		<description>I don&#039;t think the forum would be worth the money for someone just starting out with a domain forum.. Someone with a decent amount of relivent traffic and following like Chef here could probably get one off the ground without too much crazyness and expense from scratch... I&#039;d say an attractive name for the forum would be one of the most important things to think about at first.. People are already likely to join from the following, the name just makes it look more serious. I do however think that it would be worth acquiring for one of the larger forums like Adams as far as market share, reputation, backlinks, etc... In a case like this, your not only making a point, but your more likely to make the money back quicker as an established forum is already profitable and is likely to already have solid revenue streams in place.</description>

		<description>10K is not a lot to pay for a site with this much content. The site has not been spidered by google.  Once spidered DS traffic will increase 10 fold. Sound like a lot of these posts are coming from NP, DNF, DP which obviously want one competitor out of the picture. Go for your dreams and take this baby over. 

Good luck.</description>

		<description>Buying domainstate would be a waste of cash, maybe if someone is minted they could just redirect traffic to their own forum before it finally keels over and dies. there were only a number of cliquey members there and the admins, that was  the traffic. all members are members elsewhere anyway. just let it die naturally imho. Please visit Internetual.com , it&#039;s just opened. I think you&#039;ll agree the design and conscept is unique. I&#039;d be privileged if you&#039;d come on join, goes for you Patrick and everyone else who reads your blog. Getting started is hard on forums but i think is nice for domainers and webmasters to be new to a place and lay the foundations.
See you there i hope.</description>

		<description>Well, I decided not to participate in the coming auction of domainstate. Instead, I open up my own forum ... YetAnotherForum.com. If you guys have time, join me.

Cheers,

This is PokerPie from NP and DNF. Shoot me an email if you want to discuss strategy - I&#039;ll be bidding too. Maybe we can work together somehow.

		<description>@EM - I don&#039;t think re-branding is a good idea. It has a good name that people know.</description>

		<description>I might be bidding as well.

I would like to know if would be best to rename it from domainstate.com to multiforums.com if I ever win the auction? Basically rebranding the forums.

What do you think?</description>
