Internet Brands Acquires NoPistons
 

This is to let you know that NoPistons has been acquired by Internetbrands.com

I haven't been active in sometime with the exception of the management side / bills side of things and haven’t really been able to enjoy the community as I have off and on. The great staff here made it easy for me to be away to deal with real life & health related drama. I have taken great pride in knowing that I was a small part in building this great community, perhaps not to the degree I wanted but none the less, I showed up.

It will be business as usual here. Internetbrands.com is known for putting the community and site first. You can look at any of their acquirement’s and you will see they don't mess with what works. They are a professional company with more bodies to assist the staff and users than I could ever imagine having here; I have always been a 1 man operation with the exception of the site volunteers. This means there will be someone always available which is something I couldn’t always make myself. Also take into consideration IB owns the software we run on (vBulletin) and is always growing and expanding their business which in many cases benefits this and many other sites in their collective.

Internetbrands brings capital, staff and marketing to really take this site to the next level. This means more options and more opportunities for our members and it means a bigger busier site for you guys!

I am gracious and appreciate everything everyone has done for me with taking care of this forum. Enjoy it, have fun, its your home.

Side Note

If you have questions for me, you can PM me direct.

Again, thank you everyone for having me here on NP. It was short lived and I will be missing out.

:nxsmile:Wowzers? How will this affect the site? Will the email still be chock-full of spam?

Re: Internet Brands Acquires NoPistons
 

Do moderators get paid now?

Re: Internet Brands Acquires NoPistons
 

dont they own the club too... and wont that mean consolidation as there wont be a need for two sites with the same subject....

Re: Internet Brands Acquires NoPistons
 

IB does own the evil forum but they (IB): own multiple forums that catewr to the same marque. I hhope it doesnt become an issue

Re: Internet Brands Acquires NoPistons
 

There wont be any consolidation. Its not in their best interest to do that IMO.

They certainly havent spoken of anything remotely like that.

This is their forum list:

Are you going to migrate the old gallery pictures over here? I have bad links all over the inter-webz now

Re: Internet Brands Acquires NoPistons
 

moderators should strike on all forums..
arent they profiting and getting free labor from the mods...

Re: Internet Brands Acquires NoPistons
 

What happens with the photo sites? Lots of links and photos i dont even have anymore

Re: Internet Brands Acquires NoPistons

Re: Internet Brands Acquires NoPistons
 

It wouldn't surprise me if activity falls any more here and/or sponsors bail. And why wouldn't it be in their best interest?
It was easier to understand the volunteerism when it was a small-time "mom and pop" operation. I don't know about "strike", but after they bought rx7club I wondered why people worked for free for IB. Are there any other perks?

Re: Internet Brands Acquires NoPistons
 

I still haven't heard anything about the old garage archives, I'd like to get all the info mine had in it back...

Re: Internet Brands Acquires NoPistons
 

no

Late to the party.. I thought this was a joke......
