New management discussion

I'm still using Keyclone - have for years. Just because the site doesn't need the money anymore isn't a reason to kick the link. Rob's product still works 100% and I like it because I have no doubt at all that it's safe with no risk to my accounts. He's brought something very valuable to boxers, and it's sad to see it kicked to the side.

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 The site is now under new ownership and that negotiated agreement is no longer valid.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.

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?

I still plan on being around, the community is important to me, and I read the site pretty much every day, although I don't post much. No one wants to hear about "in my day I took on 10 baddies with no multiboxing software while brushing my teeth!" 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

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

Don't be so quick to believe everything you read.

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:

Okay you're all wondering what I'm going to do to the site now that I own it. I get that. The answer is nothing. I'm not going to do anything to the site you've all been working hard on. I removed some things that were driving money at Ellay because they don't make sense to keep. Some of you understand that, some of you don't, that's fine.

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)
