people should stop paying attention to him. image and perception is everything in this world, not only in domaining.

DomainSherpa was a fresh air into this industry, run by a guy that i do not know personally but seems to be a very nice person. However, it seems to me the show became victim of its success, starting to deviating to something like a soap opera or get rich schemes, promoting some to the guru level. I even wonder if Michael Cyger hasn't step down from the show because he felt to be compromised/too accomplice with the friend relationships he has built and felt that the show had lost its purpose and value.

Actually this kind of ridiculous, made up, false information is why people don't want to spend time and energy creating good content. Not any of the things you mention. I don't agree with Rosener that all of Namepros are trolls but you are a good example of what he is talking about

 

[rhakim]

Good news.

 

[Grilled]

but you are a good example of what he is talking about

I disagree.

I find @tonecas to be a unique asset to NamePros. Though I don't always, agree or understand all of his posts, I certainly respect their time and effort (ie 2,000+ posts) keeping the community informed and intrigrued.

But this thread is not about Tonecas. I just don't understand your comment towards his character.

I have spent a lot of time and energy researching.

If good content is what you want, then hold tight, I am busy fact checking when not disrupted [distracted] by nonsense.

But brace yourself, what you may see is kind of ridiculous, though not made up, nor false.

Maybe you missed the part where Tonecas said Michael Cyger seems to be a very nice person?

@Domain Shane i understand that you may not want to feed the troll, but where have I wrote the "kind of ridiculous, made up, false information"?

He meant what you said here:

It's odd that people feel the need to

a. speak for someone else.

and

b. speak for someone else that literally put adam dicker on a pedestal for YEARS and never apologized to his viewers or atoned for that fact in ANY WAY.

Maybe he's the nicest guy ever.

But in my book, nice guys take responsibility for their actions.

Any conspiracies, made up, or false information here?

If i ever mislead my viewers, I will look in the camera, like a (wo)/man, and say, "i'm sorry. I fucked up."

EDIT: maybe this is the time to announce...if i get an expedited passort before mid december, I am getting a crew and making a documentary about all of "this". Traveling to meet the involved parties. Possible (rough) screenings at Namescon. Planning to submit to festivals and netflix. All pending... but let's see what happens.

He meant what you said here:

and what is wrong with that? any accusation? any false information?

in the personal opinion side i think the show has lost its value over time. and lost it because of its success. it happens a lot, sorry.

he needed to keep placing content after the "juice", the core information and major players in the industry had said their part. and the solution was to place content like a reality show, with the same market "gurus" meritoriously giving their knowledge to the masses every day or week.

or simply staging shows with one of a time deals - that are interest to read, i agree - but leads to a lot of false sense in the industry that things are easier than it seems, leading a lot of newbies to the get rich dreams, which are always a good source of money to sell domains to, much like at the ends of bull markets in financial markets where the general public rushes to the market and listen to what the gurus have to say.

I repeat, Michael Cygar seems a good guy, for what I can tell just from his communication/expressions. I don't know in person, never done business with him, never saw or analyzed his investments. Simply seems a cheerful guy with a sincere smile and interest in the industry, almost naive, like most of us are when we find a thing that marvelous us when we first meet it.

now, for the personal opinion and speculative side, i wonder if he lost his spark, is ingenuity towards this business and saw its dark side. and it is very dark. and it is dark because people get too friendly and that leads to look the other way when bad deeds are done. and maybe that was one of the reasons to let go the show. simple and legitimate speculation.

now, the accusation part. this industry is rotten. it has always been shady but now it's rotten. and the friends protecting friends is the worst part.

so, @Domain Shane, i'm sorry if I hurt your feelings or your buddy's. that's life. deal with it.

at least I never had to sell myself or my image to do business, never needed to do shill bidding, never had to do a favor to make money in this business. so I have the right to say my part, more than most people that are just talking out of their arses. like you coming here firing your guns to someone who you don't even know just because you felt hurt from what I might have said.

Are you saying.... this?

Business is selling yourself and your image. If you never do favors to make money then I certainly don't want to ever do business with you. Business is about partnerships. I'm not talking reach around favors. I am talking "hey, can you give me the email of that guy that says he was buying debt names?" Collusion is illegal, partnerships aren't. You have done ZERO to prove to me you are anyone. I don't know your name, what you've accomplished, or what experience you have. You operate under an alias. You don't put your name to things for two reasons. One you have something to hide, two for safety reasons.

What I am saying that you know nothing about why Michael Cyger stopped doing the show. You have no idea about the transaction of turning the show of to Drew Rosener. So you give some far fetched story about what you think the reasons and the financials. I am not defending anyone. They can defend themselves. I have stated ZERO about Drew here. I am merely saying your random made up thoughts are way off base

As far as the show. I was well aware that things were getting boring. Especially since most of the domains turned in were terrible. The show would have evolved like all shows do. Now its Drew's turn to try and keep it informative and entertaining.

Again, not defending anyone, I came here merely to respond to you.
