dark52 sold this website off this year, in case you didn't know. [CLOSED]

Darkspyro is owned by Hubert Thieblot of CURSE INC since 2015. Darkspyro was registered with ENOM INC. on November 14, 2005. Hubert Thieblot resides in HUNTSVILLE, USA and their email is SUPPORT@CURSE.COM.
Earlier, Dark Spyro owners included Hubert Thieblot of Curse Inc in 2013 and Curse Inc later that year as well as Alex Bates in 2012 and Alex Bates Registered through: GoDaddy.com LLC (http://www.godaddy.com) later that year.
The current Darkspyro.net owner and other personalities/entities that used to own this domain in the past are listed below.

Dark52 no longer owns the site, but has administration control over the site and the site only. As far as FTP permissions....I highly doubt he has much control.

This would also explain the default time zone change recently.

The site must be worth a lot for Curse to continue the merger and eventually purchase the site off of dark.

So... the site would still be running even if dark was absent for a certain period of time?

And yet darkSpyro still isn't on the list of Curse websites and gets no promotion whatsoever on their site, and the copyright down below is still under Dark's name.

Dark is still active on the maitinence side. He doesn't need to post on the forums.

Perhaps they're lazy in regards to adjusting the footer? The information I posted is 100% accurate.

Can that site really be that reliable when it gets the date of creation wrong?

EDIT: Also the list of owners would imply that Dark sold the site off in 2013.

WHOIS has official documentation from registered web hosting and domain sites. Its actually necessary for all sites to have WHOIS documentation.

The info on the page is partially inaccurate though. According to the page Dark hasn't owned the site since 2013, and the creation date is off by over a year.

I'd like to hear more from Dark himself but right now I'm not very convinced.

No, the page implies the site merged with Curse in 2013 and then was later sold off to Curse in 2015 and ran by them.

That's still confusing. Again, I'd like to hear from Dark if he sold it off or if the site is simply claiming Curse/Herbert as the owner because the site is being run on their client (once again worth noting that the site is not in Curse's network and isn't promoted).

Also why does the site have a 1 star rating?

I don't know if you know this, but, the site pulls information right off of the hosting and domain registrar. Its accurate.

As for the one star rating, that's weird.

It's not "accurate" if it got the site's creation date wrong.


Err, where are you guys getting the site creation date from? Because everything (but the supposed date) is 100% accurate.

The site you linked claims that DarkSpyro was created on "November 14, 2005", when the site's actually been around since 2004.


I'm going to assume that the 2004 date is from when dark was using a free domain/hosting plan, similar to (dot)tk.

Then in 2005 he must have used money and put the site on godaddy permanently, there for WHOIS information started becoming documented then.

And don't claim that something is "100%" accurate when you don't know that for a fact, regardless of what this site says or not.


Whoa hey buddy, WHOIS is accurate. I do happen to know that for a fact. I've ran several sites in the past and have permissions to have personal WHOIS information.

Also, take some CIS/CS/or database structure classes before d00d

Edit: on my phone, I thought I hit edit, not quote.

You were blatantly assuming I was wrong even when I providedy sources and assumption on the creation date area. You still went ahead and called me out even though I provided all of that.

Calling someone a retard is highly more offensive than calling someone a moron, and it's rather distasteful to call someone a retard.

Fact: WHOIS is accurate. The creation date error is more than likely because darkspyro started on a free (dot)tk domain plan.

I wasn't saying that you were "wrong", I was saying that you aren't "right" either, not at least 'till Dark himself says something about the subject.

If that really offends you of all people, who daily talks **** to other users, then you're just an overly-sensitive baby.

However, I apologize nonetheless as that was a bit overboard.

I wasn't saying it was completely inaccurate, just saying that it was completely "accurate" either.



Of course it offended me when you accused me of being wrong. It was incredibly pessimistic.

I **** talk to other users? Dude, I don't talk to anyone here outside of randomly PMing Amethyst.

The tone of your post says otherwise, but I'll forgive you.

Actually, sure.
I'll contribute calling you out on more crap, because you're pissing me off. You're whining and crying for every little ****ing thing. A topic remotely relate to video games? "Waaaah, mods, move it!" Being proved wrong about the accuracy of a website? "Waaaah, I was right! I know it because I always am!" You were WRONG. Shut up and face it instead of acting like a goddamn coward. Just because the forum isn't the ironclad, super inforced utopia that you want it to be, doesn't give you the right to be a baby about everything. You want somewhere where you can act like you're above everyone else and you can whine and cry and act immature, then go back to 4chan.

No, the site would not have been on WHOIS if it was created on invisionfree/freewebs or hosted on a free domain carrying site.

You're missing the point.
It's still darkSpyro. It was still a site. It was still created in '04. It just changed domains and got registered then, but it should be '04 on the site because that's when it was ACTUALLY CREATED.

No, you're not understanding that WHOIS doesn't have that information because the site changed both of its platforms. It's more than likely dark was young and didn't point the domain platform and hosting platform to whatever he just started using at the point.

Wow. I can't believe I wasted the ten minutes it took to read this completely pointless thread. Thanks, Obama!

Also since the site is hosted by Curse in some form, wouldn't the whole "ownership" solely be in regards to whoever owns curse, which is liable to change without anyone on the site being affected in any way whatsoever, including Dark?

Also try to be more informative than "I'm right because I took some classes on / otherwise studied [subject] so I supposedly have the knowledge and I say so."

while the argument is stupid, friendly reminder that "having source ≠ right and correct information."

It's one source, and that source can be wrong. It's best to get multiple sources stating the same thing, and sources that have been known to be reliable (but can still get things wrong every once in a while- we're all human), so that way your claim/argument is accurate.
