Shan, thanks for coming here and posting this for everyone. I hope this will put to rest some of the crap about this, and I hope you'll hang out here.

Good to hear you are back on two.

So what's going to happen to TWF now, VS is just letting the place die by not doing anything at all and adding more ads. Is VS falling apart or something as well if Jim is gone? I wonder what will happen to TWF if they collapse.

No clue. There is a new guy replacing Jim and I don't know the plans. I don't own the site and I have no responsibility to it. I've removed my emotional and sentimental attachment to the site so what happens is what happens. Doesn't matter to me. [Feels good to type that.

Anywho, I will post what I posted in the mod's corner - verbatim. I posted it there first for the mods to see, now I'm sharing it with everyone else. I wasn't going to post it here but after the great response y'all gave me, why not? I do intend on posting it on TWF. I'm posting it here, first.

I figure most of you will continue to spew your vitriole against me, that's fine. Like I said, I'm sleeping just fine. It's easy to insult behind your keyboard with less than the entire story. So if you must, carry on that pointless charade.

On a more positive note, I fixed the brakes on my SV so I plan on actually riding again. It'll only be to and from work, but it's riding.

Thanks for the info. I figured you had to have some sort of agreement to hang around. But seriously, now that you're back on two and have no reason to be at the other site, hang out here!!! Most of us will welcome you. The others will eventually get over it!

And by the way, you can cuss over here, no need to censor yourself.

Yeah that expired in August 2007, so since then I've been hanging around on my own free will. And I'm leaving on my own free will giving VS a two month transition window that is ENDING! w00t!

I would have stayed there if it wasnt for all the dam ads and crap. VS is just a company out looking for money and not caring about whether or not they screw up a forum. I always thought u were doing it cus u were getting a share too. Now that I know ur not u need to get ur ass over here and hang out like old times

I had to go back and check my old emails. Actually it was August it was sold, and 60 days past that. So I was under contract to stay until sometime in October.

A cut of the ads?

Heh, I wish. Any ad revenue we had before VS was always immediately re-invested into the site because 1) We needed it to survive and to a much lesser extent 2) putting it back into the site meant any "income" for tax purposes was reduced lessening the tax burden on me and the other two partners.

Interesting how learning more can change some opinions, isn't it. (That's a rhetorical question.
