New management discussion

[Eteocles]

Thanks for taking the Torch and keeping a good resource site for new and old boxers alike guys ;D

My 2 cents on Keyclone though, I still use it myself because I simply don't need more. I'm not as hardcore a boxer nor a major pvper, I just do it for fun and the challenge of doing things such as instances myself(As well as not havingto deal with idiot pugs, but that's besides the point), or raiding with other boxers for fun. I really don't see the harm in leaving the link up there, just make sure people know Keyclone is more of a beginner's or simple intro to Multiboxing with little setup/work necessary, but you can get far more out of ISboxer. It still, and always will, have it's place, no matter how awesome ISboxer is

After reading this thread I actually had to go and search for this header thing everyone was so butthurt about...

It honestly took me like 5 minutes. Now that might say something about my perceptiveness or intelligence, or about the incredibly low acctraction factor that silly bar has.

Either way I've used ISB for some time now and it's a great product with a great person behind it. So I know for a fact this place will survive as long as the games we all box will.

The reactions kind of reminded me of the following:

I was an admin on a site once... It was a guild site where I used to be leader for years and years (Earth 2025). I hadn't been around for 1-2 years until they revoked my access. I never went there but when I got the confirmation email I was pissed. It took me about 1 minute to realise it was bullshit and that my absence more then justified removing a defunct account which led into me logging on in my now normal account and apologize to whoever remained. It's human nature to get instantly upset over losing something, but in the end we grow up and accept that most things happen for a valid reason. In this case, and mine, absence.

Would the link be removed if Rob was actively posting and contributing to the "community" he now so easily dismisses? I kind of doubt it as it would create a far greater outcry then the 2-3 people who are now. No matter the reasons he didn't, he didn't. Dissing the community targets everyone here, not just the new owner.

Good luck to every boxer, business wise or just player.

ps. I need to get in touch with more EU boxers! My server is flatlining fast.

I've used EQPlaynice since it's inception, macroquest, and innerspace. Seeing Lax involved only means 1 thing. His greatness will take dual-boxing.com to another level.

I've been on a huge break for awhile now. Glad to see Lax is taking things over, been wondering if that new software Joe Multiboxer is coming out anytime soon or if we are gung ho full speed ahead with IS Boxer.

Thinking of coming back and re-rolling and taking it nice and slow and 'relaxing' rather than 'power gaming'.

Thanks for all the time you spent Ellay and good luck wit your new kiddo, I too have had kids since I started boxing and I look back fondly sometimes on all that free time I used to fill with boxing - wouldn't change it for the world though when I get home from work and they are bouncing all over the place super excited to see me.

I look forward to whatever changes you implement Lax enjoy your products and passion for the playstyle and thinking outside the box.

Could have sworn that xzin started with site and ellay was the site admin but that was years ago. Never had a problem with keyclone or rob. Makes me a bit uncomfortable that this site is company owned now but whatever. Just hope things stay neutral.

Aside from his title changing to "Keeper of the Zoo", I've not seen any changes made by Lax to the operation of this site.
Sure KC lost the advertising banner at the top of the site, but that was due to revenue from advertisements not being required any longer.

As to the actual content on the site, the moderators, etc..
Nothing has changed at all.

We know Lax puts out quality products, and supports them very well.
And that he's been around the gaming industry a long time.
His involvement with this site is a very good thing, imo.

The Commons is the result of many many hours of development -- my development time, mind you -- since I took over dual-boxing.com. Now everyone on dual-boxing.com can get their videos and screenshots on the front page, the front page highlights some fresh content instead of old news, we can vote on tons of multiboxing content, list our teams and characters for all of the games we play in a unified area so we don't need dozens of "what server y'all play on so I know what server I want to play on" threads to match the "list your toons here" threads, etc.

Not sure why you guys seem worried about this community imploding. I think it's getting a big dose of exactly what it needed!

dual-boxing.com will continue to be the most open and inclusive multiboxing community there is.

The contents of these forums always has been, and always will be, dictated by those who live here. Just because the owner changes it's not going to go downhill. I barely even know Lax but so far the site has run exactly the same, and we even have the commons which is great. The sky is not falling lol
