It wasn't spammy at all... we just posted when a big domain sale or trend hit the news.... but lots of behind-the-scenes emails and deals generated from meeting in that thread... not just from me... from many others. lots of good business contacts in the adult industry. adult webmasters and many domainers... lots of cross-pollination...

oh well, guess the message is loud & clear... someone doesn't want it here.

maybe I'll ask Lensman why they closed it. :)

.

i think huge threads screw the board db up thats why they get closed

maybe threads can only get to a certain size before causing problems so they close them :2 cents:

yeah, then it would've been nice to let us know. lots of people have that thread bookmarked.

but it was a damn good thread, no?

In terms of page views, since the beginning of GFY:
http://www.gfy.com/forumdisplay.php?...c&daysprune=-1

it ranks in the top 20 at #18, but if you weed out the contest threads, Paris Hilton sidekick threads, and Would you hit it... it ranks in the top 10 at around #7.

Damn. If the MODS killed it because they thought it was a sales thread, then please bring it back and re-title it to:

Recently SOLD Domains. Please add. :thumbsup
instead of what it reads now:
Recent Domain Sales. please add.

Basically I shut down that thread because it's been made very clear to me, not to allow threads to be endlessly bumped. That thread has been going on since August 2004.

Letting a thread go on endlessly does tend to create problems with vBulletin, and right now it's a problem that wasn't needed. The board is still taking quite a hit from "BaiDu", over 1M (1,007,333) page requests in the last 36-hours, and that's been keeping me busy enough.

I don't have a problem with a monthly "domain thread", but I don't see the value of keeping it going forever in one thread.

:1orglaugh

:(

ok. thanks for the explanation. but the thread was not being BUMPED for the sake of being BUMPED... relevant content was being added. And the reason why it was in "one" thread was because the info was cohesive and people had it bookmarked, not just via vbulletin, but hard bookmarks... there in lies the value.

The fact that it went on since August 2004 is testament to its strength and longevity. It was a business thread... and I for one am sad to see it killed off... not just because I started it, but for more important reasons.

Your board, your decision. But thanks for the explanation.
If you decide to resurrect it, let me know.

I can guarantee I wasn't the only one who helped generate 30,000 page views for your board. The thread will be missed.

anyone who enjoyed that thread and would like to see it again, email me. I'll just start up my personal blog and/or launch DomainNews.com - I'll make sure to update them several times a day. and don't worry MODS, neither one is a board... I'm not stupid enough to promote a board on GFY.

if anyone wants to help be a contributor or reporter, email me:

dev^(AT)^DomainNews^(.)^com

Laugh all you want, shouldn't you be busy protecting your "friend" NOFX's rep? Have you helped him dig his grave deeper today? doesn't matter if he ever gets banned from GFY or not, enough webmasters have blacklisted him & his sponsors because of, in his own words, "obvious" & "tasteless jokes". :upsidedow Your weak insults lacked any punch last time, go spend more time working on trying to be clever... moron. :1orglaugh

You're so craving for my dick it's sad.

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. :1orglaugh

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. :thumbsup

:1orglaugh :thumbsup

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 :1orglaugh - 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.

:thumbsup

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. :disgust

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? :error

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 :thumbsup

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. :disgust :1orglaugh

.

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? :1orglaugh

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

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