friends work & visit there -
that I gave DNF a piece of me that I have not given many
other projects in my life. I lived and breathed DNF and
I was devoted to the members and the community. It's hard
to just move on and forget about that - and part of me has
never recovered from when greedy ass Greg sold it without
even the courtesy of telling me (or the other staff) or
even paying us a damn dime after he cleaned up on the deal.

It's becoming clear though - that I have to just accept
that it's over and things are not going to be the same there.

That doesn't mean that the spirit can't be captured again
though - and Name-Pros is already heading in that direction.

Geez.... f--king Greg. If he had just handled some things
differently - then maybe I wouldn't have this bad taste in
my mouth - and have such trouble saying goodbye. It's just
hard to walk away from something that you gave so much to.
It's hard to see it go into the toilet. And it's even harder
when I had no control over it - and had to just sit and watch
thanks to the way things were handled.

Well anyway... I'm just thinking out loud.

All I know is when I go to DNF now I feel like shit - but when
I come to Name-Pros I feel a little of the old spark again. It's
all about the community feeling. A family type thing.

I need a home damn it. LOL. I can't live 2 different places.
Some people can but I can't. I need one place to be my focus.
That's just the way I am.

 

[Theo]

The person who emailed claiming they are NP's brother uses a writing style VERY close to that of NP's.

Many people stage their own deaths, to kill one's online persona is even easier.

Not at all surprised to read that. It seems I was right about it all after all.

Now the question is what is his member name at NPros?

 

[Anthony Ng]

He used NamePopper too before he disappeared from everywhere.

 

[DomainOgre]

Good to know about CheapHosting.us, since that was the only deal I had with him. All the faking it talk had me doubting whether he really bought it for $100 or not like he told me. Glad my recent doubts were wrong .
