New management discussion

Hey lax welcome to the owner. your support has been great and you have a lot of free time on your hangs (wait if the in laws not stessing you out :D) it be nice to see some new themes a few extra stuff forums can do a lot and have a lot fun of with.

Ok so his the owner of Isboxer, I could think of someone else buying it for a cash pit and we all know who that is. that bans other software. edits topics and does a lot of over stuff,

Its a Link that is all think about he could Ban the word Keyclone. He could Remove the owner ban him and delete any topics then you kick off not at a kick being removed. just my cent.

( i know this is old news now but my nets been down all day.)


And i was one of many that think that Svpernova09 owning the site/irc ((running it from 486 in his basement running windows 3.11 :D with 4mb of ram :D))

Grats Lax. It's good to know that db.com has an owner that's in it for the long term.

Very positive news for everyone here I think. I used to have a forum with a lot more traffic than db.com, but after a few years I got distracted with other businesses and it just fell apart, the mods can only do so much. Looking back, it would have been the right move to hand it over when I lost interest. I'm sure it would still be alive and kicking today.

Great job to all the mods who kept everything going up to this point, and Ellay for starting this awesome site and passing the torch when the time was right.

Considering we are a "vanishingly small minority" of gamers, is it at all surprising that there isn't an incredibly high rate of posts? I'd rather maintain our relatively high signal-to-noise ratio than have the inane "U JELLY?" posts cluttering things up. Smalltalk is what IRC/IM/in-game chat is made for, IMO.

I don't expect much to change around here, to be honest. Except for those few drama queens that regularly make mountains out of molehills. ;)

Anyway, congrats Lax. And thanks Ellay for giving us a place to hang out. /salute

what ugh said

Thanks Ellay (and other involved at the time) for creating this community.

I'm excited to see what Lax will bring to the website, i know he's capable, but i AM concerned about this website (or the coming one) becoming a ISBoxer front-shop, just like mb.com is a frontshop for pwnboxer.
Clearly that would not make it an open community forum, but simply a product forum like the one on isboxer.com (are those forums going to merge btw?)

Regarding the KC link on top, i tend to see Robs point. By leaving only the ISB link you explicitely say that this site recommends firstly this product, where really it should have a link to the list of all boxing products like in the wiki i think. maybe sorted by number of users or a star rating or whatever

Then again, it's your site Lax, your rules i guess. but it's a fine line to walk

I knew it, Lax = Steve Jobs.

You didn't have to quit your job to multibox!

grats on the transfer, keep up the good work (and forum mods).

Gratz to Ellay and Mr. Lax from me as well. and i agree with Zub's post. That is just my personal opinion take it as you wish. I agree that it would be awesome if all the dev's could work together and let their products stand for themselves, they all have their strong suits, i use keyclone and isboxer both, certain teams get is, and others get kc, and they are situational in themselves, but like i said, it would be awesome if u guys could work together and come to a common ground and let us "the community" weigh it for ourselves. but anyway, #endrant.

Cool beans and good luck with the server migration!

Come on, people. This thread is so boring.

All it's doing is pissing a few people off.

Back on track:

Congrats Lax. Do a good job! Or else!

I know I love this site and would feel a loss without it. Not sure what people would get bent out of shape over the word community. I enjoy reading things other people are doing. I try to inject my thoughts so other people can think about locks or hunters or 5 computers or Mac/PC boxing or HKN. To me a place to read and share is my version of a community. Everyone is different though.

I don't mean to be a downer, but I like that we are continuing. I am not looking for big changes. The change that affect me the most is if it stopped.

/Congrats on taking over, and may /HighFives come your way.
