Re: เกมส์.com now an ascii url?

I thought maybe "thaigamez.com" was an existing site or domain name that was register several years ago, but it looks like it was regged in dec 06 and nothing on archive.org? don't know, but I am sure he has his reasons.

He is using เกมส์.com in the logo

Probably because he gets zillions of visitors and has trouble monetizing.

He mentioned that it was difficult to sell ads when most advertisers only saw punycode. It didn't look like a 'real domain' to them.

Only he can answer, I suppose.
