I wanted 50!

You've been talking about dick for days now. Every insult... dick this, dick that... get some fucking new material or grow up. To me, you didn't exist until yesterday, and you won't exist tomorrow. Pathetic loser.

.

that was my first fifty in weeks, i got excited

you can poke Kyle with a stick, it is kind of fun

I know, woj has been slipping lately... or maybe sleeping.

he should change his tag from <(©¿©)> to <(-¿-)>

j/k woj. sorry.

can't believe I just apologized to a bot.

God damn it people, I fucking quit. Not that you care, hell you closed one of the only relevant threads on this entire board. Back to the "Headless needs 10 listeners for his pos radio show so he can sell some $5 ads" threads. Have fun everyone, I'm out.

Taboo, you should really create a one page active "thread" on your servers.
It would get way more book markers and content added. Simplicity goes a long way.

Bingo.

I laughed dude....i am tired though

I checked that thread regularly for both historical and current domain prices, to assess the value of my own domains and ones I'm considering buying.

I'm not one to complain, it's not my board, but that thread had value beyond frequent bumpage. At least for me as a noob domainer.

BTW TexasDreams, since GFY is "cleaning things up".
Please handle those klickrevenue postbot guys.

That'd be the only good reason I could possibly see

Well, as you fellow domainers know, there's so much data out there to compile, analyze and discuss... and since our thread is gone, I setup a very barebones site at http://www.DomainNews.com -unfortunately, it's very one-way now, not a BOARD, more of a low-key blog. But since I already collect lots of data I need to pour it into somewhere, so that'll be it's home from now on... this way no one will close the door on a valuable resource. check it out and send me emails if you have data to share, Qs, As, etc... I already emailed a few buddies and associates who have always wanted to help me turn DomainNews.com into a REAL news source, so from humble beginnings... let's see where it takes us. Most of the domainers I know are always awake digging thru drop lists, mining whois, or just plain buzzed and registering crazy domains that we all regret the next day, like my EatYAK.com or Halcyon & Tassy's GreasedFist.com - so i'll be posting to the news page very irregularly when it comes to time of day, but regularly when it comes to frequency. Already got a few interviews lined up with some key players in the industry, some of them hate me, some of them like me, but they all want to promote their own agenda and I'll let them use DomainNews.com to do so. Plus, I've got some great adventures to share... as do most of you.



I still love GFY though.

I am watching that situation closely. I feel that "outsourced" posting is in violation of GFY rule 6, especially if it is ONLY for spamming sig views.

Give some people a little power and they turn into retards.

From the TexasDreams explanation, he's a bit clueless if you ask me.

Yeah, we have all been watching their shit for 4 months. Over 20,000 useless posts between all those guys and you decide to kill one of the best business threads here.
Multiple threads have been raised about it(klik) and this is the first time I believe a Mod has even responded.

Killing good stuff on the board but letting these twats fly?

Anyway, have a swell day I know modding this place can be a turd

Shame. Was a thread that actually was worth reading. Not many of them around these days. Taboo, please start another!

The only really worthwhile thread and it gets closed - unfortunately to help in the board software????? Unless its being deleted from the database it sure doesnt seem to make a difference one way or another
More importantly - most of the "bumps" were useful information - not sig spots so I guess I understand the mods closing it

Damn shame

GFY is going to shit

Lots of love and support

http://DomainNews.com has been updated.
new sales to report from SEDO & AFTERNIC...

Plus, love is in the air... if you've got any cupid names, check out my news site.

.

I thought it was a great thread.

don't worry it lives on at http://www.DomainNews.com

but it's just a shadow of it's former self.

.

Actually, the thread was taking forever to load for me--good thing they shut it down.

Just start that new one Taboo

That board has like 10 users.
8 of which are your fake nicks. Dont spam GFY with other boards.

are you kidding me? LOL. It loaded so quickly, but I'm using dial-up, what are you using?

and no need for a new one, http://DomainNews.com is it's new home. but thanks for your support.

I agree it was a good business thread (which in itself is refreshing around here), TD you really should reopen the original!

nah, there's no need now, especially with my "new & improved" posting schedule on http://DomainNews.com. I post much more now than I did before, because I didn't want to get accused of bumping too much.. hard to believe, huh? Check out the site/blog, it already has plenty of updates within last 48 hours since my thread was closed... I actually have TexasDreams to thank for giving me the final push to launch the site. TexasDreams was right, only a small handful of GFYers actually read the thread, some people thought it was a place to list domains FOR SALE, instead of understanding it's true purpose. HELL, if Lensman & TaxesDreams had let me continue on my path, that thread would be become the longest and most viewed thread in GFY history (business-related). Guys, keep in mind, it lasted over a YEAR. LOL.

check out my new site for yourself: http://DomainNews.com - perfect domain, no? it's a very simple, crisp layout... no bells or whistles... and of course there's no board... I'm not a damn fool.

and Vicki, thanks for your support... I really mean it. Check out my site and email me if you think I should add any features. I like hearing from readers and incorporating their ideas.

.

It was one of the few threads that I continually come back to, even years later, to look at the recent postings. The way it stayed relevent was amazing, especially for GFY, and a valuable tool for all domain enthusiasts. You will be missed, thread, you will be missed

-Phil

i'd concur - getting rid of those klikrevenue whores would be much more appreciated than anything else. reed_4, PiXels, je_rome and i swear there were more...

but don't talk about me like I'm dead or something. LOL. I've got plenty of people already agreeing to send me reports to add to the new site. We plan to stay "relevant" and if you thought a year was long... wait'll see how long i keep this one going
