question DomainGang.com ?

[Business Brands]

What is he thinking? Is he considering domain name investment community to be gangsters? Gangs are groups of criminals. He should awaken and rename his site. Do you consider yourself a gangster?

Still the fake news peddler running his cheeky greeky mouth.

Although DomainGang has about 20% parody news since inception, there are no parody posts about domain crime and domain theft.

In fact, I've coordinated the investigation and return of many stolen domains over the years, with the help of domain investors such as @TheLegendaryJP and the Moderators of this forum.

Once again, you're quite upset I noted your apparent acquisition of a "hot potato" domain. Instead of blaming me for your lack of research, maybe you could contribute to providing more info on the person you bought (?) this domain from.

I appreciate the feedback - good to reconnect. It's a brand I'm fond of and have no plans to rename it after almost 11 years.

Do you have a blog?

Triggered? Guy and his site are credible.

I like the brand. I think it's hip and relevant. Never thought much about it really. But...if you do decide to change names, which you shouldn't, here are a few available names that Welberch might approve of...

DomainSatire.com
DomainNewsroom.com
DomainSerious.com
DomainBoring.com
DomainBlah.com
DomainHating.com
DomainWelberch.com

You are calling domainers gangsters.

“gang” not “gangster”

Big difference. Me and “my gang”

@Acroplex, “gang” like my “entourage”? amirite?
Trolling; has to; keep up the great work, gangsta ; )

Had no idea who "Welberch" is until I realized it's Yakov from the early DNF/NPs era.

I hope you're doing well. I finally visited NYC last summer, I would have enjoyed having a drink - if you wanted to meet my gang of one.

To answer your question: Some brands are more "edgy" than others, or life would be boring, and after 10+ years of actively covering the domain industry via my publication I'd hope for a more accepting comment from an industry veteran.

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

On the other hand, are you aware that you're brokering a stolen domain, ASZ.com?

Hi

if Op is who you say he is, then a dot has been connected

and i too remember some gangster that went down from that era

i think domaingang represents well and has so, since.

and to help, years ago, i sold Theo the domain, dngang.com for only a couple of bucks.

imo....

DomainGang is a cool as hell name/brand. The way Theo uses it is confusing at times to people because some of his posts there are satire but once you figure that out, you will never forget that site's domain name.

I was bidding on DomainMafia which might even be more edgy. My sole reason was to do a 100% complete re-brand. Had a very close domainer friend talk me out of it during auction because I have a very good Brand name already but I still really like that name even with the edgy connotations.

Another friend, Claude Dauman has EdgyBranding as his Company Brand. I love that name. Makes you really want to go to that site to see what kind of Edgy Brand names he has there. Once you do, you will never forget that domain name either. I guarantee it.

 

[Acroplex]

Apples and oranges. I run an industry prominent blog for a decade plus, somehow Yakov whom I've "known" since 2003 opines on whether the word "gang" is appropriate. I guess the Wolf Gang dog treats store should change the name too.

Then comes Mr. Lambo lambasting me for pointing out that he bought (?) a stolen domain, and decides this is ripe turf to take on a personal attack.

After 20+ years in the domain industry and 17 on NPs I know how to tell scammers and opinions apart.

So now that you've been exposed as a buyer (?) of a domain that has been stolen, I hope you realize that defending your decision and covering up a thief has consequences.

A gang is a group of gangsters.

A Gang is a group of friends.....

"I've made friends at my new school, but I miss the old gang."
"I went out with the usual gang from college on Friday night."

 

[Acroplex]

Wikipedia:
A gang is a group or society of associates, friends or members of a family with a defined leadership and internal organization that identifies with or claims control over territory in a community and engages, either individually or collectively, in illegal, and possibly violent, behavior.

Tell that to the marketing geniuses at PRGang.com.

 

[jberryhill]

This was my favorite part of the show....

But I always had my suspicions about the sort of people that Kool was hanging around with.

 

[Acroplex]

I don't expect everyone to like what I do. Just don't expect me to change what I do. It's going to be 11 years of publishing DomainGang next month.

On the subject of stolen domains, I've covered numerous such cases on DomainGang.com. You'll find ASZ.com in the domain crime category. In that sense, Yakov is right.

Theo,

some people just have nothing to do.
It’s none of his business anyway.

 

[Business Brands]

I think the industry will be better off if you rename, especially given the number of posts that are being syndicated on domaining.com. Edgy is not always good. We'll meet one day for a drink for sure

 

[Business Brands]

DomainCrew.com for example.

 

[lambo.com]

It's better than DomainGangBang.com.

Or is it?

You could say that about TRAFFIC, those were the days.

Curious about ASZ.com though - are you brokering it?

Sounds interesting, do you have pics?

 

[Business Brands]

I am not a part of any gang.
In my opinion, you are doing damage to the industry.

 

[Acroplex]

I'd be more than happy to interview you on DomainGang, Yakov. Your .US portfolio is impressive.

Join the gang!
