New Site Owners!

[ENTERPRISE]

Hello all, 

 

It is my pleasure to announce that @pio & @LabRat are the new owners and operators of ExtremeHW. Please join me in welcoming them to their new role and wishing them the best of luck for the future.  I will be sure to check in and see what you have done with the place  

 

All the best,

E

[Andrew]

I welcome the new overlords.

[notyettoday]

Welcome! Glad this community will continue.  

[pio]

Thank you @ENTERPRISE.  It is our pleasure to continue the site, we can't let the place die.  It needs to continue going as expected, and grow.   So let's see if we can't make that happen within a year or two.

[bridgypoo]

Looking forward to the future!

[Fluxmaven]

Glad you guys were able to work something out. It would have been awful to lose all the info the site holds and the great community we have here.

If you don't mind of course.  It's all going to the cause anyway, but if we're going to continue the site - the folding stuff is still all there.

Congratulations to the both of you. Best of luck continuing the site. I was also an interested party. Hope you guys can figure out a way to make the site profitable, even if that means moving to a new forum engine/host and losing features in the process.

 

I'm not speaking for everyone here but if that happens, I think what people really want to have is:

 

1. Reactions and a rep system

2. Postbits

3. Rig builder.

 

Just something to keep in mind.

 

Also, I dealt with forum engines on the front and back end in the late 00s with Vbulletin and phpbb. If you need any help, I am here. I also know html and css. Additionally, if you require any graphics made I am happy to help.

 

Enterprise wiped out the Etsy store but the Etsy store was just a frontend for products made through printify and printly. If you make a new one, I still have the original graphics used for the folding t shirt as well as the images that went on the mug. @UltraMega used assets I gave him to come up with a mug and coasters, I think he may still have those designs, should you guys eventually want a store again.

 

Finally,

Thank you both from the bottom of my heart for saving EHW.

The Etsy shop will continue, no worries there.  Might take us a bit to get everything back going, but we're getting there slowly.  There's strict rules at Etsy, that's why that wasn't transferred.  We will be getting that back up, the donations button working again, and the site is going to continue AS IS for a while.....while we transition and figure all this new stuff out.

We're also already partnered with a few youtubers as well, that might be popping in to help as well, depending on their skill levels and such.

Whenever you require my assistance with the store and giving you the graphics, or if you need new graphics made, I am just a PM away. Though I suppose you could also ask Jan on Discord and he'd come up with something better

[CoolGTX]

It is good to see that @pio & @LabRat could step-up & take on the challenge of becoming the new owners and operators of ExtremeHW. 

 

Thank you @Enterprise for working to keep ExtremeHW from falling into the abyss; even when life has been challenging.
