[edit] Domaining

Suggest that entries like DNForum be merged into the main domaining article. Otherwise it looks too much like advertising or link spam, which Wikipedia doesn't allow. Thanks. --John Nagle 02:15, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

I was going to describe DNF a little more, just wait till I compile the info.

[edit] Link Spam?

The entry was changed and reworded to include this blurb about a domain related blog, "The first major website to use the term domaining in their domain was http://www.DomainingBlog.com who has helped make the term very popular amongst domainers with daily updates focusing solely on domaining."

The term "domaining" was around for many years before DomainingBlog hit the scene. This seems like an odd addition to a wikipedia entry so it has been reverted to a previous state. Can anyone locate the earliest use of the term 'domaining' or 'domainer'?

[edit] Brad Hines Sock Puppets

The Brad Hines article is currently being considered for deletion for non-notability. In the process of contesting that deletion, Utzchips has apparently used several different sock puppets, including Funnimilk, AvinSanjih, MonMonstah, and SBruz10, as well as 24.203.42.57. Utzchips has admitted to being an employee of Brad Hines' company, Yum Domains, and some people believe that he is Brad Hines (for example, when uploading the Yum Domains trademark, Utzchips said something to the effect of "I own this image.") I've removed the reference to him on this page for the same reasons that the article about him is being deleted, and would encourage him not to continue making changes to any article through sock puppetry.
