    I'm not the man for this job.

    Even though Splat, Frozen, Dex, phUnk, and others act like douches at some times, they're still what make the whole community of maggots. That's why we need someone neutral. I'm not in this for myself.

    Blurred, your timing sucks. We all know that you bring it in the bc, and that you think that you are very smart(ass), but you are as cold as a witches tit. Your lack of compassion and tact is noted. Way to kick something when it is down. Why do you think $4k/mo. is "retarded"? What the fuck do you know about this? Are you an ace businessman?
    I don't think that your idea sucks, but I think that it is a bit more complicated than you think. I, for one, think that maggots should cough up some sheckles for TGR, to keep a well managed thing going.

    TGR is a business. Loyalty, warmth and all the other things that comprise maggots don't apply here.

    Maggots are a family of friends who support each other.

    The history we lost there is unreal. Think if it was lost here?
    This isn't about TGR, it's about maggots. Remember that please.

    but what if most of tgr the business were maggots, and the guy that pays for it was a maggot, and what if the tgr business was more about loyalty and warmth and those things, which left it very little room for making money.

    Then what if someone during a really painful part of that warmth and loyalty came in and sais "these place MIGHT fuck us over, let's abandon it before it abandons us"

    Well, then the shrink in the corner would say give yourself a big hug and remember that just because everyone you loved in life left you doesn't mean you need to abandon your loves to, whoever the hell that might be.

    You're a loyal maggot. And the people who sold TGR are loyal maggots too.

    Help us build a maggot kingdom that doesn't promote the company they no longer own.

    It doen't sound like the purchase of TGR is done. Why don't we start a fund and try to buy it.

    Edit 4 - Then we can employ Frozen and The Suit too

    What if the maggots that run this place were invited to the new place and given special wristbands so that everyone would know that they were the maggots that ran this place even over at the other place? Would there still be room for a loyal warm abandonment before the fuck over? Is it really about the place as much is it's about the time and the beer? Is there really a shrink in the corner? Will I be billed hourly? Will insurance cover my meds? Who shot JR?

    Blurry, not only do you make bricks look smart, you make Cheney look friendly.

    'fess up - you're just trying to outdo the sledneck, right?

    I pretty much agree with everything, except the last line. It IS about maggots, but it is ALSO about TGR. The forum is great; no doubt. I like the people I have met, and the vibe of what goes on here. However, I also dig the TGR flicks. For the most part, they are top drawer. While, I can live wothout a TGR sticker, I would miss the quality stuff that TGR puts out (ski/surf).
    I have no doubt that maggots can muster up the knowledge, capital and stoke to create a forum, but maintaining it is another thing. No one does anything for free. After the initial love affair with the concept of a forum owned and operated by maggots is over, what will happen? Will we want to find another avenue to pursue? Maybe, the forum should be spun off from TGR, but are maggots willing to pay the price?

    Warm it up a bit, brah. For Frozen's sake!

    Since you've got a travelin' itch, I'll make you an offer, don't refuse: You handle the finances; I'll deliver the web services.

    Take up a collection from the loyal ship-jumpers, sell them your aliases, I don't care, don't need to know. I'll serve the site from Dubai with backups in Nigeria and Iran if you want complete lawlessness.

    But I ain't movin' unless I get to keep my post count & join date.

    What kind of severance package did you get?

    while i certainly sympathize with everyone's comments, i'm also sure that blurred's heart is in the right place. we know that there is a possibility of a buyout. a new owner is not likely to run the forum the same way. this forum is the way it is not because of tgr, but because of the participants. tgr merely helped cultivate it with its hands-off policy.

    in any case, since it would be a complete and total disaster to have this board suddenly shut off, i think it's prudent to have an "emergency backup" board set up and ready to go - just in case - especially if a sale is pending. i would hope that the powers that be would provide this forum's archives to the backup board, because there's a lot of value here.

    I would also love to help with or even lead the technical setup, hosting, costs, etc., but i don't want to be a moderator. that's sprite's job. (:

    The irony here is that Blurred, who judging by his post's is one of the few posters apparently on the RIGHT on this board, is suggesting a communist takeover. As a long time lurker and jong, I can only say that the irony is giving me a good chuckle.

    I hope TGR survives and continues to run the joint because I enjoy the fun (quietly and anonomously).

    I'm pretty sure the joint would fall apart being run by a collective. JMHO but then again I'm just a jong who just got a good laugh out this thread.

    So, it looks like I missed some drama today.

    Everybody calm the fuck down! Lets all smoke a bowl and relax a little.(or a beer if you'd prefer). Now, since nobody is going anywhere soon..... lets all post pics of what ever it is we love the most. I'll start;














    Ya Thats Right! I'm attempting to jack this muthafuckin thread! Beotch!

    Werd.

    So, what's the asking price?

    And how come you guys didn't let us know you were in trouble and then maybe we could have bought a few extra hats and dvds and shit?
