This shit is funny to me. Well I'm still here and when i get back to normal world with my bike I'll put in some more time on this non-nazi regieme site. The sure took a big healthy sit all over that board. I wish I was there to watch the progress of OSP getting banned haha.

I don't by that... from what I've heard... he's doing a lot more posting than he used to... granted I never saw the mods side... but doesn't sound like he's OUT... and he's sure fighting for it pretty hard when he just wanted out...

Agreed. If he wanted out, he wouldn't worry about keeping it alive by posting so much. My guess is that he's somehow getting a cut. Only reason to try to keep it alive, at least in my opinion.

agreed. We'd hear from him what, once a month? then he sells out and suddenly posts up a bunch of threads?

I totally agree! I'm no expert but you can't hold onto sponsors unless you keep a high post count. Besides,if he really just wanted out,why didn't he just offer the forum to one of the other admins or mods? All this could have been avoided if he had done that. I'm sure Trip or Gasman would have taken over,right? I mean for the most part you guys were running the show day to day anyway.

Yeah until we all left. I remember going back once and seeing about 10 threads posted by Shan. Only thing that came to mind was that he was trying to keep it afloat til the new members came in. I agree with Cap'n, why else would he be trying to keep it going if he wasn't getting a cut?

c'mon. you and i were there enough to notice any spam threads as soon as any of the mods did. They were there, but they were hardly a dent in the site, let alone a threat.

Totally,plus there may be something in the contract where he got partial payment to start and the rest when it was proven viable.
