They may try to use that as an excuse, but fire would not cause our assigned IP to suddenly transfer to an unrelated overseas hosting company. That doesn’t just randomly happen overnight. This was a foreseeable, avoidable issue that was never communicated to clients.
It’s hard to top CrowdGather trying to steal and rebrand our Yuku forums or Buzzfeed misappropriating entire months of revenue while the floundered on the verge of NASDAQ delisting, but this is probably in the top 5 instances of unprofessionalism I’ve encountered in 25 years of overseeing NikeTalk.
This was arguably the root cause of the problem: https://www.crunchbase.com/acquisition/edge-centres-acquires-quadranet--ec74070a
It’s almost never gone well for us when a partner has been acquired - Yuku by some wannabe VC fund whose name I forget, Yuku by Inform, Yuku by CrowdGather, Huddler by Wikia/Fandom, Complex by Buzzfeed, etc.
More often than not, it just turns into a strip mining operation and a talent exodus.
It was not a cheap fix, but I’m just glad to have the site back online and in safer hands.
I appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding.

That was the forum equivalent of “organizations win championships” hubris.
I hate that it came to that, but couldn’t have been prouder of the community’s solidarity.
You’d think the trolls and bigots would be the worst part of operating an online community.
It’s the tech bros.

Not quite. One points the gun, the other serves as its ammunition.

Random(not really): If your house burns down, do you still own the plot of land?

i believe so.. i also read that you have to pay mortgage on your house even if it burns down.

Well yeah. You're paying the loan, not the house.
Like we call it a 'house payment' (and 'car payment') but it's not. It's a loan payment. You're repaying the money borrowed, and that still exists after the home/car is destroyed.

Yeah, the loan is secured against the property/item - and that’s why a requirement of it is to have adequate insurance.

So I wonder whats more valuable in LA, the plot or the house itself? Theoretically, couldn't one sell the plot, payoff whatever's left on the house, if anything and just start anew?
