It's only a fucking link jeeze.
I'm sure more people found out about both your products through word of mouth, or more importantly the "how the fuck do I multibox" thread than seeing a random link in the header they have no association with.

removing the link is more symbolic then anything.
saying so in the same breath as promoting 'community' is just hilarious
Ellay made this site for boxers who loved boxing and while he fell out of love of boxing long ago he did had some mods step in and they have done a great job. My questions is now that this site is owned by a business for profit, are the mods now compensated? Just curious
I guess I am a little disappointed we never got this thread from ellay. He built a community for boxers to have a place to call home. Sure he of course didnt have to build the site in the first place and maybe feels like he doenst owe anybody anything. I dont know I just feel kinda meh about it. I hope ellay enjoys the cash lax paid for the site. I just feel like he took the money and ran, off the back of the community he greatly helped build while having someone else take any heat that might come from it.

There are very few members that have any connection to Ellay. Most have no idea who even owns this site, most just know Svpernova runs it because he is a bad ass. Time to move on and hope the community becomes a more active, fun place to be. Changes will happen, that's just the nature of the beast. Feathers will get ruffled, again just the nature of the beast.
Lax has every right to do what he wants now that he owns this site. We hope and put trust in him that he will not change what is the core of this community, the sharing of ideas and openness to discuss everything about boxing. Let's give it some time and see where the road takes us, and as a community band together to keep it going.
Right this second? No. To my knowledge none of the mods are being compensated for being mods. That's not to say that couldn't change at any point in time. We're in a unique point because before, Ellay didn't have the cash to support paid moderators. I did this because I wanted to do it FOR the community. If Lax wants to pay moderators, by all means. The important thing to remember here is the site is no longer being run by someone who has no long term, vested interest in multiboxing. Ellay did it for the community, Lax is doing it for the community as well. The main difference here is now there is an actual multiboxing product behind the site. Make no mistake, there was a product before, it was Ellay's wallet. I don't mean that negatively towards Ellay at all. I consider Ellay a friend and we've had multiple occasions to do business outside of dual-boxing.com He was promoting and using advertising on a relevant site to sustain that site and pad his income. People do that every single day.
Ellay is still an admin here. I'm sure he's not going to stop viewing the site. Ellay built this site because he wanted a place like this to come lurk. He's gonna keep lurking. Don't think of this as Ellay cashing a huge amount of chips in and bolting for the door. Think of this as Ellay being compensated for his investment and passing the site on to someone who has the funds and motivation to do more with it.
If it wasn't Lax, it would have been me. But even I don't have the weight to put behind the site that Lax does.
