...I dont think there ever was a Nick Master.....
That's what I have always said too, I think someone once asked him about his occupation and he said 'webmaster' aka 'nickmaster' i.e. InterNic, etc., and the name stuck to him as his nondeplume.
My personal theory (I could of wrong of course) is that Namepooper is not dead but simply got badly burned-out after working so hard for so long, also perhaps realized most all his domains were not good (except for the 2 good ones he sold gif.org and flowers.org), was likely also disturbed about the sale of dnf to dcg (and not being offered a piece of the pie after all that time and work - perhaps), and simply left the business.
That has happened to may well known domainers including NameCaster aka Mudfence (also was a heavy poster and also became a popular and good Mod at another domain forum after leaving dnf - banned), and several other well known players too, they all just vanished without a clue and were never heard from again.
