    Arrow Another avatar domain is for sale

    The domain name avatarforums.com (without the hyphen -) is for sale on Godaddy.com.

    The guy who owns it is asking 18k.

    I recall he setup an Avatar forum about a year ago but never did anything with it. Sadly it quickly fell into ruin, filled with spam and ultimately closed. It would be a nice addition to add-on here, but I don't have 18k, nor would I pay that for it.

    It would be nice if we could pick that up but we would need a lot more donations for it. Even if we could get it and then set it up as a redirect to us here.

    you guys aren't intending on buying it are you.... IMO it's a waste of $ just to have that domain name and redirect it here, not to mention $18,000 -_-
    There are many dangers on Pandora, and one of the subtlest is that you may come to love it too much.

    No it's unlikely.

    I do like the fact that the name is older than this one, which Google also likes. But 18k for a domain name that has zero traffic is just silly. Now if it was just avatar.com, that would be a different story.

    BTW, I refreshed our title image here. It's always nice when you're recognized by people in the movie industry.

    It does look nice, you may not own the name avatarforums without the hyphen but this is still the best Avatar forums on the web IMO.

    I'm looking forward to the journey of Avatar 2 and 3, can't wait to see new posts about things we learn and looking forward to old members logging back on and to meeting a whole group of new ones. This forum has a very bright future IMO and hopefully that will continue long after the last movie is out.

    Hopefully the people in the coming months and years will choose this as their home for their Avatar forum and that domain never becomes true competition.

    Let him sit on it for a few months. Make a more reasonable offer then if you still want it.

    Have to agree, what is a community without the community.
    Reminds me a bit about a construction company that set up across the road from another more succesful company, because it hoped to be bought out (as it prevously did to the same company in another locale). This time the larger company just sat on their hands and waited, and eventually picked it up for far less than it had anticipated, true story.

    Does this other site have an established community?

    The only community he had was a group of dedicated spammers. I think it was open for about 6 months or so. Sadly no one was watching it, and it fell into ruin.

    I've heard that preparations for Avatar 2 are already underway and the script is being written. Can't wait!!
