[davidc1]

Too many bugs and features needed for the moment imo...

 

[silentg]

Make Offer lander is launching soon and self brokerage is coming end of the year. So my guess is early next year.

I'd be scared to switch everything to Afternic in its current state. So many things are buggy.

That's why i am using Price Request lander at Afternic.

Even that has issues from what I'm reading in other threads, where brokers never get back to the people requesting prices, emails go to spam, etc.

One thing for sure is GD revenue will drop and so as the stock.

What will happen if Dan's staff silently create another version of Dan (and better) so they can launch after GD shut them down?

- Not taking feedback about Afternic Boost
- Not providing data to backup their claims about the Boost
- Them losing NameCheap / Spaceship for Fast Transfer

I'm not so sure about what you're saying about GoDaddy's share price, as activist shareholder Starboard Value actually wants profits to be used to buy back GDDY shares, which will reduce the number of shares in circulation and automatically increase the share price (c.p.).

The money used for this share buyback program -and this is a huge amount- cannot be used for improving the platform or providing better services to customers. We are noticing this all too well at the moment.

Since Starboard Value became actively involved in setting the future of the company, GoDaddy's share price has already risen considerably. After a good rally, Starboard has now reduced its holdings with 30%, and is now focusing on yet another company that they consider undervalued: Starbucks.

I’m getting so many less views on my domains when I listed them directly on AN vs going through Dan. Swapping them all back to Dan for the rest of the year.

It is better. .. but the customer service is pretty bad.

Hi @domainbidr
This is actually something that we talk about in a recent episode of the Domain Name Wire podcast. We're making progress with moving much of the technology from Dan.com to Afternic, and we'll share more on the next stages with the community later this year.

Sure...
A new bug for 3 days now. Impossible to delete domains per 500 whereas per 100 it works.

It MAY still happen....

Now there is the afternic penalty....

We're making progress with moving much of the technology from Dan.com to Afternic

But why? Why not simply use Dan instead? Wouldn't that be a lot easier -- and better?

Politics. Dan is European.

If that's all it is, they can just move their servers to the U.S.

Yes, integration of technology from superior platforms, general technical enhancements, bug elimination, and features like bulk search are all progressing smoothly, seamlessly, and rapidly as one would expect from GoDaddy.

No, I meant office politics and power struggles.

No, I meant office politics and power struggles.

But they own the company.
