While I don't think new ownership is a bad thing at all. The site just doesn't feel the same having everything look different. When I first heard what was going on here I was kind of disappointed, but maybe having some owners who are actually around and active (Unlike Wade) will keep the site more active and keep new things always coming to the site.
But, it does feel a lot different with the new look and new things going on. That is the part I don't like. But, I am eager to see if the site get's a little more exciting or active.

i feel the same. i dont even want to pick on people anymore.
the site is being changed to bring in more traffic which could be monitized this is why we are seeing a slight influence of sport compact import type deally on this site out of no where. reason for that is that market is alot bigger in canada and north america in general. if you used to read PAS Mag say in the mid 1990's it was all about stereos and cool/loud installs......what is it now? its a rice magazine with nothing but over sized body kits and even more ads for even bigger body kits...........why this happened? MONEY. At some point someone realized that there is alot more money in sport compact than the stereo.
no one really cares who or what your core audiance is as long as there is a steady flow of some sort of audiance. u will see this happen with this site, registered members is a good statistic but uniqe visitors per day/month/quarter is an even better statistic when it comes to online advertising and this is where this site is going.
i personally dont give a as to what happens to the site or most people on it, but its still sad even for me to see it turn into this.

Pick on people anymore? Wow, you must have been one of those great contributors. Regardless of what the site is being changed for, your last sentence of “i personally dont give a as to what happens to the site or most people on it, but its still sad even for me to see it turn into this” voids all of your concerns and shows how much thought you put into it all.
Good luck, enjoy the net. You wont be enjoying it here. I don’t have patience dealing with childrens, traffic or no traffic.

about picking on people was a joke
the rest i just spoke my mind. didnt mean to offend anyone. atleast i wrote it like i see it and atleast im still here. i understand this site is now your new venture and me not carrying about what happens to it might have offended you in more way than one. Nontheless, good luck with it, it IS your site and no one is in the position to tell u if what u are doing right or wrong, u will see for youself in due time.
appears that many people are alrady enjoying the net........instead of enjoyin this site like they used to......whats another one, right?
Rick, which concerns of mine did that comment void? i dont have any concerns. It is sad b/c its a sudden change from what everyone is used to (yet to see good or bad) and at the same time i dont really give a damn b/c its just a website and life goes on.......this is not merely enough to have any concerns over.

I don't think the site changing is bad at all. What I will find bad is if this site turns into an ads all over pop ups in your face site. This is a fantastic site because the previous owner (although had limited interaction with the site) and mods cared about what was posted and what people talked about. So many other car sites and audio sites run rampant with **** and offensive material and people just plain trolling and being jackazzez.
This site was different because if someone said something stupid, posted **** or something else offensive it was dealt with quickly. Where as some car audio sites just have tons and tons of dumb threads with just stupid $hit in them. I only hope this site stays how it was and doesn't turn into an ad covered **** fest!
