    Wow. I haven't logged-in here in months and it's disappointing (although not surprising) to see the same old people making the same old dramatic negative noise. Doesn't look like many people have hung around, either. No offence to Chris Burgess, who owns this site, and who I like (and know is...

    Your shortsightedness and loud mouth "assumptions" are well documented on this forum. My signature says it all.

    Blackout Week Protest

    In a 100-year timeline common sense prevails. BIG PICTURE. Shorter cctlds will always win, given time. If we don't make the change today, we will make it 5 years, or 10 years, of 50 years down the track. Rip the bandaid off NOW.

It was an honour to get a chance to appear on his show and meet him in person at NamesCon earlier this year. He is genuinely one of the nicest and smartest guys I've met in...

    The best thing I have ever read on DNTrade just occurred... Snoopy: I own 5 .com.au domains DomainShield: I know you are a .com-only investor with a grudge to bear about the success of .au domains. I am not arguing to convince you of anything. I am however arguing with you because if anyone...

    Blackout Week Protest

    Firstly, I have never taken anything Paul (aka Snoopy) has said on this forum seriously, and when I see him try to tack his agenda of "CANCEL THE DIRECT .AU REGISTRATION" and "CANCEL the ABN REQUIREMENTS" onto the end of everything everyone posts on here, it makes me cringe. I find both those...

    auDA Support Person on upcoming Direct Registration Policy

    I just had a guy low-ball me all morning on a great generic landscaping name (that I bought for development reasons) that he think he "deserves" over and above everyone else in Australia. Anyway, after I tried to do him a favour with the price, I also mentioned to him (I like to educate all...

    auDA CEO and Director Caught Not Declaring Conflict of Interest

    This changes everything. Anyone who gets a job at auDA when they have had no history of owning any domain names, have not been involved in the industry, have not been a member . . . is clearly doing it for the cash incentive. Why do the powers that be at the time employ people like this? I...
