And then this happened

I just found this thread. We've been discussing all of this at the other place, so I'll just echo what I said over there-Mike is perfect for this. I hope the deal gets signed and sealed.

If so, best of luck with it Mike!... and best regards to Frederick who started this crazy community of grumbly nutbags (like me.) If not for Frederick, I wouldn't have known a lot of people who I now genuinely value (except Jay Asher, of course.) Despite all of the acrimony (yes, some of it was deserved) I believe in debt and acknowledgement, and I owe a debt of gratitude to Frederick, who gave me far more than whatever he might have taken. Now I've acknowledged it.
 
Super glad to hear it. The issue has always been, although hard to quantify and seemingly pretty serious from some of what appeared to be true from the facts posted, one step away from being fixed, whether he was at helm or you. Whichever it ends up being looking forward to it all being sorted! It's a great forum and he started something really fantastic, nobody here ever really wished him ill.
 
FWIW ...before any legal documents are signed Mike said:

I do believe that Mike's intentions are not exclusive to take over a moderately profitable forum in crisis, from what he wrote, and from what my gut tells me, I believe that ultimately he is motivated to offer Fred a way out of this self-inflicted harm.

To sign these contracts requires solid due dilligence and this does not happen in a few hours, it will take a few weeks to sort all that out.

I am reasonably confident that Mike is not taking advantage of this situation for hawkish investment reasons.
 
Thank you, Mike! For doing this, and for all your wonderful products and videos.

Coincidentally, I had begun a project with Realivox Blue singing all 30+ pages of the original post, accompanied by the Ladies and RealiBanjo, as a way of working my way through my trauma. Thanks to you, I have abandoned it. It's time for me to move on.
:faint:
 
I'm glad to hear that VIC will continue on. I can't help feeling like Fred may be losing something he built simply because of a mob like reaction to what may have been nothing more sinister than some bad business decisions, and a vision that wasn't quite in alignment with membership. Either way, I appreciate what Fred built here, and wish him no personal ill will. Good luck moving forward Mike.
 
Very happy about the news! I was already checking other forums, but now I'm staying.

It must have been a really tough decision for Fred. Best wishes to Fred and Mike!
 
Good news! I did register to The Sound Board and plan on being a regular member there. And with @mverta recommending RedBanned that place too is a no-brainer for me. But this news is what I needed to continue to be a regular on Vi-C.

Now this is a problem I think not mine only. Am i going to be a professional forum member or a composer :(

If I ever start to delve into conversations that don't apply to music (i.e. like today with AI), I usually take a break for a few days. The internet is a distraction machine.
