So what's it like to own an internet forum?
So Trip, what's it really like man? You run this badass forum that is responsible for all this great discourse, that has spawned numerous friendships, helped people in hard times, and saved countless CF refugees from internet limbo.
You've got to deal with all the crap that comes from open opinion, people you disagree with, and all that. Why do you do it and what do you get out of it personally? I mean, I know what the members get out of it...but all I have to do it click on a favorite and I enjoy all the fruits of your labor without any sacrifice..

I like forums and I like arguments, that's pretty much why I did it. I also like having an owner who will consider all ideas without disappearing for weeks and never give us a straight answer. IE not sell us out to VS without even telling us. I enjoy this place as much as you guys. I appreciate you guys coming here and posting even though I am an asshat.

Anyway, I was checking out TWF for the heck of it and see that site is dead. The ads are all over, there is no traffic and all that work I put into that site wasted. I was going to post a thread and saw this one, so I don't wanna hijack. I was kinda looking forward to coming over here and railing on VS but if y'all still think I'm a POS then fuck that. I realize y'all will never see my side of the story and I'm at peace with that if you are, agree to disagree. I don't wanna drag up old shit. I was just wondering how things are going here, but I'll gladly sign if you want? |

I completely understand why you did it. You did what was best for your family, they are more important than us. I can understand that, but it still sucks that we lost that forum to those asshats. |

Yeah, I lost any respect I had for them a long time ago. I still can't believe they let that site wither away to the point where it's basically a parked domain, now. Whatever.

Yeah, they didn't even try to work with us. I talked to the new guy some when they snagged SVRider that took over for the guy that got fired after the mess with TWF and gixxer.com. He is pretty decent. He didn't seem to have any interest in reviving TWF. Just was satisfied with it being a lost cause.

This is a classy joint, Hippy.

Meh, who am I kidding, yes I will... She was ok-ish, until she went on her celibacy kick. Every fucking post after that was: "Hey, did I tell you guys I decided to be celibate? It's awesome. I think about sex with iDesmo all day, but I am celibate now. No more sex. Here's some pics I took of myself, while thinking about sex with iDesmo, or a tree trunk, or pretty much anything I could find in my yard, but I won't do it, because I'm celibate now. That's means I'm not having sex. With anyone. Not anymore. I'm celibate...." We get it. You're celibate. Just buy a fucking cat and get it over with. JC
