Please everyone understand it was a PAID ADVERTISING spot. That is why you didn't see links to any other software besides ISBoxer and Keyclone. They paid for the privilege. The site is now under new ownership and that negotiated agreement is no longer valid.

Das Problem ist, die Menschen lassen Leidenschaft treiben für ihren gesunden Menschenverstand. Wenn in der Tat sind sie dumm.

actually, the payment was demanded. i never asked for the link nor any link, though having it was something

keyclone was being talked about on the forums so much, the site owners felt they should make some money off it. since i wanted to support the community, i agreed. without it, the site would have had issues with funding.

please don't make out like i was soliciting for ad space. i wasn't.

BTW, if someone is trying to reach me, do not bother with d-b mail. the box has been capped and will not except any more mail.

please contact me via phone or email to keyclone at solidice com

I think this is the problem everyone is seeing. WE the community didnt know they were paid advertising, we or I thought that the links were put up to make it easier for new players and the community to find the different software sites. Its not like the links were flashy or anything or popped up after every page change.

I dont think anyone is under the impression that Lax bought the site out of the kindness of his heart, he wants a return on his investment.. I just dont like being looked at as only a consumer now on this site,even if I use isboxer. I guess my biggest question is an ISboxer subscription going to be required to post or be able to read the forums?

So it's mostly just appreciating that the style of play is still alive and kicking and seeing what is going on.
I haven't myself been able to multibox for going on a year and a half now. Had a baby, moved. I can't even find enough time in my day to go to the gym let alone game it up like I used to. I do dearly miss those days, and I felt it was quite unfair to the community that I wasn't able to continually improve us. Lax has great things planned and knowing that it is in good hands made the transition much easier to gulp down.
It's still my home, just without the responsibility http://www.dual-boxing.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

I think every one here wishes you well. Also, apparently from keylone's last post you are quite the business man.

If you go back and look at past and current other communities Lax has owned / developed you'll see that none of them (that I was ever aware of) require a subscription to access. Could Lax require it? SURE! Will he? No, it doesn't make business sense for him to.

Here is a direct quote from a larger post that Lax posted earlier for the mods and myself:

I don't think it gets any more up front than that. Sure it's all subject to change, hell anything could change.

I don't know what else to say to put anyone's concerns to rest. If we can get past the sky falling, that'd be great.

But...

Earthquakes, hurricanes, record heat waves!

The sky IS falling!

(in all seriousness - I think people are reading way too much into this)
