You haven't Sold yet? I believe it was Steve Miller that said it best "Take the money and run". Congrats. "A Rose by any other name"

Maybe because I'm a new member, or maybe because I'm a foreigner, I don't understand where is the interest for a large company to buy just a name, and a name dedicated to a website for RPG games ? What do they intend to do with the name ? If you sell the name, you sell the site too (and create a new site with the same purpose and an other name) or not ?
No matter ... Of course, it's great for you ! Congratulations !! As far as my advice can have any value, all I can say is : TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN ...

Just a litte (bitter) remark anyway : why did you quote Paris France third in your list... after kangaroos ... twenty centuries of old European civilization are insulted ....
And why Paris (always Paris ...) ? In Provence, there is an old sentence that says "Qui a vist Paris et noun Cassis a ren vist" (don't run to your dictionary : it's not French language, it's in old Provençal - translation : "the one who saw Paris and didn't see Cassis has seen nothing"). I mean : if you travel to Paris (which is located north of France), make a litte 800 km further and go to Provence (south of France) : more sun, the sea, ... and me !

I'm joking : Paris is a very beautiful (rainy) town. And Cassis is just a litte Mediterranean (sunny) port. Very nice, however. The sentence I quoted you is the town device (if I well remember, I believe Paris device is in latin : "fluctuat nec mergitur". That means "she (the town) floats but she doesn't sink". When I tell you it's a watery town...).

NB : and if you sell who is going to help me to enter the Stout Mines now ??? Can you tell me ?!!!

I think this would be awesome. The opportunity to come up with interesting stories about how Ziroc came up with the new name? I can hardly wait. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Dan, let me see if I understand this correctly.

One of the 10 largest gaming companies in the world wants to pay you 3.8 million [img]graemlins/wow.gif[/img] for the rights to the name IronWorks Gaming.

This means that you would have enough money to....

1) Live the rest of your life debt free.
2) Hopefully find a way to live the rest of your life pain free.
3) Buy your dream car and take several dream vacations to meet close friends.
4) Establish the business you always dreamed of owning.
5) Improve the greatest gaming forum on the Internet so that it no longer suffers any mechanical malodies.
6) And ADD even more stuff to what is already the greatest site on the web.

I'm sorry, WHAT was the downside again???

Think of your favorite hang-out. Would you stop going there if they suddenly changed the name - but nothing else???

TAKE THE MONEY!!!!

BTW, I certainly don't want to steal your spotlight, but this seems like the perfect time to ask you to read the e-mail message I sent you. You'll understand what I mean when you see it.

Congratulations, Dan. I couldn't be happier for you - and for this forum, by whatever name it goes by. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/cheers.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
