Still, VS can hate us and blame us for leaving all they want. I've been through a few of their takeovers now, and I'll happily jump ship the moment they take ownership of a forum.

I tell you what - I sent out messages when I found out that fateful morning. I sent them out BECAUSE I've been through a few forum killings. In those killings people got fed up with things blinking - moving and spamalot on pages and those people just fell off the forums. Some REALLY quality individuals were then lost to the internet. You know those people... the ones that wouldn't go looking for where the crowd went, they would just stop posting.

It was an effort to make sure people knew where we went.

Even after my thread (that took a surprisingly long time to lock) took a horrible turn - I wouldn't go back. There was no reason to go back and poke sticks. I haven't gone back.

Yup - sure. I am all powerful and am making a mint off of all of my minions.

I will say, quite shocking stats though.
