TWEAKNEWS HAS BEEN SOLD

A large online media chain has given me and offer I just could not refuse and the site will be transferred to a new owner at the end of this month.

It has been great doing reviews for you guys and I will keep you informed as the change over progresses.

Unfortuneately, the agreement states I can have no part of the site anymore and I cannot create another hardware website for exactly one year.

The new company will appoint an admin in their public relations department if they want to keep the site alive.

I have heard rumours that they might just dissolve the site into their company and just take over ownership of the domain.

And this after I invested all the money into the new TN look.

The new design actually attracted them to this site.

I will keep you posted.

just one queston: why are you selling?

if it's for the money, we could help out or something. I'd personaly pitch in some cash if you need money.

or do you not like us any more?

or are you just greedy and don't care if you ruine our lives?

Alright, it is April 2nd here and I could not do this to you guys anymore.

Yes, it was an April Fool's joke and the site is still firmly in my name and will be here for years to come.

But I do have to admit, I do appreciate how concerned you guys are and that makes me feel good, VERY good.

This site is yours guys, I would not take away what you have built.

I'm glad I found this thread late and didn't have to endure any suffering

Nate wouldn't do such a thing anyway, he's put to much work into this site to just see it bought out and destroyed.
