      Don't know that you could buy it, but maybe you could download it, if you were really bored and had a lot of time on your hands...

        Throw it up anyway. Mustang World thought the same thing when it attacked GTChick01 a few years back.

            You asked what sites I might have named an ulcer after? This was a local site a local community. It started as a site for people into street racing. It turned into a giant off topic site with no direction only people insulting each other online. It was not about cars it was about being the biggest strongest keyboard warrior in the west. You had an absentee owner who basically was paying the bills on the place to exist and had not logged in in nearly two years. He wanted the headaches to go away so he sold the site. Yes it vacated quickly but part of that was anger that the old owner never offered to sell the site to any of the members.
            He's pretty spot-on, actually. What he left out was that Chris did the web hosting and maintenance, but for those two years just raked in the advertising money and left mods/admins to sort out the rest.

            We have a perfectly good racing community, but a lot of those guys get on other, more specific websites (TTT5, yellowbullet, etc) to do the race talk. BUT, they all started here. It's 2,500 friends who choose this website as their Happy Hour hang out, in a sense.

            Where Phil fails to make that particular posting not only positive but relevant is that, even though he acknowledges a main reason the site was vacated, his insolence was the deciding factor. It's like going to a doctor to get stitches every day because you keep getting stabbed by some crazy street bum outside your office: sure you're stopping the bleeding for the time being, but you really need to get that bum to quit stabbing you.

            The website is merely a number that they roll in with the other hundreds of sites they own to sell advertising.

            Yup. I even explained to him what was about to happen. My only error was the guesstimate about numbers and timeframes. We left MUCH MUCH quicker

              They would probably accept maple syrup in trade for it now.

                  We took decade old site with 20k people and stripped it like an 83 Buick left in Oak Cliff over the course of a single weekend. I've got faith in this group of degenerates.

                      But we are like internet spartan warriors.

                      What are their daily jobs, fluffer, computer programmer, D&D dungeon master, Terrance and Phillip flatulent advisor, floppy headed douche, etc.....

                      We are trained to be internet warriors from the time we first logged into this site!!! Our entire lives are devoted to e-thugging and arguing over the internet!!!!!!!

                      AAAAUUUHHH! AUUUUHHHH ! AUUUHHHHH!

                          That's still higher than I would have guessed.

                            there's no way. i can't imagine that anyone would buy advertising on a site that has almost no visitors. when i spoke to phil and his boss on the phone, they both made it sound like they didn't want to sell the place on principle. they'll just shut it down eventually...it's not worth the money to continue to host it. the sad thing is that the post history will be lost forever, and there is a lot of history on that server!
                            - Vertical Scope is an ad revenue company. companies dont buy advertisements for a specific site but for a targeted audience. So the add that a visitor sees is based off the visitor's infometrics (search history, cookies, etc ) and the theme of the site.

                            - the post history could be saved. If somebody built a parser to crawl through the site and the place the posts into a database. That database could then possibly be added to the bulletin boards DB with an administrative bot that parse the captured db, and then post as the user into a new thread. The thread would probably have to be in a hidden forum to avoid users and then pushed into an forum where it can be seen

                            It would require somebody with better coding skill than I have, and it would require admin access to do admin bot stuff

                              Jesus Christ, is this some sort of Level 5 state secret or something? What site was that posted on?
