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.

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 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.

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