Discussion of Ownership Update

[cigarsarge]

Good for Cigarsmokers since it seems that will make everybody happy. Plus it may even bring more members here from the other boards.

I've said it once and I'll say it again...Asshats need not apply.

Oh, Ken... Be careful - Lax-tuff was here before you!!!

I stayed out of the conversation for two reasons... I'm all new-like and I didn't want to say anything that'd make Hex regret his decision (thanks for the great forum!).

I've been a member of a few motorcycle boards that got bought up (in a very similar fashion - 5 or more at a time) and those boards were ruined within a year. Same story on those boards "I'm an avid motorcyclist", "This is my passion", etc. I'm sorry this didn't work out for you financially, but I'm glad the countdown to destruction has been stopped.

By the way, is he going to restore your banner or do you have to wait till you've got control again? It looks so plain up there.

It'll be intersting to see if Jon ever logs in again now that he doesn't have an investment to check-up on

The cigarsmokers site is still physically hosted on my servers. We never moved any of the code or database over to his servers. He did have access to everything for a few days, but that has been removed per his request.

I'm on the fence about those Yahoo Ads. For the most part they weren't really targeted in most cases, and really the click through rate was horrendous. I'm going to wait till all this pans out before considering other options.

Is it me or did Hex's banner at the top dissapear weeks ago?

I haven't seen it in a very long time.




I just keep seeing it mentioned.

Yeah I hope not too,

on a side note I saw cheech and chong this past Thursday PM.

Yes, I removed the caminoviejo banner ad a few weeks ago. I wanted to see how the direct link was affecting some search engine rankings.

I thought they were referring to the Yahoo Text Link ad banner that was at the top till last week.
