So I'm guessing the new owners are sticking with all the spam banners at the top instead of the paying vendor banners we have always had?

Banners aren't really my department. Please reach out to your IB Account Rep, and they can give you better clarity than I can. I know we have re-written our banner product to allow individual forum targeting for you guys.

cheers,

Whenever anybody says "<something> product" (in this case...banner product), get ready to put your hand over your wallet and start looking for a way to kill the visual spam.

Xviper once stated that the profit was $100,000 per year, capitalize that and you might be in the range of $500,000 sale price, just a guess.

Again with this...why do people even care about the money? s2ki.com has been...and continues to be a resource while building a strong online/offline community of Honda S2000 enthusiasts. We live in a capitalist society yet folks seem to put their noses up if anyone makes a dollar or two...

I shared this YEARS ago and simply stated that I could care less if cthree made $5 million a month...as long as s2ki.com is online and available, then God Bless.

I sincerely hope that the previous owners of s2ki.com sold for a good price, they've earned it. While we have all contributed the time to post images, video and text (content), the original risk, organization and will to keep s2ki.com alive and in good order was not done for free and should be compensated.

Sorry to get so hell bent on this...but it's a thorn for me and folks need to worry about themselves and not anyone else's wallet...

In order for the site to sustain itself sponsors and advertising is required. The servers the site is hosted on are not paid for maintained and powered 24/7 without someone paying the bill.
