Default Another forum falls to the VS monolith....

Looks like svrider.com sold out a month ago...

VS has been really stealthy about the switch though, until I just opened a can of works when my donation renewal came around... And I noticed the payment was supposed togo Vs and not the old owner....

Sad, Sad days...

Wierd...I just logged in. I don't see the ads (yet)...however my screen name is back to the original one.

Sauron, is there a linky somewhere that says SVR was bought out?

Damn. It sucks to see it go that way. I thought that's why they started the membership thing....so SVR didn't die or get bought out? And they have alot of paying members too.....

Probably not so much. It's been almost 35 days since the switch over happened, and nobody noticed till I said something... (Site was already on VB and they actually didn't add any ads since probably 85% of the site were contributing members/subscribers, I think that will change now though...)

Another Member had a site called http://www.eviltwinsbk.com/ and people are already signing up there....

Let's hope not. Most of those people on SVR are used to being babysitted. *rolleyes*

Yup, that's their M.O. That's how I noticed the CF takeover -- a notification on a subscribed thread came through from an @verticalscope email address. *sigh*
