1.29 (»). Do not advertise, publicize, or promote external domain-related forums or communities on NamePros. The only exception to this rule is local events and meetups that are in person (face to face).
The owners name is George Verdugo and Kevin Faler and the Tech guy is Mark (I don't know his last name).
In another venture, Verdugo teamed up with Kevin Faler last year to buy the oldest domain name forum online - DNF. "DNF is a long term project of mine I am serious about building back the traffic as well as the reputation of DNF," George said. "DNF is where most in the industry first learned about domains. The future of DNF will be based on domains and crypto currencies. We plan on spending money to advertise the forum in 2018 to bring in retail buyers and sellers. We are also happy to entertain any ideas or partnerships that can help us grow the forum. I look forward to a great 2018 for DNF."
They're selling the domain AND the personal info on its members LOL. wat scum: "is currently for sale along with it's database of 535,000 Domainers. "
Why not ? It is a business, so it can be resold along with the corporate assets.They're selling the domain AND the personal info on its members LOL. wat scum: "is currently for sale along with it's database of 535,000 Domainers. "

,My last deal done there was for 17,500 in aug/sept 2015. Like 5 messages , into escrow, buyer had prepaid balance in escrow, paid and closed in an hour.
I saw many heavy hitters come do quick 4-5 figure deals there, lots of good deals to be had if you had cash on hand for quick purchases.
I once claimed BIN on a $10K thread, and someone PM’ed me and offered me $2500 just for that right to claim that BIN, classy members for sure..
The trust factor there was huge, you knew that if something shady went down, and the community found out about it, that person was going to have to deal with it if they wanted to continue to do businesnin this industry, a sort of self check.,
+1
those type of deals and some of that trust among members, was the biggest loss to the community, as a whole.
as you expressed, I too benefitted, not only from sales and purchases, but also from the knowledge acquired, acquaintances' made and friendships established, all while gaining respectability among and from my peers.
sure, some of that can, and has been made here,
but what it was, will always be the hurdle, for whatever it could be in the future.
imo....
Ok this is probably totally off math lol:
535,000 Domainers
Minus junk/bot/spammy accounts. And minus people you wont make a nickel off of.
53,500
Times a dollar per
Worth 50k
(as stated prob totally off)
It could be rolled into this one, but the question is, how many people that were active have already abandoned it?
I was a mod, blocked, and have not posted regularly for years, so I am not sure what you would value the site, honestly. The name might still get some traffic, as it is generic, but anything past that...I don't know but I wasn't on there for years if that tells ya anything.
