Default Another Forum falls to the Evil Empire
SBN (sportbikes.net) spent 3 hours today doing "updates" and now Stew is over there as Admin. and the premium member banners are under names...and the ad bomb has exploded

Another system falls under the control of the Dark Side...Looks like there may be more refugees looking for freedom soon

Yeah, I thought they sold out a while back. What the hell do I know, though- I haven't been there in years.

I just posted in there. Didn't directly mention this place, but we'll see how much interest it generates.

SBN has been owned by VS well before they bought TWF and CF. That was one of their first I think.

Fairly sure that it happened a while back.

I get those once in a while. I was at SBN for years. The day Rez started CF was the last time I ever visited that shitwreck...
