someone purchase .com of FP ?

Looks like someone purchased the .com version of ForumPromotion and threw up an old forum. I wonder how much traffic theyll take from this site? I know I go to .com a lot just out of habit...
 
I believe they changed their name lancebase but their domain is forumpromotion.com
 
The purchase of this domain was to take traffic of people going to this website.

Like me before I joined someone told me about forum promotion I typed it in with a .com and it was wrong site stating this domain is for sale.

Had to google it to get here.

I still catch myself sometimes typing in forumpromotion.com just as a habit with .com

Most of our traffic comes from Google anyway - I do not believe the sale of forum promotion.com is going to take any traffic away as the .com domain has never had an impact before in the years of FP, nor will it now.

In the beginning it may have been a problem but FP has been around long enough that it’s really no issue. FP is very well indexed in Google anyway.

I’m sure the .com would try and be sold for a fortune so it’s not worth it. Besides .com is overrated.
 
Most of the members know the url of FP, and the quality of posts between two forums will surely help users pick the right one

I'm sure the majority of people will just search for forum promotion. People no longer automatically assume that every website has a .com domain name, right?
 
The .com was just listed for sale it was never a website until now. And worst it’s another community.

I would understand if the .com domain wasn’t a forum at all.
 
who cares, The site that it goes to doesn't have much content or member base and .com doesn't have much with it. No idea why the person brought it but in my mind it was a wast of money
 
I noticed that forum about 3 months ago or so. Not a big deal. Forum promotion will more than likely be unaffected by anything as far as that goes.
 
There have been many different individuals/companies sitting on the ForumPromotion.com domain for many years now. I know Fergal discussed purchasing the domain like a decade ago, but the seller wanted $x,xxx or something crazy for it. I've also looked into buying it since I became the owner, but I've never felt that their asking price was remotely reasonable.

Wish you did since it's meant for FP in away LOL but what it sounds like it's overpriced LOL
 
Slightly off topic (maybe not?) But I thought FP had just more than a .net domain? Could be thinking of when Fergal used to own it.
 
In advertising, assuming it's the USA, if you have a non-.com then you need emphasize the extension (.net, .biz whatever). However, ForumPromotion.net doesn't do that. However, it doesn't seem to be a big deal - but maybe confusing for some visitors.

Cameron currently owns the .net, .org and .biz extensions of Forum Promotion.
 
Out of curiosity I tried .com to see if it was a different promotion forum and Chrome blocked the url for security, then I found this topic here. 😀

Either way, it won't have affected my return to FP today after a few months (years?) break.
