Deep dives
The Quest for Longform.com
A significant pursuit centers around the desire to acquire the domain Longform.com, which has been sitting unused while the co-founders of Longform.org attempt to negotiate its purchase. Max Linsky has consistently made offers via fake email accounts feigning interest, only to receive a constant asking price of $30,000. This process took an unexpected turn when Aaron Lamer mistakenly contacted the domain owner using his official email address, leading to an alarming and unsolicited lowball offer for their own domain, Longform.org. The subsequent communication suggested potential foul play as the duo grappled with suspicions over the legitimacy of the low offer while also feeling the pressure of possibly losing their own domain.
