There has been some kind of a rift and a number of members have split from Acorn domains and formed a new forum called UKDNF.

I'm just starting to get all the details and I am hearing bits and pieces from both sides.


The main thing I have to say about this is it's a shame to split up the resources. Usually this happens when one party is not listening to the other and a mutual understanding is not reached. If you listen and truly try to meditate instead of enforcing you can usually avoid such situations.

I remember when I was mod on another forum, I would basically respond to each of the conflicting parties and ask them how they feel the situation could be resolved. I was never in favour over totalitarian enforcement, instead I wanted to focus on guiding members to a resolution. That is why we have minimal rules here and we have guides not enforcers.

I'm excited to see the new forum but I'm also sad to see they could not reach a mutual agreement. Now the member base is contacting and blocking each other trying to get the upper hand, not the best case scenario, but technically that is how DN.ca came to be when the totalitarian forces at namepoos were in full display.

That did not last long, seems he found out how tough it is to run a forum.

There are 2 more UK forums that have split form Acorn but it is my believe that Acorn continues to be the place to discuss UK domains.

Helmuts @Helmuts is a nice guy and I find it hard to believe anyone would not be able to work out a disagreement by contacting him directly.

DNforum.com is also getting a new life and with the new added features I see a bright future for a once stagnant brand.
