Default 2nd and how the moderation will change and how much they made on the sale

Kinda rubs me the wrong way to think people are making money on our knowledge and posts. But I guess that's what capitalism is all about, so I can't blame them.

Default meh...time to start a new forum. Forum is dated anyways...

Although the archives themselves are gold and have good stuff.

Default I'd like to take all my posts and move them someplace else...

More power to JET, but I feel kind of used. That said, I'm over it.

Default idc one way or another.

if the format stays the same you wont either... however it turns into pop ups, and hotlinks and embedded key words it will be the death of aw.

Thats true, but look at it this way. The collective knowledge here is free to us, its not like we're paying for it. They set up a business, and since we dont pay for it someone else has to, right?

But yea, like you said hopefully the moderation doesnt change much, but the deal breaker would be tons of ads and popups.

A smaller forum that I like is fourtitude.. although the formatting is different.
