I think that is what bothered a lot of people - that it was not offered for sale to any of the members.  But what can you expect?  Buick owners are notoriously cheap.  He probably got an offer he could not refuse.  Who can blame him for that?

Well... It was up to him. Would have just been nice for him to ask if "we were interested in the board".  I just think its a joke in there with the new owners. Matter of fact I am surprised they haven't banned me!! Cardi or whatever its called advertising JUNK.. Pitiful.  And of course all the new members joining up at 10 at a wack.. STUPID STUPID  :icon_madu:

he was pretty much done with posting when I had joined tbs.
 
Maybe he did offer the site to some select members???   and they aren't saying???
 
just woulda been decent of him at least to inform everybody before hand and see if anybody wanted to make a offer.
 
oh well

Shane knew but Mike blew his offer off. Didn't even give him a chance to make a second one. :icon_evil:  Mike really didn't care at that point so he sold it out and it's pretty much gone now. :013:

What would be funny is to go and see if the TBs.com name is still held or if it's free. If it's free the domain name would be up for grabs so you could buy it and sell it to them or keep it for your own use. I'd almost bet a bunch of domain names aren't claimed and the sites are open for purchase. :add_wegbrech:

hehe.

I'm not sure what made them join - I think the "Why is this board so dead" thread over at TBS.com brought in a few - some are looking for Mr Wood.
