What's going on with Epik and Rob Monster?
Indeed, I have enjoyed working at Epik. During a transitional period, I’m staying on to finish tasks, ensure ongoing projects remain ongoing, and train my replacements. Thousands of Epik customers deserve continuity and continued progress, and they’ll get both. There is a good team at Epik...- Points: 7

news Free Speech
@bmugford, Obviously there is no legal requirement to protect freedom of speech except what is written in the law. But that's a tautology. Indeed, the law you quoted (which is a local feature of the USA) only places a limit on other laws that might be enacted, which might limit freedom of...- Points: 7

What's going on with Epik and Rob Monster?
Yes, deservedly so. If the CEO of a domain registrar permits a domain transfer to occur, is it appropriate to leaflet the man's neighborhood and harass his wife, calling him a Nazi? No, it is not. And I do blame the activists who did that. Should a journalist use pejoratives like...- Points: 7

$5.00 per .com offer
This appears to be a click fraud scam. Seller uses fraudulent earnings to buy domains, which are then resold to unsuspecting domainers. It's an attempt to extract cash before the parking companies can claw back fraudulent earnings. Meanwhile, domains are later confiscated or deleted...- Points: 7

Epik Marketplace Commissions / Fees Knowledge Thread
Hi guys, Epik announced the new commission structure via email to customers several months ago. It was also discussed here in NamePros on August 1. See here: https://www.namepros.com/threads/changes-to-epik.1093757/#post-6833404 Summary: Epik Marketlace commissions are for passive listings...- Points: 7

registrars Which Registrar Is Most Secure?
I proposed that at Epik, since we recently implemented security questions. However, it's AMAZING how many end-user customers struggle with the ordinary login process – entering an email address with password. Filling out the form to pick security questions (from a drop-down) and enter answers...- Points: 7

discuss Defend HeidiPowell.com against a Bullying Celebrity Thief!
You may do as you please. But domainers have already rallied in support of the original Heidi Powell. Articles have been written at DNW and outside the industry, condemning this attempt to steal her domain. David Weslow, an experienced domain attorney, evidently sees Mrs. Powell as someone...- Points: 7

discuss Defend HeidiPowell.com against a Bullying Celebrity Thief!
No forum thread ever gets by without hostility from somebody. It's 1 reason why people leave the forums, sadly. Nonsense. Also nonsense. Were I to offer you $10 to delete your post, I would be bribing you. Yet that's 100% legal. Nope. I explicitly stated that I'm not assessing their...- Points: 7

What's going on with Epik and Rob Monster?
Some moral questions are simple. That Gab post is reprehensible – utterly despicable and vile. Many of the comments underneath it applaud the idea of non-white people dying and use racist slurs. No decent person should hesitate to condemn that. Are stabbings a real problem? That is a...- Points: 6

news Free Speech
I've heard a lot of people say this. But it's just not true. Freedoms and rights exist first of all as ideas and values. Only after they are articulated and people share them can they be enshrined in law and protected. And their protection depends on much more than just lawyers and courts...- Points: 6

registrars Which Registrar Is Most Secure?
P.S. Speaking of modifications, Epik's new domain financing feature was released in beta this past week. If you've ever wanted to arrange month-to-month domain rentals, optioning, or installment purchase plans, we're the best game in town.- Points: 6

Domaining as a hobby on resume?
Any skill or experience you can explain can go on a resume. That said, most people outside this industry don't understand domaining. And there's even a fair amount of stigma and prejudice attached to domaining. Domain resellers are sometimes viewed as illegitimate, exploitative...- Points: 6

What's going on with Epik and Rob Monster?
Thanks @MapleDots. When I resigned, it was a private decision that I only discussed after the fact with a few industry colleagues whom I trust. Since 1 of my goals was to prevent unnecessary damage to Epik, I mentioned my resignation here at NamePros in such a way that it would be timestamped...- Points: 5

What's going on with Epik and Rob Monster?
A domain registrar's responsibility to censor the web (or not to do so) is a complex issue. I'm not going to dumb it down in a Tweet or a slogan or a haiku. Nobody needs to read what I write nor agree with me. But people who aren't interested in reading a few pages on this topic aren't...- Points: 5

What's going on with Epik and Rob Monster?
No, I was not implying any distinction. Only using parallelism as a rhetorical technique. You can see several sentences in a row with the same form. I added the adjective "violent" for the sake of varying the prose. Any conquest of another country tends to be violent, whether I add the...- Points: 5

Rob posted this? I had not seen that. Where did it appear? Twitter? Monitoring Rob's personal political views as expressed on Twitter or anywhere else has never been part of my job description.

Epik terms of service are in the footer of our home page. The contracts do need an update, and revising them is an ongoing project. You'll see that the TOS allow Epik to act in a variety of cases, though the decision to act remains Epik's option. Generally speaking, Epik's stated position is...- Points: 5

Tips for preventing domain theft
During my time at Epik (as Director of Operations and as a domainer customer), I've only seen 1 case of domain theft. Fortunately, we were able to reverse the transfer quickly. A few points: Rob (CEO) and I both got involved immediately to reverse the transfer. This helped convince our...- Points: 5
