Drunk domaining: It’s an art

Posted by DomainGang on October 28, 2011, at 9:30 pm

A demotivational poster about drunk domaining. Because it’s cool to consume large amounts of alcohol and spend your money on exotic TLDs.

Duh! A very silly email disclaimer

Posted by DomainGang on October 28, 2011, at 10:55 am

Disclaimers placed at the footer of emails are meant to convey a specific message, usually about a company’s policies on privacy.
