what's with your posts? Seriously..... does Namepros have a founder?

 

[Peter]

hmm are you sure?

I was under the impression -RJ- bought it when it was a much smaller site

 

[Epic]

Hmm I thought he made it....

Hopefully we can get a staff member to tell us

I am pretty sure that RJ founded NamePros and then purchased Web Design Talk later... here this might help http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namepros

:D

Heh, I set up that Wiki, glad some members were able to contribute to it.

INSTANT PUBLISHER, PRO. That's the name of it.

August 2003: http://web.archive.org/web/20030803223104/http://namepros.com/

Already popular, older design. Pretty cool though.

Now NamePros is a prosperous Internet commerce and website development community. Definately cool.

I've been here for years and RJ has always owned it, from what I've believed

 

[smub]

RJ made a great a move by founding this community and i m pretty sure in 5 years from now this community will worth alot but i dont think RJ will sell it

 

[drifta]

didnt rj buy this site from someone when it only had a few members and then did his thing? im sure!

 

[user-7256]

yeah he did... NamePros could become quite the monopoly with a little bit of strategy Next target? TheAdminZone :D

The OP was last logged in to NP in 2009..... me thinks he probably isn't that interesting in knowing now

RJ sold it when it was a smaller site, and another forum was the more popular site at the time. It is a tale of two cities in regards to reversal of fortunes. He would have sold it back then probably because it was alot of work to manage, it is worth considerably more today, but that is in part thanks to all of you.

Without members a forum isn't worth much, you create the contact, and bring in the ad $.
