sounds perfectly normal - and not anything to be cautious about.

Perfectly typcal buyout b s. Money is no object, it is the only object. Sounds to me like a couple of guys who would buy, build a case for value based on actual advertising revenue and value of cards sold thru BS&T, then sell again. This second buyer will get it in the shorts as we would all be long gone. So Leon could repurchase at pennies and rebuild. I am in, Leon

Just kidding. I like this forum, there is nothing like it anywhere

There is no number, It isn't for sale.

I am not a lawyer so there is my disclaimer but Non competes are valid and enforceable, most times, if there is a payment for it. I have had one before and it was enforceable because I received a payment in return. Another friend in the same situation wasn't paid and didn't have to abide by it. I think it goes state by state.

But regardless I enjoy moderating the forum, along with the other guys, and don't plan on leaving (or selling it). It's fun most times and I greatly enjoy the hobby. Unless what the guy says is interesting, if he calls, I won't report back. I would rather get back to talking about cards.....just thought it interesting so shared.

I've ran a busy forum as an admin and moderator for appx 4 years. It is not simple and there are so many different personalities that its hard to keep control. The forum was also comprised mostly of people in their 20's and 30's so battles occurred often. We also had a few dozen sponsors who were also posting regularly and often complaining about other members and other sponsors. It was tough. Our moderating staff was a dozen or so people but it wasnt enough. Very time consuming and very stressful. People don't always understand what it takes to operate one of these sites. This place is very well ran and thank god the community is comprised of mostly mature individuals.

Thanks Leon for the site and smooth operations.
