Advrider under new management
I am also a member of advrider where I keep an eye on trip planning often refering people to here, olds cool, shiny things for watches and bicycles and finally CS&M where I watch people abuse each other about politics.
It has recently been posted up that the site has been sold to a large company called VerticalScope who according to some flood their fora with adverts and use heavy handed moderation to get rid of anyone whose posts might upset their advertisers and there are many doom and gloom predictions about the future of the site given what has happened to others they have aquired.
If some or all of these predictions come to pass I wonder if there is an opportunity for the HUBB to expand its membership and pick up some of the people who might give up on advrider, it could mean expanding the site's remit beyond long distance motorcycle travel with more technical and other interest sections, watches and bicycles sounds good to me but what do others particularly Grant and Susan think?
You might want to pass on a church, state and money section though, it can be a little raucous.
