It's my birthday, as a present to me, I've sold M/A! The quick bullet points. · You are not fully rid of me · New owner is a car guy. The Who, What, When, Where and Why. Why I like owning and driving my MINI more than I like running the site. When You are reading this, the deal is done. What's Next For me, I'll be doing some work on this site. Doing some consulting. I've been delving into some food blogging, commentary and recipe development. For the site, not much will change for now. Still be the same M/A you've come to love. I’ll be working with the new owner to bring some new features, update some old ones and overall make the site better than ever! Who The new owner is not a large corporation that typically would buy an automotive forum but is a private party who has owned multiple automotive forums in the past and is experienced with the software that M/A runs on. I have known him and we have worked together on various projects over the past 7 years and trust that he will continue in the same spirit that I have built M/A on. Additionally, he is a car enthusiast and does a number of track days throughout the year so he shares the same passion for the hobby as we all do with the combined experience to continue to grow and run the website. You can find him on the site as user Sully.
Nathan, I can't tell you how much I appreciate your hard work in developing M/A. This site, and the people , truly live up to it's credo...THE FRIENDLY MINI PLACE. And to your new ventures...L'chium.
At first I thought oh dang but it sounds like it will be a good thing and you will still be around on the site as a member/moderator.
Best of luck in all your future endeavors Nathan. You've done a great job getting this place up running to become the fine site it is. Thank you for that. :beer Almost forgot happy birthday, ya old fart! :wink:
I really appreciate all the hard work and time that you put in to make M/A a place I like to call home! I can understand you reasoning and wish you the best of luck and hope that M/A will maintain everything you worked so hard to create. Happy Birthday my friend!
Thanks Nathan for MA. I know we have not always been an easy bunch, but it is a great sight thanks to you. I hope you are successful in your future plans. Now get some R&R.
Happy for you Nathan and thankful for all you've done with MA. Sad to not see the big guy at the helm.
Congratulations on the sale, good you have an opportunity to do some back-office work and get on to a new venture or two or three. M/A is great and I am sure it will remain so. It is the folks who hang around and support the site that make it what it is to all of us. Lastly, Happy Birthday, a great present to know you can get more MINI time. Don
