hi there

the new owner's name is Sanjay. i'm pretty sure he'll be posting soon to introduce himself to everyone. (Ryan can probably answer this better than i can lol)

I basically cut and pasted this from another forum in which Sanjay had already introduced himself...this is what he said in a nutshell.

"I am building a network of forums called CrowdGather When we launch in January, all members of participating forums will have universal sign-on with their existing usernames on any of the forums in the network. As part of this, the only sinificant change you will encounter will be the move to vbulletin as the core forum platform.

Currently Networked (one log-on and username):

http://www.genmay.com
http://www.abxzone.com
http://www.spiceforums.com
http://www.lovethatsound.com
http://www.eternal-allegiance.com
http://www.graffittispot.com
http://www.bigscreentalk.com
http://www.forumbabes.com

Newer forums (pending conversion to vbulletin and/or central log-on):

http://www.alltopix.com
http://www.talkvideogames.com
http://www.democracyforums.com
http://www.theweathervane.info
http://www.metalthrone.com

I am the founding owner of http://www.genmay.com and the rest of the forums are those that I have purchased over time. Crowdgather's vision is that forums have been treated like the step-children of the internet for too long and there needs to be a way to centralize 'search', 'user-profiles' and 'messaging' across multiple forums.

Feel free to ask me any questions."


Obviously we've completed step one which was converted the forum to vbulletin. We're trying to make the transition as smooth as possible for everyone.

I am an Indian residing in Los Angeles with my wife and kids. I recently quit my corporate job in order to pursue my dream of building a big network of interconnected forums under the name CrowdGather.

I was born in Hong Kong and sent to an Anglican school, but my family was Hindu and I still subscribe to that faith. I respect humor, ntelligence and success. My sun sign is Aries, but my moon is in Taurus.

I use my first name on all my forums so it is pretty easy to find out about my personality if you stalk me across the network.

There is no connection other than they are all members of the crowd gather network. I believe eventually you will be able to login to all of the forums using your UserName from this forum, but that is only if you want to. If you want to have different names for different forums, there is nothing wrong with that.

What's the advantage of such a network if there is no connection? How do either owner or member benefit?
