Congratulations Ken, Peggy and everyone! If the new owners have spent any time at all visiting this site they will know how great it is and not mess with it.

Remember, folks, one of the things that makes this forum so great is us, the members! That doesn't have to change.

Good Luck, Unless ken has changed significantly..he doesn't like flying.

He does it..... but he prefers to drive.

If Ken does go back and does the Cessna thing.. send me a pic as I want to see the expression on his face at 6000 ft in this plane

So I guess flying in the back of a FA-18 Hornet is out of the question.

Cessna.....................Spanish for Sky Pinto.

Ken,

Will our e-mail addresses or any other demographic information be shared / sold / or otherwise distributed to existing or future operations? Inside or outside the corporate loop? Or has it already?

Will we receive messages from IBI or any sister companies? Specifically soliciting us to utilize the products / services offered by them?

You have mentioned more than once that you (FTE) have been operating under the IB umbrella for some time....how long has the umbrella been open?

Internet Brands has a history of acquisitions of online communities where they have kept the flavor and direction of the community intact. This was of prime importance to us and we would not have considered any offer had we not felt comfortable with the direction they wished to take Ford-Trucks.com.
And that showed a lot of character......Not just selling to a buyer with a fat checkbook.....But waiting for an adoptive parent who wanted to keep the basic "who" and "what" of your baby......Thanks for doing that.....

Hopefully they continue to allow us political animals to spread our wings say what's on our minds and in our hearts in the "Club" section......That's where I spend most of my time anyway.......

And hopefully this gives YOU more time to spend in the gladiator pit of social, political, religious, and other controversial topical debate......

A heartfelt congratulations........

I second Steve's comments. (#58)

Ken, I look forward to hearing from you more in the forums, esp the club arena. Always interesting input.
