Anyone still in touch with Crazy Greek?
« on: July 17, 2008, 02:42:53 PM »
I noticed that a squatter seems to own Hackernetwork.com now, and it appears that he sold Flashplayer.com to UGO.

The Hackernetwork domain is for sale for $5000 minimum... I wonder if the squatter paid him what he was asking and is looking to make some money on it.

If that's the case, said squatter is an idiot.   :roll:

So anyone heard from our old friend Billy?

I can't believe that someone is trying to sell OUR playground for $5000.

I haven't heard from him though.

The HN email still works.  Not that he ever answered it before.   :-D

I told you a month ago that there was something sitting there.  But at least it was a page instead of a directory.

My HN email doesn't work.  I can send stuff from it, but I can't receive anything.

I know, but I didn't see the for sale offer on it then.

I just checked and the page is there but it doesn't seem to send or receive.  I'll check back in a little while.  I sent one to detta at that place if that was your addy there.

I'll take that back.  I sent one test to myself somewhere else and it sent two to that addy.

I think detta is right.  It does send but not receive.

Is that a great spam filter or what?

Look at you, hacker: a pathetic creature of meat and bone, panting and sweating as you run through my corridors. How can you challenge a perfect, immortal machine?

Last I heard from him, he wanted $5000 for the domain.

Personally, I don't think it's worth $5,000. No longer is there any traffic going to the domain, nor is there any content that you get to go along with the domain. I'd place my offer at no higher than about $300 at this point in time.

He occasionally pops up on IM - if I see him again I'll ask about it.

I know how that is.  Since then, I went a bit forum-crazy for a while trying to fill that void, but lately I've settled.
