AdminAddict running on IPB now

I just happen to stop by Admin addict and seen it's been purchased by Bob Schwartz ( @AWS ) and he's converted it over to IPB.
I like this style better then when AdminExtra converted to IPB.
I'm not really an IPB fan, I hope he can turn that site around.
I had talked with Nick about buying AA and merging it here, I was a little short on funds with it being the end of the year, so I missed out.

Good luck Bob, if anyone can bring life back in that site, you are the guy!

 

Damn are you serious? How much did it sell for?

 

I have no idea what was paid for it, I know what I was offered so I have an idea but it's not my place to post such info.
I hope Bob got a good deal though since the sites been a little dead lately.

 

Ya, its been real dead. It used to be one of the most active forums on the net. Nick was a good owner, he probably lost the motivation to continue on with the forum. Things like that happen all the time though.

 

Congrats on the purchase Bob! Hope it takes off for ya.

 

I'm just happy to have some life in this IPB section :p
I do like how AA looks right now, is that a free skin, paid or custom?
I just really have a hard time enjoying myself on an IPB forums
I don't know why.. I'm guessing it's several reasons.
I LOVE Ip.Content though.. really wish vBulletin had something like it that worked as good as IPB's script does.
I also dig the admin search, so glad xenForo has something similar.

 

The style is the IPB default style. Looks a good site, will join up later.

 

Really??
I didn't know they updated the default style.

 

That's great bro. I was an active member of AA in the past. I hope you can breathe a lot of life into the community, it really needs it. There's a ton of content there so I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be so hard to get the ball rolling again there. The skin is real nice as well. Nice work. I wish you best of luck with AA.

 

I think it was updated with 3.2, could be wrong though.

 

I am a member of that site. Surprised to see it acquired.

The thing that turned me away from staying there would be the intrusive spyware that brings up popups. I had to clean my computer completely to continue browsing.

 

Wow, yeah looks a lot better. I still had it on my list of bookmarks, but rarely checked as it was dead for quite some time.

 

The last time I went there, I saw a popup asking me to download something, while on AAddict's old vb3 site.

After that, I was afraid of going there again... Even though I have some sales threads I need to check.

 

It may of been an advertiser that slipped by which was in place. I know Nick wouldn't of allowed that on purpose.

 

Ya, I never got that error either and I have a spyware program always running and checking for spyware.

 

That's great news. IPB is fantastic! Xenforo being a close 2nd to my favorite software! IPB is my favorite

 

Site down for anyone else? I wanted to stop in and see if things were starting to pick back up again.
