Thank you @Lämmchen! The forum opened in July 2018, so 2 years and 5 months.

I'd say VGR.com is the GOAT of all of the domains around here. How did you manage to get your hands on a three character .com domain, especially one that you were able to attach a brand to?

Very true. VGR is the kind of domain you can kill for! Estibot is valuing it at $51,000...! The community has grown really fast.
Congrats @Dan The Man quite admirable.

I knew the previous owner for over a decade and was able to buy it. I branded VGR for Video Game Revolution.

The 3 letter .com domain alone is worth 6 figures today.

I believe you used to have a store on your website. I think I remember seeing that you were selling retro gaming consoles and things like that. Is that still a thing that you're doing? If not, why aren't you?

Is that amount something you’ve been offered?
