Dnoa

Hello,

Does anybody know when DNOA will be back up again as i'm really interested in becoming a member of it.

It says it's going to be up today but it's closing in to the end of the day now and still nothing.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Lewis.

Well, I think it used to be $6.95, but I was unable to sign up for many months.

When DNOA first opened there was a special rate which founding members paid for.

The fee paid are for the organisation to cover it's costs such as web hosting, domain name etc. I think I am correct in saying that the rest stays in the funds for DNOA to pay for any activity it undertakes.

I personally was not present when the final prices were agreed upon.

I dont have a problem with the $20 fee, and consider it very fair, considering the cost of a dot com domain is approximately $7 dollars. This is the equivalent of about 3 domains.... a small fee to belong to an organization, who will feel a much needed roll. If your unhappy with these "dues" take a look at what other professionals pay to belong to associations in their industries. I think you'll find $20 to be very reasonable.

Yep, $20 is no stretch for anyone half-serious about domaining.

I just paid mine today, & I await confirmation.

Cheers,
Dave

Well said.

Question for DNOA staff - Will we be up tomorrow (as we've not been activated today). Reason i'm asking so much is because I'm going away on Tuesday and would love to see what bnefits of being a DNOA member there are!

Agreed. I registered and paid yesterday and am very happy to support an organization which acts in my interest as a domainer and provides a level of confidence for any potential buyers.

20 bucks is less than a bad movie, bag of stale popcorn and a soft drink in most cities.

When I joined long ago I thought it was an annual membership. Yes or no?

I am eagerly awaiting the grand reopening.

Did I miss the announcement. I just logged in to the forum. :tu:

Yes it is a yearly fee.

The forum has been open for a while I did request someone to send a mailshot to all member but obviously that was never carried out.

I was hoping it would have been carried out over the weekend I will have to get onto someone about it.

[Peter]

cheers just corrected it now. That's what happens when you do not proof read (although I did do a spell check :>

 

[-LB-]

Tehe, I never noticed that when I signed up!

Any news on the activation? And also when you type an email address in the members lookup text box on the left navigation, it doesn't work for me when Indo a search...

//Edit: Nevermind, works now

 

[Peter]

Ahh yes you mean the profile search. I fixed that yesterday/ The person who designed the page did not make that work as part of the design so had to change it slightly.

Regarding the sign ups I am not 100% sure, I don't want to go ahead and authorize them as it is not really up to me at the moment. I was really hoping the current sign up requests would have been sorted but that obviously never happened. I am currently waiting for someone to get back to me but as of yet not had a response today (I think he was out of town meeting up with -RJ- and badger)

 

[-LB-]

Ah ok then fair enough.

It's been almost a week now though.

 

[Peter]

I understand what you mean. I am trying to contact someone but unfortunately i am not having much luck at the moment.

 

[3l3ctr1c]

Just completed everything, hope to receive the confirmation soon!

Note to everyone: You must have a verified paypal account to become a member of DNOA.

I just received the email saying so...and it's been a week since I signed up and it didn't say then...

 

[Peter]

Yes sorry that was my fault. I did not make a note on the sign up page.

We need this to be done to help verify who you are. I also look at the name to ensure it matches plus other things.

 

[-LB-]

Yeah no problem.

I've emailed you back anywho. :D

 

[Peter]

Hi Lewis all sorted.
