A few days ago I posted that the seven year old domainer forum DomainState.com was for sale. I also mentioned that I placed a bid on the forum. Well, I just received the following email from the owner’s of DomainState in response not only to my offer, but all offers. To sum up what you are about to read, DomainState will hold a private auction on their forum Wednesday, January 13th at 12pm EST and end 48 hours later. Bidding will begin at $10,000 with bidding increments of $500.
My previous starting offer was $5,000 and yes, I registered to bid.

The WhyPark Charity domain auction closed a few weeks ago, selling a total of 28 domain names for $3,593. The complete list of domain names and selling prices can be seen at whypark.com/auction.cfm.
I’m reporting this now because the bidder who had the highest single sale, $775 for EquityFirm.com, got to select the charity where the funds are to be donated and has selected the charity Make-A-Wish Foundation.
After reading WhyPark’s blog, it seems to me Craig Rowe has gone above and beyond. Not only did Craig donate the domain names which accounted for $2,441 in sales, but he also nearly matched the total raised in order to give the Make-A-Wish Foundation $7,200.
This directly from WhyPark’s blog:
“The average cost to make a child’s wish a reality is over $6,000. In order to be able to sponsor a full wish, we’ve doubled the $3,593 raised through the auction and are pleased to submit a total donation of $7,200″.
Thank you to Craig Rowe of WhyPark and everyone in the industry that pulled together to make a child’s wish come true.

Boss of the DomainGang family Lucius “Guns” Fabrice is calling it quits after receiving hundreds of threatening emails. His recent run in with the Boss of the DNForum family, Adam Dicker, has proved to be too much for him. Lucius has been quoted as saying “I was just trying to have fun and didn’t mean for anyone to get hurt.”
DomainGang is notoriously known for:
HA HA HA 
All of that above is just a joke. This is the same satire that DomainGang.com dishes out every day. What is really funny to me is the fact that some people actually take the website seriously. They read the headline without reading the article and have no idea it is all made up.
DomainGang.com even has a disclaimer for all of its readers.
“The intent of DomainGang.com is to provide entertainment via the public release of content related to the domaining industry or other social aspects of life. We are not to be held responsible for any damage caused by your use of the satiric content.“.
I like DomainGang.com. It’s fun to see what made up stuff Theo is writing about. Plus, I have to. I’ve found my name in there several times, lol.
For those of you that don’t know, the man behind DomainGang.com is Theo Develegas of Acroplex.com (Web Design) and Acro.net (Blog).
So go check out DomainGang.com, take nothing seriously and walk away with a good laugh.
