Geo FUTR? Footer? Future?
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 […]

Update: IISP.HK have now removed the stolen DomainGang content, per our request. IISP.HK is an ICANN accredited registrar in Hong Kong, China. Under their News category, they regularly copied and posted blog articles of other domain bloggers, including two dozen articles from DomainGang and others from Domain News Wire.

Copyright © 2025 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.Domain names, Olympic tweets and chicks with toned bodies
You might not be able to read this editorial, because for the past 20+ hours, DomainGang is being hammered by thousands of visitors. Our article about Voula Papachristou – the Greek triple-jumper with the toned body and nice glutes – went viral; thousands of Olympic ogling males are looking for pictures of the banned athlete. […]
Copyright © 2025 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 © 2025 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 © 2025 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 […]
Copyright © 2025 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.Silly Chinese hacker obsessed with numbers
The Chinese obsess with numbers, and that’s a well-known fact. Anything from “123” to “888” has a special meaning to the Asian nation of 1.3 billion. This all turns to silliness, however, when a wannabe hacker from China attempted to log into our server: IP: 125.76.206.81 (CN/China/81.206.76.125.broad.xa.sn.dynamic.163data.com.cn) Failures: 1 (ftpd) Blocked: Yes […]
Copyright © 2025 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.Sorry that we touched some sensitive chords!
It seems that we touched some sensitive chords with yesterday’s revelation that Chinese domain repository, 4.cn is actively engaging in the fine art of trademark violations. Its understandable that one has to be supportive of their sponsors and all that good stuff, but to be referred to as “scandalous” and even “offending” is simply hilarious. […]
Copyright © 2025 DomainGang.com · All Rights Reserved.Who is best suited for ICANN CEO?
On Friday, ICANN will reveal its new CEO that will take over the much-coveted (and often despised) spot from outgoing CEO, Rod Beckstrom. There are plenty of technocrats fit for the job, but who would be the best match for the job? Bill Gates? Mark Zuckerberg? Arianna Huffington? Someone else? With unemployment still high in […]

How we cut down on the comment spam
Posted by DomainGang on June 25, 2012, at 8:57 pm
The relentless amount of comment spam that we received at DomainGang reached an all-time high of 5,541 comments in January 2012. That’s what Akismet filtered out, and yet a lot of spam commentary made it through to the comment queue for us to wade through. After installing a single plug in that requires the copy/pasting […]
