What a sad state of affairs...I had no idea. Well, I guess I will contact IB then.

Interestingly enough, I don't think any vendors have received renewal or other communications from IB....at least I haven't. Jason was so on the ball, it was disgusting.

So do they not surf here then or what? I sent out two emails today asking about where I should send my money. What if they don't respond? Then what?? Are you guys going to bust us for acting as sponsors if nobody tells how or where to pay or do you even care at this point? WTH IS GOING ON!!! I'M SO CONFUSED!!!!

I know I'm not and I don't think the others are either. They don't care so we don't either

Having disgruntled vendors and admins on a site this big is not good. I'm not surprised though.

I have to say my experience with Jason was great. I tried contacting the new "owners" and was given a bloated rate for sponsoring a sister site. I explained to Jason the situation and he grandfathered me in, great service. I certainly don't like the "sales business" mentality of the new contact.

I'm surprised actually no one from IB has come in here to quell this.

Cool, so the sponsors will no longer pay their rates, so they save money, they continue to offer great deals for us, and we continue to buy from them and IB can just make their money from the banner ads.

I have a feeling IB is going to "bump" up the monthly rates for vendors, if that is the case I'm pretty sure we will all leave.

That's rediculous. You can sponsor boards with twice the average online users for less than that.


Great business move....

Double? ROFL !

I'm a sponsor on every single one of their forums and I plan to pull all of them if they keep this up.
