Jenkem down or done

[wurfnnjs]

Jenkem's domain name seems to be for sale like they let it expire or something. Anyone know what's up?

[CHONGO]

I am sure they let it expire on accident.

[munchbox]

guerrilla marketing
(i hope)

[mooraga]

thats a nice fuck up 

[TheDraught]

Weird. Read a few articles a couple of days ago. Hope they're back soon.

[Scarecrow Radio]

Oh please God let it be permanent

[TheLurper]

@wurfnnjs You should have bought it when you had the chance.

[OwlGreen]

Who bought it?

[Hastings]

It says it is still for sale...

[OwlGreen]

Weird as fuck oversight given that they actually use their own website as opposed to running everything through IG and YouTube. Are they lining up a rebrand or did Ian finally buy World Industries? Maybe Flynt sold him Big Brother. Would make sense. So many sick Spike/Elyashkevich/Tobin/Kosick photos. Give us an official reprint.

damn, that's what happens when you don't drink your AG1?

Give it to me baby

Kinda wild that no ig posts or anything have been made, makes me think that not only did they let the domain expire but they also might not even know that it's down. Could be just because everyone is on christmas break but there's no way I'm the first to notice and someone has to have tried to get into contact with them by now.

nopes still down and domain for sale. possibly looks that way on purpose?

[Lou Strux]

This could be a fun one: in a strange twist of fate Anthony Shetler convinces the corporate overlords at World Industries to buy Jenkem, once again giving World a publication/mouthpiece of its own, leading to a second era of Big Brother like content.

This is all I need.

[lucascbn]

my inner child's whispering if it wasnt listed for 998EUR I'd buy it and wait for the e-mail to come haha :/


jokes aside they had some good content, especially interviews (I know, some late shit were not cool)

[Atiba Applebum]

I heard MJ told them to PayPal the web site fees F & F to his girlfriend.   They did and thought it was all taken care of

[HugeBodBoyle]

Just opened an incognito window and it is definitely not resolving to their site. Maybe Rocco will buy it.

[CHONGO]

shits dusted

[alien porkchop]

maybe maybe not. from my understanding it is pretty easy to let a domain registration lapse if you weren’t prepared for reregistration. and with it being the holidays, maybe they don’t have their IT or whoever does that for them available to renew the registration. there is a grace period for renewal, so i wouldn’t write them off just yet. but i also wouldn’t be surprised if it was done for good.

The longer this stays down, the fishier things seem. Is it a planned marketing ploy, has someone sabotaged Jenkem, or is this a case of "shit, our credit card expired and we can't figure out how to pay the domain host"?

If your business model is ad and online shop sales, not having either of those accessible seems like the scenario to avoid.

Sedo, the company currently in control of and who is selling the domain, is apart of Ionos (where Jenkemmag was originally registered 15 years ago).



As @alien porkchop mentioned, there is a grace period for renewals. After 30 days Ionos makes domains available to the general public, which is probably when the bids for the domain will be honored.

I highly doubt Ian is doing some marketing scheme. My guess he day drank and cool guyed too hard during the recent Adidas tour and he simply wasn't paying attention.

Alternatively, I wouldn't be surprised if he burned an IT guy who thought "not my job" and didn't feel like saving him.
