OK, this is not really poker related but I'll give you a little background into how we came about the domain PokerAnon.com. I was looking at the 100 oldest domain names, still registered to this day. This was all before internet poker appeared online. I found it interesting to follow how these internet domain names have progressed since.
100 Oldest Working .Com Domain Names
Picking the short straw within my group of poker players, i was asked to find a decent domain for our new poker site. Together, we had already thought of every decent poker term imaginabe, they were all taken. Within our discussion, someone came up with the idea that aged poker domains were better for search engine purposes. Easier said than done. I found the list below, but nothing resembled a domain I would like for a poker site, but it was interesting to look at the development of the 100 oldest domain names on the internet. They will all cost a fortune to buy. Some have been developed but many are just sitting dormant. The owners are probably sitting on the domains values, waiting for a hefty offer.

So I spend a day or so looking through these domains, just out of interest. I still hadn't found a poker domain. I don't know why but I tried out PokerAnon.com, it seemed a reasonable poker name. It was previously used as a poker site. So there you have it. That is how we came about the name PokerAnon.com
