DanconiaClub Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 I and a team of web developers, are building an online members-only club for the affluent called: The D'Anconia Club. Please visit the site to check it out and spread the word! http://www.danconiaclub.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninth Doctor Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 What’s the minimum net worth you require of your members? And how do you check that they’re qualified? Property records, tax returns, a PFS from a CPA? BTW, you quote Michael Douglas as saying “The most valuable commodity in the world is information”, this is incorrect. This would be like quoting Ellsworth Toohey and attributing it to Robert Douglas, or Howard Roark to Gary Cooper. You should credit the quote to Gordon Gekko, Wall Street. I must say you’ve really rubbed me the wrong way, and by coming here I suspect you’ve misread your target audience. For my part, rather than hanging out with people who have gathered together based strictly on net worth, I’d prefer these kind of people: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninth Doctor Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Ironically, D'Anconia would have agreed with you. I don't think he was ever happier than when he posed as Frank Adams... This thing actually looks like a phishing operation to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninth Doctor Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 BTW, if you want to get affluent people together, what you do is target things affluent people are interested in. Such as yachts, Italian sports cars, fine wine, and/or 1st class travel. Here’s something of a musical laundry list: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VGItt9cCgc DanconiaClub, as Robert Douglas said, “you poor amateur!” Shoot, I can’t remember if that’s exactly the line, it’s the scene between Toohey and Wynand, er, I mean Douglas and Massey. Then there was the part about how it’s “always safe to attack the rich, everyone will help you, the rich first!” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intellectualammo Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 What’s the minimum net worth you require of your members? Apparently $1.5 million. Also there is an initiation fee and $10,000 yearly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninth Doctor Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Apparently $1.5 million. Also there is an initiation fee and $10,000 yearly. And by any chance did you find out if the site is based in Nigeria? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 The domain is registered to Domains by Proxy. I wonder why the owner doesn't want anyone to know his info. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domains_by_Proxy The opening paragraph on the page has no fewer than nine grammar/spelling errors. You'd think they could've spent someone's $10k fee on an educated and/or native english speaker to write for their site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
