Namepros.com Down 2nd Day in a Row

Vaunted domain name forum NamePros.com is now down for the second day in a row. Namepros.com is a fast moving forum and chat room for domainers and online developers. Information about the fate of this site is unavailable. While hacks and outages do occur for any site, the lack of maintenance notification is cause for concern.

A hacking attempt cannot be dismissed as a possibility. Many domain name professionals wonder if the site may have closed unexpectedly. Also unclear is the legal status of many active domain name deals and service agreements via that portal. NamePros.com was not in service all Labor Day and members expecting it to be back up today were greeted with the now-familiar error message or server timeout.

DomainGang.com Hacked?

Well, unless you enjoy flat Times New Roman displays of the DomainGang site cgi-bin, the game is afoot over at the DomainGang.com website. First there was the cgi-bin file, then the blank white screen. The Twitter page for the blog site has comments allegedly by the admin regaridng the domain password getting stolen. Has our favorite snarky Domaining site been hacked? Is nothing sacred?
