Here, lemme' give you the rundown:
1. Dan is $5000-$7500 poorer that he thought he might be, but is suddenly feeling that he's now as jaded as his parents. They smoke cigarettes together. He now only posts occasionally on his own board. He's also hired the public relations firm of Slutsky and Slutsky so that he can tell his story on Connie Chung and make $20,000 doing national signings of "Domains For Dummies."
He's happier than ever. Things have actually worked out.
2. RealNames has decided to leave his house for the first time in more than 6 years, and 'boy, is it sunny!'. He finds that flowers bloom, children play, and conspiracies don't lurk around every corner. He can't believe his luck.
He tries not to think about the past much--it's far too painful.
3. DnPowerful, after triumphantly declaring that 'DnForum is the future of domains' just a few short days ago, is now reading books on chaos theory and quantum physics so he won't be proven wrong again.
Because in the last two weeks he's put more energy into bickering than he has selling domains, he now must return his brand new 7 Series BMW. The salesman frown at him from a distance when he pops in for free BMW calendars to hawk on ebay.
4. Timechange, a soft ban some months back that seemed slightly excessive, is now back at DnState.com, a strange example of how a regime change can sometimes lead to new beginnings.
5. GregR still posts cryptically off things, but continues to sell lots of domains off his site, but paradoxically, is pushing ahead with plans for a forum and escrow service. Apparently he's learned nothing here.
His new avatar was really funny the first time.
6. Dustbowls of squabbles by the smart and stupid alike continue, and most everyone is tired of it all and wondering why there wasn't more communication amongst the principals just a few days ago which might have prevented this all.
Nothing else much has happened.
