SnapNames Discussion

[HeyNow]

Published results from Snapnames? You must be joking. sounds like a farce to me. Considering Snapnames has a history of shill-bidding within its tent, and DNJournal.com IMHO has never called into question the credibility of Snapnames, in fact, rather DnJournal.com refers to Snapnames as "reputable."

I'm trying not to spew my soda out of my nose from bursts of laughter.

Nice, I was just expecting a simple link to the latest auction report from DNJ. Better to start a new thread if you want to continue with the bid shelling controversy. Would attract more eyes to it.

The "simple link" you were expecting is the first post in this thread. You could have stopped there if the "simple link" was truly all you were interested in.

The Laughable: DNJournal Calls Snapnames Reputable

So the "Duke" posts his usual thread that does nothing for NP but promotes his own personal agenda and site.

Note that I use the term "thread" loosely because apparently we're not allowed to actually make it a "thread".

In response to the post someone (HeyNow) questions the contents and assumptions of this linked site. Comments ensue - several legitimate comments about the total B$ that is claiming the integrity of Snapnames... some back and forth on whether it's necessary or not to continue to point out that SnapNames has a sleazy reputation, that Adam DICKer bid on names at GoDaddy, that Name.com steals names from the clutches of free auctions and keeps them behind privacy.. etc etc...Oh, and GoDaddy, who had one of it's executives bidding on the marketplace (though nothing bad happened). I could also included Moniker who had someone access privacy information but that was a separate issue.

And then...

The thread is closed. I don't really have a problem with that. But why are all the posts deleted?
The suggestion? Start a new thread? Well it would have been easier to start with the existing discussion.

But here's the new Thread created for HeyNow because apparently we can't discuss the merits of DNJournal and its assumptions in a thread started by DNJournal in the Discussion section of a forum. I guess we've identified the new bad ass mod of NP, lol.

At least we don't upset Duke if we keep it here. Wouldn't want anyone to question him - I mean he's an icon. What's next? Anything bad said about Frank gets deleted(Oh yeah, we already used to do that)... maybe we should have a list of people who we can't talk bad about. I'm not sure which person caused the thread to be closed so I'll start with a list of who it could be:

Adam DICKer
Franky Schilling
The Duke of DNJournal

Anyone else I forget to mention? :great: At least I have a baselinen for the rules now.:bah:

So basically here's the subject.

DNJournal posts "Sales" information for people to use for INFORMATIONAL / EDUCATIONAL purposes only. They include numbers from such reputable sites as Snapnames (who had Shill bidding, a class action suit, legal issues related to said shill bidding in its history) with very little transparency in its current form, Namejet (who have other similar transparency issues) and Sedo. Hardly reputable.

None of this actually means anything about DNJournal (he reports what he reports - even if his logic is confoundingly stupid on some issues - Premium regges for example) other than the fact that he claims his source are REPUTABLE and not LAUGHABLY UNRELIABLE.

That's all.

Enjoy your time here, or you could go here where generally everyone agrees that SnapNames is not reputable.

Couldn't all those posts be moved to a new thread, such as this one?

If the new Dnjournal thread every week is just an announcement that the weekly sales list has been published, maybe it would make sense to just have it be one thread that gets updated when publication happens? And make it clear we can't add to the thread?

Exchanging info and assessing reliability of players in the domain field is part of what a forum is about. If info keeps disappearing you could wonder if a forum is reliable or if opinions are being manipulated.

DNJournal only report sales that they can verify - including ones by individuals - and they make that clear, so they may not need to comment on the reputation of their sources, just make clear that the sale was documented and verifiable. Verifiable could replace reputable in the DNJournal wording.

snapnames

Wowee! "Chart honors" were bestowed on Snapnames for docusnap.com $11,250.

I wonder if and how many shill bids it took to pump the sales price up to $11,250?

Remember, Snapnames is the largest admitted auction fraudster in domain history, blaming one lone employee (Nelson Brady) for fraud on a massive scale over a period of years. Brady was never prosecuted (as far as I know as of this date, and I check everywhere I can).

DnJounal.com was reporting Snapnames' sales results during that fraudulent period, and continues to this day!

Obvious to me is the fact that DnJournal.com gives not-a-hoot about you, me, or its readership and prefers to glad-hand with sleazy individuals and entities rather than give you and I warning about a player's document, fraudulent history.

Enough said, until the next time bullsh-t from domain "news" sources is reported as "reputable."

What a joke.
