Oh where do I start,

he got money hungry, and sold the site to Internet Brands and then was suppose to hang around and still do some of his every day duties, but after he started stiring the shat he was demoted from admin to site founder and eventually to a member. he came back as i guess a "mediator" between the admins and IB and started making orders, changing people's positions. a few people left, one got a huge power trip and is still an admin. he then told us he sold the site to spend more time with his family. well unless everyone in his family has a 4x4 jeep they might see him about as much as when he was here due to him building a 4x4 online forum since he used some of the money he got from the site to buy himself a jeep.

he sold off truck pullers

he was suppose to transfer ownership of bombers brand to Dennis and Dennis would have fixed all the issues and problems that chad never would address but he re-nigged on that and then sold it out from under him to the supplier and now it has been shut down.

i think he finally got banned from here because he was coming over here and spamming the hell out of this place with links and stuff to his new forum. kind of shitty since the way he always told us that the members weren't for sale, he would never sell out and then i guess IB flashed enough zeros in front of him and he took it and ran like he was on fire, and he had his reasoning to do that too...... not to mention some of the sites that we as staff and ex staff invested in we had to almost get ugly when we wanted our investment refunded, apparently the investment made money for over 3 years and we all got back less than what we put in and were told that we were lucky to get that.

oh and the sticker machine that was paid for by Bombardier funds is still in Chads possession and he is making stickers for his new forum at zero cost to him or them due to us paying for it all. so whatever he sells them for is pure profit..... don't forget the new laptops and desktops that DB purchased for him...... i could keep going but i think it is best for me to stop.....

there are a bunch of us that got royally screwed by him, guys here that thought of him as a friend, someone that we would open our home to and not think twice about. now he is the guy that as he walks up your house you close the blinds and turn the tv and lights off to make them think noone is home..... all i got to say is that Karma is a bitch.....

Internet brands, a MULTI MILLION Dollar Corporation

Internet Brands, Inc.

I believe according to their investor release, in 2010, they had on their site a few months ago they posted somewhere between $96 and $109 Million dollars in revenue last year.....

I had been wondering the exact same thing for a couple of weeks now, just hadnt mustered up the courage to ask

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

So another question..... since the site has a new owner, when someone upgrades to premium membership or donates, who gets the new money, the multi million dollar corporation?

Yes, it goes to IB... Big deal.

Before it went into Chads pocket. No one forced Chad to sell, or turn into a complete dirt bag. He made that choice himself. IB has invested in the site, wants to see it grow and we are on better more stable servers.
