This story starts with DNF; a barren wasteland that once was a leading forum within the domain industry. While the forum itself played a huge role in propagating the myth that is Adam Dicker, the story really begins with DNF College in the summer of 2011.

Updates / Reports
These are in no particular order.

From what I understand, Adam still owes north of $33,000 to previous customers and business partners. As I receive more information, I will update this figure.

@equity78 Raymond, you worked for Adam earlier as well?

I guess someone pointed this out and I forgot to ask about it earlier.

I'm lost, I was telling you that you said the last awards "
These awards were created by someone who runs a private by invitation only domain forum that recently kicked out our very own Domain Shane for voicing his opinion about something that she didn't agree with. No wonder his name wasn't on the roster for "Blogger of the Year" ,but Giuseppe Graziano's was? I think I read one blog post about numbers from him. Not knocking him but he has only written 9 blog posts ever ,but Shane writes one every single day. I'm not best friends with Domain Shane and we've had our differences but come on.

2015 Blogger of the Year choices

Andrew Alleman
Elliot Silver
Giuseppe Graziano
Michael Berkens
Michael Cyger"

You said this was Donna it was not, Shane was not on the ballot because he was not nominated. These awards are from The Domain Conference last month. Run by Howard Neu.

There is also the Domainers Choice Awards run by Donna who owns DBR.

The Domain Conference is run by Howard Neu who used to work with Rick on T.R.A.F.F.I.C.

The awards had a nomination round, then a second round because there were so many nominees and then paired down. The votes were handled by Escrow.com. DCA uses Votenet.

They have nothing to do with one another, Donna is not affiliated with The Domain Conference.
Thanks for clarifying. You would think such a tiny industry would only have one set of awards. So I guess there is also 2 different Domainer Hall of Fames? I guess the original TRAFFIC Hall of Fame is now closed since TRAFFIC doesn't exist anymore and now there is a new Hall Of Fame under The Domain Conference. I suppose there will be also a new Hall of Fame for Namescon. Actually I think Namescon and The Domain Conference are the same people. I don't know but I'm still confused. Off topic so no need to reply.

So when people talk about awards, it is based off the community voting, Rick did not hand out awards, Howard did not and Donna does not.

People get nominated, anyone who wants to take the time can nominate someone. That is the first round, no conference picks the nominees they are selected by the community, then the ballots are made with all the nominees and people vote.

Obviously the last awards were crazy Rick sold a name for over $8 million and was not picked, or Mike Berkens who sold 345.com for $800,000. So the last awards were screwy. Ali Zandi won Domain investor of the year vs Elliot Silver only two to choose from.

Every year there are 5 gold standards that if not on a ballot it must be cray cray time IMO.

Frank Schilling
Mike Mann
Mike Berkens
Andrew Rosener
Rick Schwartz

Those guys put up numbers every year, and turn down big numbers, Rick turned down $7.5 million for Porno.com, How many people have the grapes to do that ?

@hookbox No TheDomainConference is Howard Neu - NamesCon is Richard Lau - Jothan Frakes

And I clarified that, I wrote posts for Adam on The Art of the name as an independent contractor same as I do on Namepros, MorganLinton.com, DotWhatever.com and DomainCrunch.com.

And as I have spoken to @Eric Lyon we are working on a Namepros award show and Hall of Fame.

Yes The Domain Conference Hall of Fame is not the T.R.A.F.F.I.C. Hall of Fame from what I have been told.

If you were neutral you wouldn't be trying to intentionally deflect debate away from my question, which is..... how did dnf gain 125,000 new members in one day?

That's because I value facts and consider participating for the benefit and well-being of the community OVERALL, not to create OR be a part of any propaganda.

FACT: dnf gained 125000 new members in one day in May

QUESTION: Why is that?

REASON: I feel that it is of benefit to the members of this domain name forum, the largest on the net, to know whether the owner of the second largest domain name forum (or so it is claimed) can be trusted. It may help them decide whether they should continue to use it, or sign up to use it in the future.

Absolutely.
As far as my understanding goes about that 125000 member addition in a day, the email address were probably just IMPORTED from some text file and those newbies would have been spammed to death to take a $899 / $299 domain learning / website making course.

I own a forum and can get a free plugin which allows me to change my member statistics to whatever number I choose, and that seems to be the most logical explanation right now.

The 'propaganda' part that I kept pointing out was the abusive and insulting theme of the blog post. Not that it matters to you, but in corporate world; IN GENERAL, it means a lot how person acts, reacts, writers, presents things.

The content of the blog post has proven fruitful and I am happy for it. But using such negative tone isn't something someone would consider mature'ish.

Get the picture Einstein!

48 out of your total of 72 messages have been about this 1 post. It's fairly obvious Adam is very important to you so I don't think you will ever have an unbiased and open-minded opinion about this subject.

It was only propaganda until it was proven accurate.

Good to see you can count, but have you bothered to read any of my posts? I accepted in many occasions that Adam did commit many wrong things, but the thing I still don't find fit is the way he was mentioned in the blog post.

And amigo, I am not the only one here pointing this out, that is, if you have read the thread carefully. You'll find many comments of fellow members here against the abusive wordings used in the blog post.

Not sure why it's hard for some to put 2 and 2 together.

I would absolutely love to have employees as LOYAL as you.
Making you see a valid point is like trying to play music to cattle hoping that it will make them dance.
I am done with you, absoultely !!

I'm wondering whether he is the only real person on the 'Adam Dicker Team' page.

For the moment, that seems to be the Rick Wedzinga one.. :)

Yeah, it normally happens when people think one-sided and value their own ideology with biased thinking. Not to worry as there are many businessmen out there like you who would put facts based on their own understanding.

I am here, my posts are here, judge me how ever you please, like I care.

And if he isn't..... then perhaps he has applied for one of the two vacancies.
