How DID Lensman get the domain name, Adult.com??? - GoFuckYourself.com

pornstar2pac · 01-19-2005, 10:34 AM

I heard he won it in a thumb wresting tournament.

I could be wrong?

Manowar · 01-19-2005, 10:35 AM

He fought a bear in the jungle for it.

Thrawn$ · 01-19-2005, 10:35 AM

he hijacked the domain, before it was mine

pornstar2pac · 01-19-2005, 10:36 AM

Adult.com has to be worth at least $5million

right?

cold_ice · 01-19-2005, 10:37 AM

I think it was mud wrestling.

XpressMedia · 01-19-2005, 10:48 AM

Hell of a Investment.

Fake Nick · 01-19-2005, 10:50 AM

I don't want to do a search. I'll just stick to thinking it was thumb wresting

edgeprod · 01-19-2005, 10:52 AM

wish I had it, heh.

now that would be an investment, win a thumb wrestling match and get adult.com

Der Schleicher · 01-19-2005, 10:59 AM

I thought he bought it for 6 figures?

it depends if you are talking about type ins only or the whole branding possibility

i would just buy it for the type in traffic and have holidays till the end of my life, for lensman the branding was probably more important, although I am still not sure if it's worth to pay more than a million to brand an affiliate program with a good domain, i mean look at all the other programs, they have average names, but some of them are bigger than adult.com

Personally i think the best branding and promotion lensman gets nowadays for his programs comes from GFY...

again, just my 2 cents

yeah, I was thinking adult.com could make money on anything.

slavdogg · 01-19-2005, 11:25 AM

I sold Lensman that domain about 4 years ago.

groark · 01-19-2005, 11:27 AM

I have no idea but I never would have sold that domain

codymc12 · 01-19-2005, 11:52 AM

I knew the owner of adult.com - and he was happy with the deal he got. He had it for years, and held onto it until he got the right deal - good for him.

This is entirely subjective (domain value). While I don't know all the dollars and cents of the deal (confidentiality), I was at the former owner of adult.com's house a few days after he cut his deal with lensman - and he was definately not hurting about it. He'd been approached many times over the years regarding the sale of the domain, and this was the deal he finally took.

I'm sure he came out well, well ahead of his 35 dollar initial investment.

pornstar2pac · 01-19-2005, 12:26 PM

you think Lensman is going to sell soon?

It was kinda like thumb wrestling, only it wasn't "thumbs" they used...

Some might call "sword fighting"...

xclusive · 01-19-2005, 12:34 PM

Ok I admit it I sold it to him for 30 cents per post for life...I think I pulled one over on him

pxxx · 01-19-2005, 12:35 PM

He must had paid a lot of money to get that.

WankTank · 01-19-2005, 12:36 PM

very good domain. great investment

good for Lensman

boneprone · 01-19-2005, 01:01 PM

I remember the PRE-Adult.com Lensman..

He was pretty pumped up when he told me he bought the domain..

I remeber it wasnt even live yet and he was giving us all adult.com jackets!

Good times.

Maybe Lensman should buy the Kings basketball team and sign some real players up

I can verify Cody here. The original owner got a deal that he was comfortable with and he was and is not an idiot about biz at all. In fact, he is one of the most intelligent people I have run across in the adult industry.

I dont think it was for webmasters only. Ever since he bought it he had 2 options 1 for surfers and one entrance for webmasters.

Hey, Mr. L

Good to see you poke your head up here.

pornstar2pac · 01-19-2005, 03:57 PM

4 years ago was 2000. the market just crashed and domains started to lose value.

so I think Lens paid $175,000 for it
