Popular Post UK SUBS Posted February 16, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 16, 2015 Hi allFurther to the announcement here http://www.mygnrforum.com/index.php?/topic/209974-new-admins/?p=3893514 I'm delighted (with a heavy heart, albeit) to announce I have sold mygnrforum.com to "Downzy"I don't plan on making a huge post regarding this, mainly due to the fact if you click on the above link it explains the general sentiments why -- and effectively the reasons for me (now officially) moving aside remain the same (family pressures etc). Downzys offer was both sincere and very generous and in terms of continuity; offer the community the best and safest option. Part of listening to downzys plan and strategy has genuinely got me excited. He's got the intelligence and IT capability to ensure MYGNRFORUM remains alive. Throughout the process he really impressed we with his strategic planning -- make no mistake, this is one VERY smart guy! I made a post a few months back not expecting to sell offering double refunds to current supporters if I did and therefore true to my word if any current supporters (never previously banned, no alts, within the last 12 months) would prefer to be removed from the supporters section, PM me and I will paypal your "double refund" -- PM only please. This offer lasts for 14 days from the date of this post. Obviously you can't then rejoin as a supporter at any stage in the future.Finally, a huge thanks to ALL admins, mods, media crew throughout my tenure -- words in this post can't do how I feel justice. I will be contacting people individually in due course. Please redirect all love messages, hate mail, fake C&D's, begging PM's, etc, etc downzys way, I'm sure he'll be only too pleased to assist!!PLEASE get behind both Downzy and RUSS guys! I genuinely believe they offer this forum a safe and happy future. I've got a couple offers online I may develop but regardless, I remain loyal to the mygnr brand and will be staying here for the foreseeable future.Love Subsy 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sincerely mean that. I wasn't active during the dark ages, but from everything I've heard this place would be gone without you. Best of luck to downzy and Russ. Two class acts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUNNER PT Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 What? are you saying you are going to double refund the supporters? (What a great investment, Mags )Subs, I don't know about the other supporters, but I don't want a refund ... if you redirect the same amount that I donate, to the new admin's account, that's ok with me ... otherwise, let it go ... Anyway, tks for all you did for this community for the past few years, Subs ...To Downzy, tks for assuming this load ... it's not an easy thing to do, I wish you the best for the next years ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Thanks for saving the place Subs! Don't have a heavy heart over selling it! It's in good hands and you did a great thing for everybody here! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post downzy Posted February 16, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 16, 2015 Thanks Subs for the kind words. Can't describe how awesome it's been to work with Subs the past while, as a member, a mod, an admin, and now the current owner of this forum. He's been one of the most genuine, trustworthy, and reasonable person I've ever had the pleasure of meeting and working with. GNR fans owe him an unmeasurable amount of gratitude and respect for shouldering the load these past several years. There are several other places on the web to discuss all things GNR (and non-GNR related matters), but there is no place like this forum in my personal opinion. A lot of that has to do with Subs and the team he's put in place that keep the lights on. They've ensured over these past many years that mygnrforum.com continues to be the go-to destination for all GNR related discussion. To anyone who thinks running this forum is just a part time job, that there's not much to it, you greatly underestimate the financial and time commitments that has been devoted by Subs and his team. In the next couple of days I will be announcing some exciting plans I have in store that will be rolled out in the coming months. There's a reason why the "Under Construction" announcement is still in effect (no, I didn't forget about it ). But for now, we'll leave all of that for another day. This thread is meant for nothing else but a space in which we can all say thanks to Subs for being a proper steward of this forum for the past several years. And for those wondering regarding donations and refunds, I will simply ad that any donations given to Subs over the past several months/years has gone to keeping the lights on around here. Having done my due diligence with respect to the financials of this place before I purchased the forum from Subs, I can attest that this isn't an investment that yields any kind of significant return (I'm fairly certain Subs lost more money than he made). No donations are being turned over to me; none have gone into Subs' pocket; all proceeds have gone directly to paying server costs. So please remember that fact when considering whether you want to hit Subs up for a refund. There is no "mygnrforum" bank account in Switzerland that he's going to be drawing from; he'll be paying out of pocket for any person who asks for a refund. We will be changing up the donation system in the coming months, so please consider the fact that there will be a lot of positives to come out of the sale of this forum. Finally, I'd like to say that if you have enjoyed this forum and are concerned that new ownership brings drastic and negative changes, please don't be. In the coming month or so we look to provide positive changes to the forum. If you like what you've witness so far, you'll like where we're going. If you didn't like what this forum has been, well, perhaps some of the changes will bring you back. More will be said about this soon, but for now, let's all thanks Subs for stepping up and being a strong supporter of this community for the past many years. Thanks Subs! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downzy Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Did Downzy buy the forum before or after today's interview with Richard Fortus broke? "No money back, no guarantee" Damn it! Hehehe, I bought the forum regardless of whether the band was active or not. There's a lot that can be done from both a logistical and value perspective. Regardless of what's happening with the band, there will be reasons to visit and support this forum going forward. Everyone will get to hear what we have in store soon!
