Admin-Talk's change of ownership

As you guys already know I have been very busy with my life and haven't had any time to contribute to Admin-Talk, selling Admin-Talk was something that never came to my mind because I knew I would eventually find some time in my busy schedule to come on here and contribute. But sadly I couldn't, I have been very busy with working, and getting my education.. so running a forum was in the least of my worries because I was busy with things in my life that needed to be done. Life always come first no matter what. Specially at my current age I cant risk anything as it will affect me for the rest of my life.

Running Admin-Talk was one hell of a experience for me, it has been my most successful forum and I take pride in starting such a quality forum. Sure running it has had its ups and downs, but I regret none of that. There has been one person who stood beside me since day one of joining the staff and that person is @Ashley.S., sure we've had our arguments but at the end of the day we've always had a mutual respect and understanding for one another and just wanted the best for Admin-Talk. He is a great guy, and I love him like a brother. I would like to thank you @Ashley.S. for all that you have contributed to Admin-Talk

Once I made up my decision to sell Admin-Talk, I was worried about one thing only, and that was finding the right buyer for this forum. I didn't want to hand over all my hard work and pride to someone who just wanted the forum to generate revenue from it and not really have much of a interest in the community and it's members. Never did I expect to be contacted by @Brandon Sheley who is a well known webmaster with a lot of experience behind is belt. He shares the same values as me, and I couldn't have been more happier handing over Admin-Talk to him. So I would like to urge everyone to get to know Brandon, and help him get situated in this great community!

Your very welcome @Kaiser , I look forward to staying here as best I can and working alongside the legend that is @Brandon Sheley. I just hope that the place does not change too much over the years and get acquired by some big company like many other forums do

Your'e welcome, and Im sure you can do it Brandon.. im done with foruming, but Ill be coming one here and being apart of the community as best as I can.

I don't blame you for being done with foruming, it is seriously just filled with too many kids and immature people. There are not many forums left that have a decent and mature member base around the net these days either

Cool, good luck Brandon! Good to see you're not going to merge this into General Forums

I am brand new here and I joined because I know Brandon and knew he just took over the site. You all will love Brandon and how he operates. he is a nice down to earth guy and really has a passion for what he does. Kaiser I have never met you, but good luck and you have put together a nice community here.

Thanks revhtree, and yes he is a great guy so I know Admin-Talk is in good hands.

I'm glad Admin-Talk is going to a great new admin, but I am sad to see you go
I hope you stick around on Twitter, I'd like to tweet you occasionally

Thanks lucas, I'll be here on Admin-Talk and Twitter

Best of luck with everything.

Owh! I was planning to buy Admin-Talk eventually... looks like Brandon Sheley was ahead of me.

I was going to ask for a sale in feb or march, but it didn't seem like Kaiser was in a "selling" mood.

I already know Brandon; his expertise is far beyond what this thread inferred.

I mean, the guy founded Alien Soup and became one of the largest forums on the internet until the tenure was overshadowed by others. His site got so much attention that his graphics design has gotten him "vBulletin board of the month" (correct me here if you wish, Brandon).

I see a redesign on the horizon.

Oh man, I forgot Jason was the guy that founded it. Thanks for the correction.

Nice cash in at the end. You sold the support site right at the time vb4 came out. Nice timing on that one.

Best of luck to the new owner.

Sweet new site Brandon!

Welcome and good luck. You look like a nice guy to me

Welcome to the forum, Brandon. Wish you the best of luck! Good luck with whatever you decide to do, Kaiser.

Congratulations on your purchase and best of luck to both of you on your future goals.

(Wish I knew the place was for sale. LOL )
