I am always down for new things but when a company sells, it scare the crap out of me *LOL* Even this one makes me uneasy, but I hope for the best and pray this forum remains close to what it is "just faster servers haha"

they don't post much, that's for sure, but they do keep an eye out.

As some have pointed out, once a bigger fish eats the smaller fish, the smaller is nothing more then a memory. This little fish got eaten up ( again i believe Darren worked hard to get here and he deserves every penny ) but i think its only a matter of time until SL looses its closeness.
Unless the buyer only bought 49% and the other 51% is left in the hands of the creator(s) then the buyer can; over time, do what every they want with their new purchase.

I couldn't have said it better. I knew there was a reason why I respected you so much.....

congrats on the sale guys
is there any chance now that we're moving to bigger servers that we could also get the log-in bux fixed so we dont have to delete our cookies every time we want to log in? (i know that not everyone has this problem, but for those that do, its absolutely annoying)

Respect to the people that started this, for getting paid.
I wonder how Internet Brands is going to monetize their investment though.... The sunk a bunch of money in to acquiring the site and upgrading the servers, how will they make the money back?
I wonder if Toyota is kicking in some more dough.
