Originally posted by DnPowerfuI I can tell you that this place is by far the highest quality forum on the net. I usually just come here to look around at all the great people and educational posts. I decided I would finally start posting myself. What better way to start than to thank the fine staff and intellectually gifted members for making this a great place to learn about domains. Whatever question you might have about the biz can be answered here. It's amazing. Thank you DnForum.
I think Gregr owes me a big thank you for not buying dnforum after all
Thanks to all the so called 'chaos' involved a few weeks ago, and all the problems, I was not able to buy and Gregr ended up getting it at a much lower price from what I have been told.
For those who are asking about what happened I won't go into the sordid details again (I am sure you are tired of hearing it) but will only say my offer was based on Dan keeping it all confidential (that was so with the old Mods offer to) - (which he did not do in both cases
), and basically the status quo as far as the forum happenings go, with me being in the background and changing nothing (even the 3 old Mod's staying on). P.S. Dan was only 16 so perhaps that's why it did not happen. Also, did not know I was dealing with a Minor until after the offer.
Both those things did not come to pass, as you guys well know. Perhaps it was also my fault for getting involved in some flame wars also, though if Dan would have kept the purch quiet until after it was final (as requested) that would not have happened.
Anyway, sometimes things work out for the best, look at the great bargain Greg got by buying dnforum. In fact, though some predicted it would fail it seems the opposite has happened. The forum is now approaching 200 new members since the sale fiasco started.
Also, after a slower period right after the sale, it now seems the member posts have now picked up dramatically in quantity and quality. A lot of the success here is due to the new superb Moderators who are doing a great job here, NamePopper in particular. The 3 old Mods also did a great job of course, like the new Mods are now doing too.
This is one hell of a great forum and is by far the most active out of the two other good forums out there I am familar with
