A couple of weeks ago, I noticed that my blog was coming close to receiving its 25,000th comment and I wanted to do something fun when that happened. I didn’t want to broadcast this because it would likely encourage superfluous comments, and I didn’t want that to happen.
I had a “secret contest” on my blog that only I knew about. I decided that the person who made the 25,000th comment would receive something that I use every day and couldn’t be a domain investor without. The winner will receive a one year paid membership to DomainTools (Standard), courtesy of me (disclosure: I am paying for this and not getting a discount).
This membership includes the following tools:
The winner is a person who has commented regularly on my blog who uses the nickname “Poor Uncle.” I’ve sent him an email and will coordinate with DomainTools to set him up with the account. It might take a few days to get going because I am on vacation, but I will connect with Susan and Monica at DomainTools to make it happen ASAP.
I really want to thank you all for visiting my blog and contributing with your comments. I believe a blog is only as good as its readers’ contributions, and I really appreciate your making my blog a much more interesting place to read and learn.
Thanks Elliot! I have never won anything. This is the first. Yeppie!!!
You are no longer “Poor”
Lucky Rich Uncle!!
Congrats.
Congrats Poor Uncle.
Congrats to Poor Uncle and to you as well Elliot!
I have a feeling that I won this thing…
@ Uzoma
LOL… I just counted and your last comment was 25,040… close but no cigar.
Congrats to Poor Uncle and to Elliot! Domain Tools is an essential tool and you will really benefit from it.
Big Ups to “Rich Uncle” and I love the fact that the award went to one of the most loyal commentator, random as it was. Enjoy Domain Tools!!
I’m curious which topic was the comment for and what was the comment? I guess it was in the .co post you made a couple of days ago “Sell your .co domain before they expire”
You’re going to have a women’s award, too, for getting close to 25,000 right? Right??!
And congratulations, Poor Uncle!
Good thing it wasn’t an “Anonymous Coward” 😀
Do I have a prize today too my friend 25012 yes?
Congrats to Poor Uncle!
Elliot that was very nice of you & congrats on 25k+ comments!

I don’t care what they say about you Elliot, you’re a class act!
See, good things do happen to “Poor” people.

@ Elliot
Just wanted to say a public thank you. Your gift was thoughtful and much appreciated..and it wasn’t cheap. For anyone who is interested you can go and look it up.
To Everyone else:
Great thing happen to Poor Uncle after Elliot announced that I was the winner of his 25,000th comment secret contest. Even Francois of Domaining.com known about my new found celebrity status and was jealous of me. 🙂 Now, it would be icing on the cake if someone would come along and acquire my CosmeticSurgeons.CO domain for about $1.5 million with 5% Life time revenue sharing. ChaChing!!
