Something New is Coming
We’ve recently received a mail from Matt regarding the Wordpress Domain Policy, where they ask webmasters not to use “Wordpress” word in domain names.
We looked for wpcenter.com, but it is registered as a premium domain so the price is 3k, we have searched for other good combinations, but most of them are already registered. When we first thought about launching WordpressCenter.com, we focused a lot on the “center” idea. WordpressCenter.com was developed as a future point for wordpress users and developers.
We were thinking about a job board, a marketplace and things like those that wordpress community needs and it doesn’t have right now. Not being able to find and register a domain that statisfies our concept made us to rethink the concept. So that’s what we did.
WordpressCenter.com will be moved on a new domain name. The ideea of a center for wordpressers has changed, but the idea of releasing free wordpress themes that matters is there, unchanged and the themes that we will release on our new project will be as the same quality, maybe better.
We finished the hole plan, design and we are currently working at the code of the new website, but for the launch we need to more products, that takes us a little more time. One of those products is Markted that you all are waiting for, the second one is similar.
So I wrote this article to apologize for everybody that has subscribed, followed or visited us just for Markted theme, it will be released on the new website until the 10th of May.
Thank you,
Sorel Mihai!

Add yours!I was thinking he would get you… God damn you Matt :P
Either way, when you find a new domain name you will post it up right or redirect to it yes?
I seriously want to see that new theme thats in the works, how far along is it now? Release date?
I thought this might happen. Same situation occurred for elegantthemes.com. Their original URL was elegantwordpressthemes.com.
Regardless, I’m looking forward to the new theme Markted, as well as all future releases.
The domain is already registered, and the website will be up in few hours, but we will launch it in few days.
You will be able to download Markted on 10th of May. Thank you Anto!
10th of May? And you wrote that on 4th of June… What year are we talking about ? :P
Im seriously hoping he ment to write 10th of June hehe.
But none the less, keep us posted with the new site man, always keep us posted, you do amazing work, really grateful for what you put out there to the community.
Yes, I’m sorry, 10th of May :p
Thanks for all your hard work in WP development!
However, whats the deal with Matt requesting that people do “not” include the word WordPress in their domain names. I hope Matt realizes that all the people who WILL abuse the system – by including with the word WordPress in their domain name – will not honor his request.
Only the honest people will.. and you can quickly see the problem that will develop.
@Aaron
Matt can get him done for using “wordpress” in his domain name.
I know its kinda lame, but sure what can we do.
Sorel, 10th of May? What next year man? This is June, what do you mean? Next year or are you writing it wrong ? :S
@Anto: Sorry again, yes, 10th of July. I was so messed up.
@Aaron: we looked and there are many websites with “wordpress” in their domains. We respect Wordpress. Wordpress has changed my life, and I’m not talking bullshit, it has a great impact over my web and social life, and considering the great work that they are doing we are going to respect their policy.
Omg July? :(
Cant you release earlier ? Thats so long away, why so? Just bust it out there, no ?
10th of June :D June, that’s it.
@Sorel Mihal
