    Congratulations @Brandon Sheley !

    I have seen how capable you are running forums and I have to say I look forward to seeing this forum flourish and continue in its greatness just as it did when @Kaiser owned it.

    Good luck for the future :)

    Do you plan on keeping Kaiser and admin on the forum still? Just a question as I'm not sure of the whole deal you both made.

    But again, welcome to the community and I see your already making progress on restoring the forum back to where it should be! :)

    I purchased all rights to the forum and domain, still waiting to get everything transferred over so I can start upgrading scripts and heavy promotion. :love:

    I haven't thought about what to do with the staff but I generally only have one admin on my sites with supporting Super Mods that have the same overall rights as the admins. (spam prevention, forum management etc..)

    Well I don't know if I have a "plan" or not..lol
    I do have some good ideas, just waiting for everything to come together.
    So far we're half way there, I still have 2 items left before moving the site to my server and upgrading all the scripts.

    A shame it's been sold. Those guys did a great job. However, it's great news for the forum having Brandon on board. Good luck with your new venture.

    Thanks guys, means alot to me. I tried my best and I've made AdminBB come a very far way in a short amount of time and made it stand out from all the other admin forums and im sure Brandon is going to continue that. Things are looking good so far.

    Thanks again to everyone who's made this forum what it is, I'm glad I was able to pick it up last month and I'm looking forward to the future of AdminBB.

    Nice, I hadn't seen that but that reminds me of the poll one of the users posted on GF one day
    http://general-forums.com/threads/should-under-18s-be-allowed-on-gf.25736/
    The user later asked for all his post to be removed saying I had no rights to his post and that he didn't sign up on my site and make those post.
    His account was part of a site I PURCHASED FROM HIM...lol
    I had to end up banning his account and had to ignore him on a few webmaster sites that we both visited at the time..
    He was 13 or 14... O.o

    Yeah, this dude seemed so shady from the start. Sorry you had to deal with that man.. But lesson learned I guess.. I really think what happened is he sold it before your offer and yours was a better deal, but he had already transfered the domain. Though, the thing you have to worry about is if someone else out there bought the same copy of the database you have for this site. I have seen that happen so many times and its pretty shitty when it happens :(

    I'm very worried about that as well. :cautious:
    I have a few alerts setup so if a copy does popup on google I should know right away.
    All I can do is keep building backlinks (easy) and then we'll out rank any copy that may come up.
    The real victims would be the users in this case, who knows who would get their info if it was re-sold. :oops:
