Wow. Yellowbullet sold out.

2005 HRM was a scream

Time to revive HRM

[Monk]

Steve's Nova Site sold out several years ago when I was over there.

Lots of members were pissed.........they never allowed advertising (never understood that).
Steve would take Paypal donations to keep site running.

After new ownership everything pretty much stayed the same........with the exception
of new advertisers......which I though was ok.
Several mods got changed but other than that still a good forum and still growing.

It's not personal.......just business.

Sign of the times.

You mopes just don't get "it." "They" bought YB -- the Internet's automotive suppository (and cultural repository of brotherly kindness and elegant social etiquette) -- so "they" could ensure that the "secret" about "Street Outlaws" never gets out . . . .

All hail Big Chief . . . . Follow the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

The sites I have been a part of that sold to autoguide went rapidly downill and then only marginally recovered because the members felt betrayed by the original owner. Not to mention all the additional advertising the seems to go along with it that sucks bandwidth and generally irritates people.

I wonder if those guys fathom what could happen the first time the whole membership gets good and pissed and decides to socially engineer a denial of service attack with not just them but their sponsor-vertisers?

sad day, really. I figure it was well over 100k... otherwise, why bother selling it?

somebody mentioned over 3000 members viewing the thread... in it's short, what, 4 hour existence? Yikes.

I'm not a member (that I can remember), stay out of TOBT for the most part, but I've been in the tech section a LOT. Hope they don't get that trashed.

Looks like the new guy is going to fit right in, he's holding his own, I got to give him that.

I dont want to have to go through nine yards of shit trying to read your posts. I could give a rats ass about what you really post. lol This is the culture of the site, I really dont care to change it.

You want your porn you have it...

You want to swear like a sailor? go for it.

Want to tell me off, looks like you already are.

I just read thru a few of the postings on YB. I'm really happy that we don't roll that way. There may be a place in the world for that way of doing business, but not in my world. Glad we can be civil.

the language keeps each other going, it just shows the hobby is difficyult for more than not admitting. I grew up with it, went pro instead.

every other word does not have to be f*ck sh*t ass p*ss or c*nt.

whatever floats their boat, old maine saying.

I could hang out there and not be bothered.

My understanding is that Monte does well for himself without the bullet. So to put some money in your pocket AND lose what has to be a giant pain in the ass.....good work!

Some of the posts imply well into six figure territory.

if thats the case...good for him! If that happened here I would be happy for Chad and Brian as well.

[TheSilverBuick]

I popped in and out there for a few years...not my kind of joint...The guy who sold it seems to be unpopular at the moment...I hope he made a few bucks...I read that the sites estimated worth was 33K or so...this is a bad economy..money talks...

It's 18 pages and hasn't been up 2 hours yet. Lot's to read. Not many happy campers either.

Just wait until it happens here, I'm sure sooner or later someone will make Chad and Brian an offer they can't refuse.

[BigAL]

There is a thread over there going on asking the new owner questions about himself, it is worth the read. YB at its' finest.

Well Monte did say the new owners weren't going to change anything, they want to keep it the way it is. And Monte will still be running the YB Nationals, that's still his puppy.
