About DG
Established in September 2009, DomainGang.com has managed to fill a void in the niche market of domaining, introducing a humorous and sometimes caustic twist to all things related to domains.
As a leading domain industry blog that combines “news and entertainment,” we carry a distinctive style that blends humor with factual reporting. Our parody news differs from our real news in several key ways.
Parody news often relies on exaggeration and absurdity.
We take real domain industry events or trends and stretch them to a comical or extreme degree. The goal is to entertain, highlight quirks in the industry, and spark laughter. These articles use a humorous tone throughout, with wit, irony, and sarcasm woven into the writing.
The scenarios we present in parody news are intentionally outlandish—think fictional conflicts between domain investors or ridiculous interpretations of domain regulations. Satire also allows us to embed social commentary. Through humor, we sometimes make subtle points about behaviors, policies, or patterns within the domain world.
While we often blend formats, we occasionally use cues to signal that an article is satirical, such as category labels or disclaimers, though readers should never rely on those alone.
On the other hand, our real news is fact-based and grounded in objective reporting.
These articles aim to deliver accurate information about events, trends, and developments in the domain industry. We focus on real company news, policy updates, and marketplace changes. The tone tends to be more serious and informative, though still engaging. Wherever possible, we support the content with sourced information and strive to ensure readers can rely on what’s presented. Real articles carry the “100%” True indicator at the end.
In practice, the line between parody and reality can blur—and that’s by design.
Even our factual stories might carry a playful edge or commentary. One example is our “Seven with Sedo” series, which covers actual domain names up for auction but does so with humor and opinions embedded in the descriptions.
To tell parody apart from real news, look for the hallmarks of satire: exaggerated characters or situations, absurd logic, heavy sarcasm, and a clearly humorous tone. If something sounds too dramatic or strange to be real, it probably is parody.
While we aim to entertain, we also report real industry news and we trust our readers to use common sense and context to know the difference. While not everyone understands what we do, the testimonials and feedback from important companies and individuals in the domain industry have been more than rewarding.
