What's going on with Epik and Rob Monster?

[MapleDots]

I'm catching the tail end of this, seems to be some kind of controversy...

https://domaingang.com/domain-news/rob-monster-off-twitter-after-christchurch-massacre-controversy/

Must be something odd to evoke this type of a response from one of our members.

I happened to read a great review by Morgan Linton. I thought Morgan was really honest. GD has been a real letdown.

Im so happy Epik really cares about domain investors and steps up.

Nice to see a reliable registrar like Epik trying to serve the true needs of domain investors.

 

[DaveX]

This was so on point! Kudos Morgan Linton!

Its mad cos for those in the forum and domain industry at large, Epik and Rob are polarising opinions but I bet 95 percent of Epiks user base have never heard of Rob and simply use Epik because its a great registrar. That's all most people want.

 

[DaveX]

There are some pretty big domain investors that I respect very much speaking very highly of Epik.

Those are the people I listen carefully to. Very successful, smart people.

Lots of positivity in this thread on this sunny afternoon (for me at least). Let's all enjoy a sweet cold lemonade

Yes, what a change in weather. For me, today will be hotter than an Epik special offer!

I have been using Epik since late 2015 I believe but have been Godaddy customer for 17 years.

Hi @Silentptnr -- do you spam much?

Would your comments be more fitting for

I don't understand the barrage of seemingly off topic posts. Were you passively suggesting my posts are also off topic and I need to create a new thread?

Ye lilyliver'd lobotomized excuses for a liposuction;

+1 namedeck, ye well-rounded human
and grilled.. well, +1 because you are loyal to none, but loyal to all. Because we always need to question, especially when things get too comfortable.

What's going on with Epik and Monster? +1000, they've got the awesomeness going on. Always have, actually.

 

[DaveX]

I like what I'm seeing at Epik. Services are running pretty darn smoothly. Registering domains is easy, transferring great, escrow service great, liquidation platform working! Nice knowing Epik is there and growing!

LOL....unsilent, notsosilent, anythingbutsilent.....I've heard them all.

escrow service great

Other thread you were implying you've never actually used it.

Lots of beholden types in the thread.

@Grilled - not really paying much attention to it (extra busy this week), seems like usual stuff.

They enforced their TOS. Just like every other registrar out there. Nothing wrong with that. When GoDaddy enforced their TOS against GAB, somehow it was an issue. It was used for marketing purposes, free speech warrior nonsense for Epik. Now look at the replies to the tweets, getting clowned on. The statement released yesterday To Be A Patriot - For all our champions of free speech.

Well, up to the point of violating the law, and how is that different than any other registrar out there? These people, when they talk about free speech, they mean everything. If you want an everything type of free speech, just see what registrars/hosting they use when they get dropped. So in regards to that topic, I don't see how they're different from any other mainstream registrar/hosting out there.

I haven't used it yet. What I'm seeing and hearing is great!

100% agree with you JB in that respect.

 

[JB Lions]

100% agree with you JB in that respect.

Do you feel they should stop that kind of advertising then? Here are some of the replies under that tweet:

"...until we decide you aren't worthy of speech"

"You're not for free speech, so I don't care what you have to say. I'll never do business with you.

"Just not free speech huh? Not REAL free speech, only what we believe in, and have the guts to stand up for?"

"Oh look at all that free speech support! Anyone ever notice how EVERY SINGLE one of these "Muh free speech" platforms ALWAYS fail when confronted with the part of "free speech" where they have to allow speech they actually disagree with."

"Ah yes, once it's been proven you DON'T ACTUALLY STAND FOR FREE SPEECH, you fall back on the "Muh death threats" Nobody believes you, you hypocritical pieces of garbage. Once again proving that the right-wing SJWs like YOU are no different than regular SJWs. How pathetic."

"Oh boo hoo, media slapped you around without investigating to get the story right. Kind of like how you dropped hosting without investigating to get the facts straight. You're getting hate for a knee-jerk hypocritical reaction, not because you're right. Zero sympathy."

"Oh and look, they deleted the tweet from earlier to Josh wherein they said free speech has limits, because they're good little cucks Good thing the internet never forgets!"

"I hate xxxxxxxxx more than most but that doesn’t mean I think websites should be pulled because of it, hell let it happen so the users can ID and expose those scumbags. Most people on those sites despise those fuckers."

"The fearmongering regarding chan sites has gotten excessive. “Oh no they let people outside the Overton window communicate, how terrible!” has become far too common of a sentiment."

See what I'm saying? If you're going to use that angle to promote, some of the people that were engaged in the past, are going to want you to go all the way with it or you get this kind of stuff.

Yes, I do think it should stop. With the momentum they have going now, I would say let's shed any controversy and work on more growth.

People forget most everything. But it's hard to forget if there is still talk.

 

[JB Lions]

We agree on that one. I wouldn't use that angle anymore. Every time they do, they'll get what you see above. Move on from it.
