Hank Alvarez denies responsibility for Moniker and Snapnames auction failure

Posted by DomainGang on June 8, 2011, at 2:09 pm

It seems that Hank Alvarez – known as halvarez in his days at Snapnames – is the numero uno scapegoat when it comes down to anything that fails in the domaining world! Earlier today, both Snapnames and Moniker were down, as reported by various sources; the downtime caused the postponing of the live Domainfest auction […]

First Moniker and Snapnames, now Gap effs up!

Posted by DomainGang on October 8, 2010, at 12:01 am

A few days ago we commented on the obvious debranding of domain industry giants, Moniker and SnapNames. By leaving their previous familiar logos behind, the Oversee.net companies apparently renounced their past and are looking forward to a more slender, less graphic-intensive future. Meanwhile, popular clothes line and store Gap has also changed its familiar, elegantly […]

Moniker and SnapNames debranded

Posted by DomainGang on October 1, 2010, at 12:24 pm

“Shock and horror” are words that can be used with regards to the latest debranding of major registrar and drop-catching/auction house, Moniker and SnapNames respectively. The newly redesigned child companies of Oversee.net have lost a lot of their pieces of flair, by dropping their characteristic logos that kept the brands distinct for several years. “We […]

Sunday Thoughts from Father Domainicus

Posted by DomainGang on April 11, 2010, at 6:46 am

Good morning, fellow domainers around the world. Every Sunday morning, at the mass, I am asked the same questions by many faithful domainers: Does domain heaven exist? Do registrants of .tel domains go to hell? Is Oversee the true and only triad representing God? As creatures of God, we are all His children. As domainers, […]

Will Hank Alvarez appear ‘incognito’ at TRAFFIC Milan?

Posted by DomainGang on April 7, 2010, at 6:20 pm

Ever since the news of Hank Alvarez and his auction trickery broke back in November, the former VP of Operations at Snapnames (sometimes known as Nelson Brady) has been nowhere to be seen. It seems that in the domaining universe things are forgiven and forgotten quite easily. There are rumors, however, that Hank Alvarez will […]

DomainFest – Is the Hank Alvarez scandal finally over?

Posted by DomainGang on January 30, 2010, at 9:51 am

Less than three months after the announcement of the Hank Alvarez / Nelson Brady / SnapNames / Oversee scandal – whatever you might want to call this clusterflock of a domainer situation – there are virtually no traces of it left in the daily discussions.

As Snapnames rebates arrive in the mail, Domainers await the next Domain Scandal

Posted by DomainGang on January 10, 2010, at 3:50 pm

It’s been a full two months since the Hank Alvarez (aka “Nelson Brady“) scandal broke the sleepy waters of the Domain village. It was a day of infamy, when Snapnames announced that their very own Vice President of Engineering did nothing short of engineer the results of thousands of domain auctions. At the point of […]

Hank Alvarez breaks his silence – Delivers a message to all domainers

Posted by DomainGang on December 19, 2009, at 4:15 am

Almost two months have passed since former Snapnames employee Hank Alvarez became the centerpiece of news related to the tightly knit domainer community. His now infamous ‘halvarez‘ handle at Snapnames leaves a bad taste in the mouth of many domainers – many of which ended up paying a whole lot more money at auctions, or […]

Poll: Where in the world is Nelson Brady?

Posted by DomainGang on December 15, 2009, at 11:02 am

It appears that the noise surrounding the Snapnames / Halvarez scandal has completely disappeared from the domaining airwaves – much like Nelson Brady a.k.a. Hank Alvarez himself. While we can only speculate on the ongoing relationship between the named perpetrator and his former employer, it appears that there is some sort of agreement between the […]
