Domain investor trio purchases DNForum

Three domain investors will be the next to try to restore DNForum to prominence.

Domain name forum DNForum has been sold to three domain name investors who will operate the site and hope to restore it to its former glory. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.

I asked the fresh owners for a quick overview of who they are. One of the promising things regarding this trio is its geographic distribution. This gives them more timezone coverage as well as an multinational perspective.

Here are the fresh owners:
