On another point, I have known Adam Dicker personally and professionally for many years and find it hard to believe that he has ever been associated with anything remotely close to what I’ve read from some of the previous posts. This is a forum to promote positive change in an industry that we all care about. We should all refrain from making assumptions or launching personal attacks.

He has been ethical and professional in every regard. Given the black history of our industry, I understand why this particular issue raised some concern. I seriously doubt the rumors and speculation however. To say that Adam used insider "bid" knowledge to buy some mediocre $3k domain is pretty foolish. Adam has a history of buying from snap, pool, nj and tdnam for as long as those services have been around. I agree with Godaddy's decision but strongly disagree with some of these rumors and gossip.

Good job Godaddy! I think this in time will make the auctions a better place to by quality names without the fear any wrongdoings.

Good job Godaddy!

This is the first positive step this industry has taken to clean itself up. The rest of the other companies must follow suit. There probably was nothing improper here but eliminating employee bidding removes any chance of issues. re: post 12, I agree with Andrew.
