Ok im not exactly sure what happend, i left my pc for an hour for dinner!

kbuk - you couldn't be further from the truth. We are not just a 'fucking ringtone company', we run a LOT of other dating and swinging sites, and yes i do care about the people here, and no we are not here to fleece money at all.

Mentioning the ringtones was possibly a mistake, because 99% of people now think crazy frog, we are simply an online supplier of ringtones, not creaters of that POS so please don;'t read to much into the ringtone side icon_smile.gif

Dino - I did it and I said it wasn't the new owner doing it. I have removed it to another part of the site where it is intact - however it was clearly in breach of the site AUP and couldn't stand.

Removing of that post was by one of the existing mods, as it says, not to do with me or any of the 'new guys'. Thanks to the mod for that, and well within reason to do so. My reply still stands though, but please can we try to be a little more constuctive with the posts icon_smile.gif

I just have 1 question for Elliot

Did yourself and mark sit and discuss what you would be doing with the site before he agreed to let you have it?

Ok im crap with words.......... but ill have a go at it.

I think that the new people taking over are getting more stick than they would have if mark had of told us all his reasons and a thank you and goodbye......... instead his last post was 7th November.

We all know that the site was sold for cash ( and well done to Mark for creating a site and cashing in ) but........... the fact of the matter is, the site has become what it is through the ops and mods of the site and their time and effort...... for which i think Mark should be thanking them ( maybe he has i dont know for sure )

As many people have said this isnt a web site its a community, you will find no where else like this online.

Elliot -
you've got far more responses from people saying they'll suck it and see than you have negative. You have bought a very diverse bunch of people who live and breathe this site. Even telling people to be positive is wrong. This isn't some management team building excercise where you stress the importance of something and we'll all fall into line. Relax.

Sorry you lot feel a bit hurt, but c'mon, you wont be hurt when the £££'s come rolling in.
If you can't take the flak, as long as it is within AUP's, then you haven't done your homework on who we are. I suggest you do....

By the way, you didn't answer my question from about 3pm this afternoon.... lol2.gif

Indeed.

There we numerous emails and phone calls between Martin, Steve and Mark in the weeks leading up to this. On the 15th and 16th, Mark spent a couple of days in our office briefing us, and had dinner with Martin and Steve. As you know, he is a really nice, genuine bloke, and everything went fine.

Then thats good enough for me, I do believe in Mark and if he thought you was good enough to sell to then i am happy, Just hope you can live up to his expectations and carry on his good work

I've been a member of this site for I'm sure is about 4-5 years, and I got my gf 4 years ago, and we registered about 3 years ago, I think we must have set up a new ID about a year or so ago as we're now 31! No idea why it's says we're so new.

Perhaps privatisation will be the answer to this CRM based failing,,,,

Site's only been going for about 3 and a half years. You have been a member since Feb 2005 with your current username. That won't have been changed by anyone.

Yeah i know that and it wasn't the ideal thing to do but he might have reasons?
Maybe he felt to upset to have to let it go and couldn't handel all the pleas for him to keep it himself? I just don't know what to think, I'm just as confused as anyone else...
I just don't want to go pointing fingers at anyone yet saying its your fault or you shouldn't of done it ect until we know the full story...
Sorry just trying to think logically here over a very disturbing and mixed up matter icon_sad.gif
