Today’s article On Domainer entitled “auDA – It’s Time For Conflict Resolution” was our 500th published post. Whilst that is “small bikkies” compared to some overseas domain blogs, it’s a good start for a little Aussie battler!
Thank you to all our readers, and particularly to those who have contributed to the thousands of comments we have received.
And a special thank you to the two “Lukes” who have been with me from the beginning of this journey – Luke Summers and my son Luke. Luke Summers in particular has kept this site going come rain, hail and shine – and he’s also written some fantastic guest articles. And my son Luke has been responsible for a lot of the great visual and audio content on here (including a few Fabulous tutorials!).
Domainer has been a total labour of love – I have never taken one cent for advertising, or for the promotion of any business that I’ve endorsed on here.
Special Message To auDA
Whether you like it or not, Domainer is now a serious industry blog about domain names in Australia. It is read, (from time to time), by a substantial number of Supply and Demand Class members. We also tend to cover the issues that you don’t wish to discuss – without fear or favour!
Even though some Directors and staff of auDA deny reading this blog, we know you do sneak a peek – particularly lately. đŸ˜‰ And so you should! auDA is a membership organisation – and given your current poor levels of communication and transparency, you need to understand what is important to members.
Ned O’Meara – 29th May 2017
Congratulations on the milestone Ned! đŸ™‚
Domainer.com.au is a must-read blog for anyone with an interest in the Australian namespace.
Thanks young Luke – as I’ve already said, couldn’t have done it without you. đŸ™‚
Well done Neddy
Thanks old fella!
Congratulations Ned.
It’s no mean feat to maintain a blog so consistently over a long period of time.  Domain owners throughout Australia salute you!
Thanks Shane – and I do appreciate your contributions along the way.
You, Luke Summers and Robert Kaay are far better writers than I will ever be! I’m just a tradesman compared to you guys!
And I’m not looking for praise, so don’t bother correcting me. đŸ˜‰
Good onya Ned, LOL …. I wonder how many posts if Auda did not exist?
I’d much rather be writing about domaining Rod! So the answer is probably just as many. đŸ™‚
I was hoping to get some sort of congratulations from the team at auDA – particularly the Chair, the CEO, Erhan and Simon Johnson.
But then I awoke from my dream …
Does AUDA stand for All U Domainer Assholes ?
Speak for yourself Rodney!
Congrats Ned. That’s quite a milestone.
You should feel proud of yourself for maintaining Domainer.com.au over the years. Even after your health scarce and after selling Drop.com.au, you are still at it.
I know from experience it is hard maintaining a website with original, unique, and insightful articles. You’ve done a great job and your advice, tips, and insight are extremely useful and valuable. Even though I’m not an Aussie and don’t buy .AU domains.
Hey, that’s the beauty of the Internet right? đŸ™‚
Thanks Adam!
