Wind-Up Purchases EvBoard - EvBoard

ToB · 03-31-2006, 04:17 PM

Hi guys, I wanted to be the one to tell you before you heard about it from somewhere else...

Wind-Up has made me an offer to purchase EvBoard that I just simply cannot refuse. I have been trying to hold them off for a while so that we can keep the board independently run, but it's gotten to the point where they are just offering more and more.

Don't worry, the only thing that will change is that all moderators will be removed and replaced with Wind-Up employees and chosen staff; a few of the current moderators might stick around, but nothing has been decided about that yet.

All Paid Subscribers should still continue to keep their subscriptions; that is one of the terms of the agreement. They are going to be offering premium content like personal interaction with the band, autographed giveaways, etc.

If you have any questions, please feel free to post here and let's have a civil discussion. Thanks guys, it has been a real pleasure, but my time has come to an end. I will be staying on through the beginning of May, when a Wind-Up appointee will take over in my stead.

Wow, I think this is pretty big news. I suppose, there'll be certain changes that are really good, such as the more interaction with the band. And the board will be more official, with the news straight from Wind Up.
What will the major changes be? Will there be any strict rules put in place? It's like a big family being given new parents...

Now I definitely want to become a paid subscriber!

I'm sorta confused, why now? before April fool's day?

Happy {almost} April Fools Day?

This is hard enough as it is.

I was thinking the same thing...is this an April Fool's Day one day early? If not, I wonder how high they are going to jack up the price for being a paid subscriber. I know I paid 65 bucks for my NIN subscription. (crazy prices but good benifits).

OMG really!!!!1111!!!

If that means they fire you afterwards then it's a good thing.

O_O aww but...but....We will miss you and I don't think it is fair to take away the mods. job! That atleast shouldn't happen!

It has some advantages but also it has it's awful disadvantages!

How much did they pay you? I wonder how much a cool board costs. Maybe they can pay you, too, so that you'll stay? And other mods?

P.S. I'll be missing you guys. And to everybody who talks shit, shut up! It's serious.
You just can't top the last year's thing, but... I'd pay all my cash (100 bucks) to own this board)).

You're not going to have to pay anything extra if you already have your account. That's part of the contract.

But I can't guarantee what future subscriptions will be like in the next little while...
