[Archived] Site Ownership

[Stuart]

Are the contributors to the site going to be told who is taking over as owner(s)?

It was all very tongue-in-cheek at first but it seems this is genuine?

[yoda]

Mike Ellison has had to go for a lie down already

by contributors Stuart, do you mean posters or those who do the "behind the scenes" work for free which keeps the site going?

[BlueMonday]

Who owns it now. Thought Wen Y Hu had taken over but he seems to have faded away. Are Glenn and Ste B still in charge.

AND DOES GROOBY NOW WORK FOR GCHQ/NSA

Contributors!!

The forum is a shadow of the site that I joined all those years ago. It's now a mouthpiece for half a dozen people who use it as a place to bitch and argue.

Wen was handed day to day running of the site, however seems to have dropped off the face of the earth. The legal owners of the site are still Glenn & SteB as they are the Directors of BRFCS Ltd

The last time I saw Grooby, he was heading in a Venkys sponsored plane to North Korea to learn the art of propaganda...

[Ste B]

Its basically as per Andys post above as it stands. Things are happening behind the scenes, but for various reasons we've not been able to get together yet.

Are you saying if the half dozen were not here then the number off active posters would rise ?

[brinscall]

it's not rocket science. club drops, gates drop, interest drops, activity on fans' forums drop.

No, but the number of current idiots would drop

No idea, but it would mean that the admin team could actually concentrate on improving the quality of the site rather than spending their entire time hiding posts from half a dozen posters.

You said that without moving your lips Ricky,

Edging your bets with current idiots !

Expecting them to be replaced with new handles are we ?

Now you see where the mods are coming from TJ, I did not exclude anyone in that post, including me.

I love any Eric&Ernie reference

Will the hand over be seamless, or will we see the join ?

Amen to that.

[brinscall]

i know i'm new here, but after perusing the forums for a few days, i can't help but think how poor the guidelines are. There's active threads that are hundreds of pages long and many many months old. i always found from my experiences on forums that new threads pushing down old threads, is a healthier format. here you seem to force any new/would-be postings with a tenuous link to an already covered subject, into the already months old and pages long thread. newcomers are put off catching up on a topic that already contains hundreds of posts.

just why would anyone prefer such a method? it's not as if internet storage is at a premium.

gordan?

[brinscall]

gordan?

is that addressed to me? if so, sorry no, i'm no gordon.

[donnermeat]

Try hitting 'mark forum as read', then away you go.

So, was this April Fool's or is the site actually changing hands?

[K-Hod]

Yep, it is changing hands before long.

[VinjayV4]

Yep, it is changing hands before long.

Process seems slower than Venkys

Hope banning me isn't one of the first moves!

[K-Hod]

It's because of one of the parties involved being on holiday I believe.
