If this place gets any more crowded...

I'm curious...What warrants this VS Company to want to buy a Forum?? Big Member Core?? Or Like Being Known All Across The Internet?? I dont really think TWFix is all that "popular"

Not that it is a Bad thing I'm just saying.

we're not that big... not yet anyways... they buy the large forums to advertise... do a search for motorcycle forums and odds are the first 10 hits are gonna be a VS board.

My guess is they wouldn't be interested in this place.....since it's full of folks who've left other forums that they've assimilated

I agree- the taken over boards always draw the worst noobs and squid while the real personalities mutiny and desert.

off topic, but whats the point of shortening particleman with a abreviated version that is practically as long as his name?

Until recently my name was PrtclMn001 (user name dating back to online gaming in early college). I got tired of it and had it changed to Particle Man though I haven't decided if I like it or not.

As far as 'sold out' ....I'll tread lightly on this subject as it's sore on both sides, but I can say this...the Previous owner could have made a shitload more if he'd 'sold out' a year ago when they offered instead of telling them to piss off .......holding out cost him ALOT of scratch, but it was a last resort, not a first... (yes, I'm fairly close to the situation as I'm good friends with Rez and his wife.....hell, he was my best man @ my wedding years ago)

That's really all I can/should say publicly, but I do want the displaced folks to know that it was the last resort

In understand that.... similar but different for me and our old digs. I put in the same type of commitment, but no "crazy drunk driver" story behind it.

ya know... I just had a thought... we should all have an agreement... when VS comes to buy out TWFix... we take them for the most $ we can... stick around through the year they have the Admin under contract... then create a new forum... use the $ to sponsor a track day rally or some shit!

I agree on both points ebbs.

and make a clause in the contract that every registered user gets to string up stew and hit him like a pinata
