About a week ago someone mentioned to me that they’d be interested in purchasing my domain if I didn’t want it. I said no, but it did make me wonder how much it was worth.
The following site gives you an estimate on what a certain domain name is worth:
I personally think the results it gives are a little over blown, but it’s still fun to try different sites and see what it says. Below is just a hand full of sites I tried. If you want, you can post your own site’s worth in the comments to this.

About: The web site of a popular programmer (someone I used to follow carefully since he always did good work). Looks like he hasn’t updated his site since 2004. Though maybe he’s moved onto something else.

About: Does anyone remember darcfx.com? It was the major aol programming site after knk.com went down. Man, I probably date myself with these aol references (as a site note, I haven’t had AOL since the year 2000).
It’s funny when you reference old AOScene websites, because I too remember all of them in great detail. KnK was a great site for downloading random Windows API modules for AOL and AIM, and I believe had a section about knives if I’m not mistaken. I remember DoS as he was generally one of the more popular programmers that a lot of the scene kids would rip off, and looking at his Registrar information it says that his domain will expire in December, but is set to renew itself. Darc also doesn’t update his site, but has a new site, which doesn’t pertain in the least bit to what his older sites did.
I’m glad to see you chose to keep your site as I always enjoyed it because it focused a lot more on Visual Basic as a whole than just AOL applications. I wondered what happened to a lot of the older forum members that you once had, because a lot of them were very knowledgeable when it came to questions I’d present.
Yeah, the old forum was really nice. I’m not sure whatever happened to most of the forum members, but I do know that chicanerous (also known back then as “silence in rage”) now posts over at johnstonefitness.com.
damn, a new site. wow. i like it. how have things been?

local! I remember you. Things have been pretty good. A lot has changed in the past few years (gone from being an under grad in college to a grad student to working at a company full time).
Hopefully this site will grow like the last one did. I intend to put continual work into it, but only time will tell how things turn out.
Sounds like things are going good. I see chicanerous is still around, guess you never hear anything from Craig jr or John (Digital Rampage) from the old board? If you need any help with site related things let me know.
I haven’t heard anything from Digital Rampage in a while. He’s on my AIM buddylist, but I don’t think we’ve talked in like 2 years. I think he ended up becoming a cop. I remember him saying something about that.
I haven’t heard anything from Craig in ages. I was a little worried about him too, because at one point he was telling me he had some serious health issues and had to have some kind of operation. He actually explained it to me in an email once just to let me know that he wasn’t “abandoning” the site if he happened to stop posting. He continued to post after that though, so I assume he ended up ok. But I haven’t heard from him since the message board died down.
