Congratulations Avilas/Staff on winning the American Dream!
This site is one of (if not the) best put together forums on the planet. Looking forward to progress! |

so do we get a cut based upon post count? asking for a friend. I'll do it for $60k and show up for board meetings as long as they are in Iowa. |

I would disagree. This forum software is pretty decrepit compare to nearly any other forum (firearms related or otherwise) that I frequent. Even little old "The High Road" is running better forum software... Quote HistoryQuoted:

Brownell's has always been a leader in support of the 2nd Amendment. They're also a darn fine company to deal with. Putting that kind of support behind this site should pay huge dividends. Congrats on what I think is a great move.

Hopefully does not involve more lawyers looking at every topic and post with an overly critical eye looking to protect corporate interests...
Let's hope forums like BOTD and other 'edgy' subjects like some of the political content don't just vanish |

I remember all the crying and people shitting their pants the last time GoatBoy pushed a major update a couple years ago. I would think an even bigger change would be difficult for Arfcom's core demographic.
I find it hard not to agree with the guys who think this won't have a happy ending, though. I can't think of many companies/organizations that didn't go down hill after being acquired by a larger entity. |

While I can't promise anything, because the future is always in flux. I will say that we are committed to be here for many years and with control on all the day to day stuff like normal. It's time to break that mold you shared above. We gave this a lot of thought and had more discussions than I can remember concerning everything you posted. I do not fear this happening. Then again, what do I know. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted: Tim Storm of Fatwallet told me the same thing, nearly word for word when they sold out. It will play out like this... Go solid for the first couple months The site will get a re-fresh (to better serve the wonderful people here!) There will be a disagreement over how things are going, with heavy moderation Important people will get banned over trivial BS Mgmt Restructuring (For the best of the community!) Membership will wane Important News! Site has changed (to better serve the wonderful people here!)

Congrats to the Avilas.
This is the best forum on the web. Having been a part of more acquisitions than I care to recall, It's going to take every ounce of energy this site has to remain on top. Hoping for the best. History says otherwise. |

bye bye arf as we know it? The proof will be in the the pudding when the "new and improved™" forum is hyped and launched. Then it's just a waiting game to see what the small "improvements" come, and how much they destroy the original atmosphere of the board. Can't wait for the post on how the new social media tie-ins and metrics will help the forum grow... 
With Goatboy still in charge of development(?), we might stand a chance though. |
