DomainBoardRoom.com
Celebrates Its 6th Birthday This Weekend -
Members Set to Party at Upcoming
Funfest
|
|
I
want to congratulate
founder Donna Mahony and the members
of DomainBoardRoom.com
on the highly regarded private domain forum's 6th
birthday - an occasion that will officially
arrive on Sunday (March 31, 2013). Dozens
of the most experienced people in the domain
business will tell you that DBR is their
favorite place to hang out online. While
the big public forums - DNForum.com
and NamePros.com
- have far more members and also provide tremendous
value to their members, their open
door approach doesn't allow the kind of
intimate, noise-free environment, where everyone
is a known quantity, that is treasured by
Domain Board Room's devotees. Some
mistakenly view private forums as being
"elitist" in some way - but they are
just the opposite from that. DBR lives up
to its slogan - "Where egos stand aside
to share knowledge, ideas and opinions." If
you have always conducted yourself in a
professional manner, you will likely find
yourself more than welcome at DBR

with
one or more current members happy to recommend
you. Once you arrive there you will find
yourself in a friendly room free of the kind of
flame wars, personal attacks and anonymous
trolls that can drive productive people away
from other venues.
Donna
was certainly the right person to create
an oasis of this kind. When I arrived in this
industry 11 years ago, Donna was already
on the scene and, in those early days at
DNForum.com, she was one of the first people to
welcome me. Today, just as she did back then,
Donna remains someone who is always willing to
help others learn the ropes and help veterans
connect in a productive, professional (and fun)
environment.

Above I said
that Domain Boardroom was a favorite place
for members to hang out online.
Actually, at least once a year, thanks to
the annual Domain
Board Room Funfest, it is a
favorite place for members, their families
and DBR friends to hang out offline
as well. After a successful
"un-conference" debut at Dana
Point, California (just south of
Los Angeles) last year, Funfest
returns for its 2nd go round there May
3-6, 2013, with an opening day luau/beach
party scheduled to get things off on the
right foot. |

This
year's four-day Domain Board Room Funfest will
conclude May 6 with a
Sunday night wrap dinner at the Salt Creek
Grille in Dana Point. For more information
