DomainGang goes private
After yesterday’s shocking initiative by Tia Wood to take her blog private (sort of), we decided that the right time has arrived to follow suit. After three full and joyful years as an open feed for all domain investors to peruse and benefit from, it’s about time to make some changes around here, mmmkay? DomainGang [...]
Copyright © 2013 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.All good things must come to an end…
Every rose has its thorn, as the song says, and all good things eventually come to an end. It’s with sadness that I must announce the ending of an era. While some of you might be jovial and overcome with jubilation, others will find this decision unacceptable and selfish. No matter where you stand with [...]

Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana. That’s what Groucho Marx said, and indeed, it’s been a while since our last editorial. So we received that press release about GeoFUTR as well, and decided not to post it. Why? First off, when a press release is dated four days prior to today’s [...]

Copyright © 2013 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.Bigger, longer and uncut
Saturday…time for another DomainGang editorial. It’s been 13 years since the South Park movie Bigger, Longer and Uncut. Great humor right there, and some of the whackiest jokes of the popular animated series. That been said, humor is an acquired taste, and there are so many subtle varieties of it; it’s hard for everyone to [...]
Copyright © 2013 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.Meat shop: Top DomainGang comment about the Digg sale
Last night we posted the news about Digg being sold – for $500,000 according to Wall Street Journal. Many commentators wondered, how would this be possible, it can’t be true. Sometimes, truth is so absurd that even when it hits us on the head, we deny it. The fact remains that Betaworks bought Digg.com (the [...]
Copyright © 2013 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.Operation X: HOT Dog gets 6,000+ plays from DomainGang
Time for a quick editorial! After perusing some traffic stats, it seems that one of the funny promotional videos produced by the ICM Registry has been linked to from us more than 18,000 times on Vimeo, with more than 6,000 plays from DomainGang! All these links are due to adult content searches from apparently horny [...]
Copyright © 2013 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.My Mom is not a Domainer
My Mom is not a domainer. She cannot even program the VCR. She doesn’t have an email address and ‘Google’ sounds like a ‘ghoul’ to her. Being a septuagenarian, my Mom is dependent on others, despite her persistence with things. When people age, there is no magic substitute to do the work one used to [...]

Francois of Domaining.com endured 48 hours of downtime hell, thanks to the laggard support of his web host, Pier1. While the readers of domain blogs used alternate methods to keep up, it’s always good to summarize things; that’s what Domaining.com does as a domain news aggregator. Here’s a quick list that links to our posts [...]
Copyright © 2013 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.So whom did we piss off yesterday?
Apparently, someone got rather pissed off at DomainGang, after yesterday’s posts and launched a DDoS attack on the server earlier today. Fortunately, our hosting provider responded quickly and shielded off the attackers in well under an hour. Still, we are perplexed about who was the perpetrator: The Nigerian 419 scammers? They are too simple-minded for [...]
