As an FYI, Epik bought it for 85k over 12 months when they paid for it.

Even if they got the same price, it would be a tiny fraction of what they owe customers.
It would not even cover the $91K to Kathleen Kalaf - An Epik victim tells her story - Domain Name Wire | Domain Name News
Never mind the reported $1.5M+ to Domain Empire, and many other debts in the tens of thousands range.
I hope you were not paid in Masterbucks.

I know, I just thought you would want to know what he paid to the other guys.Even if they got the same price, it would be a tiny fraction of what they owe customers.

It is good information to have.
The forum has gone downhill since they owned it and new CEO Brian Royce is a domain noob.
I am curious what he was able to get for it.

I moved the DNForum posts from the Epik topic to this one
Seems like the DNForum will be a new owner so separating it from Epik seemed to be the best course of action.

Nothing's changed, the announcement on the forum barely caused a ripple.
news - DNForum has been acquired by DigitalCandy
The site is doomed, it has no support and DigitalCandy has a spotty record on twitter with its own controversies.

Three Partners Form Dot UK Group and Make Acquisitions Aimed at Spurring Growth for UK Domains
I fear for DNForum, the latest group is from England and specializes in .uk domains. The small interest groups who purchased the forum so far have cumulatively done more harm than good. I don't know how a regional UK group is going to do or what experience they have running a forum.
I wish them well and will stay tuned to see how things develop.
I remember years back (and I’m sure others do as well) I used to visit acorndomains.co.uk forum. They were very active (still are I believe but not sure how active) and they were .uk focused but had sections for domains other than .uk and lots of overall domain related information/services.

Acorn Domains - UK Domains - Domain Name Forum forum is a nice forum and is active enough for a regional entity
Australia’s Domain Name Community and Discussion Forum | DNTrade is an Australian forum and one of my favourite regional domaining forums, they have been around for a long time.
Been offline all day so they are either re-booting or its been shut down.

I don't have high hopes for the forum coming back in any meaningful way.

Their forum was dead slow not only in users but also in speed. I would encourage them to move to cloud servers like us where more servers pitch in when the load goes up.
I have learned so much about Xenforo this last year that I know there are a lot of things you can do right and wrong. The number one thing is to pay for addons and services, get the help of industry leaders, make sure you don't install some of the sketchy addons. We pay monthly for cloud servers and all the developers that helped write code for some of our custom scripts. Doing it right will go a long way to assure things run smooth.

One of the worst things they could do is take it offline, do the site transfer, and then flip the DNS switch so nobody notices/has any downtime.

Wow, they are still down. What a gong show.
They are probably staying with xenforo and had days down. We converted an entire database and we were down for less than a day.
That said, I paid all the proper people to assure it went smoothly and that is the key.
It's the last kick at the can for that forum, I hope they do it right, namepros has lost such a large chunk of it's users that a competing forum can succeed if they do it right.
I tried with namepost but got no traction as the new kid on the block. With their database dnforun has all the tools, they just need to do it right. Hopefully they are open to cross posting without the blatant censorship of namepros.
