Anyway, I was checking out TWF for the heck of it and see that site is dead. The ads are all over, there is no traffic and all that work I put into that site wasted. I was going to post a thread and saw this one, so I don't wanna hijack. I was kinda looking forward to coming over here and railing on VS but if y'all still think I'm a POS then fuck that.

I realize y'all will never see my side of the story and I'm at peace with that if you are, agree to disagree. I don't wanna drag up old shit. I was just wondering how things are going here, but I'll gladly sign if you want?

It was a business decision. We hate VS, not you Eric.

You weren't the only one to get fucked by VS and you weren't the sole person I was talking about with that quote. There were several forums I was on that got sniped by those bastards. TWF was and always will be my favorite that was lost to those fuckers though.

I completely understand why you did it. You did what was best for your family, they are more important than us. I can understand that, but it still sucks that we lost that forum to those asshats.

Yeah, I lost any respect I had for them a long time ago. I still can't believe they let that site wither away to the point where it's basically a parked domain, now. Whatever.

Glad to hear forum ownership is still satisfying for you, it is fun! Looks like you've got bitchin' place here, you've worked hard for it.

Awesome, ever going to go two wheels again? Still making homebrew beer?

Thanks, wish we were still going at TWF sometimes. Sometimes it's better to be the lacky instead of having to make the decisions and listen to the complaining.

Dude. You havent been here since um, like 2 years ago and you magically show up within an hour or so of this thread being posted?

Nice.

Yeah, they didn't even try to work with us. I talked to the new guy some when they snagged SVRider that took over for the guy that got fired after the mess with TWF and gixxer.com. He is pretty decent. He didn't seem to have any interest in reviving TWF. Just was satisfied with it being a lost cause.

Wow... now, if only we could get Lorilye and Resin to join on over... we all came over for our common hatred for VS, not for the admin's that sold to them.

Any word on them lately? I really haven't heard much about them since the downfall of CF. How are they doing now?
