Just received this email-


This is Marc Austin... creator and [email protected].

TreasureNet is the oldest and most popular treasure hunting site on the Net...
we have over 40,000 members... have been online since 1994, and are
consistently ranked in the top 80,000 of ALL websites in the world. With
BILLIONS of websites, I guess it's safe to say, TreasureNet is in the top .008%!

In the next few days, there is a good chance that TreasureNet will have a new
owner and management.

This is happening because I NEED a chunk of cash - not because I WANT to sell
it. I am having to accept a LOW BALL offer out of necessity. :-(

Whatever happens, I just wanted to say thanks for visiting TreasureNet. Without
our many members and visitors, TreasureNet would not have been possible.

Thanks,
Marc Austin

More power to ya Marc I hope you got what you wanted. I hope the new owner/s are as dedicated as you were.

I learned a long time back, don't fix something if it aint broke. :wink:

Lets just hope it doesn't change too much. Just like RPG said- If it aint broke don't fix it. Thats what I was always told.

I am thinking the person who bought it is a member and wont change it much, if at all. At least I'm hoping. :tongue3:




I just hope they're not a democrat :tard:.....................................jk

HELLZ YEAH!!!! :icon_thumright:

THAT would be more awesome than you know, but he is VERY busy with other stuff...

I am pretty sure (hate to speculate) that the potential buyer will be someone affiliated with a dealer or a manufacturer....

And there goes the objectivity and neutrality...

But, whaddaya going to do?
It will be theirs to do with as they wish....

:-\

Only if they can keep members. :wink:

Agreed.
I don't see many changes happening, though.
Probably stricter enforcement of policy and more advertising, but whoemever it would be wouldn't do something silly to alienate the large membership.

You are right of coarse. Drastic changes would be a bad thing. Not to say some changes wouldn't be a good thing. :tongue3:

But, I really think we should wait for an official notice that T-Net has been sold. Rumors do tend to run wild. :D

I'm sure Marc will let us know. :)

Got the email as well. If it changes drastically we will have to try to enforce the "power of the people" idea ...........
