Welding Web Down?

[Mark @ Everlast]

In other words, Informa still owns the site. They are the new owners of Penton.

he would not divulge who the new owners were specifically just that they were treating it as a website not a community so were not really interested in keeping it going - after he convinced them to spend the $$ to restore it he said they seem to be more interested in getting things back to where it was. im not familiar with penton and he did not say what other site went down that was more of a crisis

Doesn't really make sense to me at this point. Informa said they don't own it. But according to the website, Informa owns HVAC-Talk. Robb M seemed to indicate that WW is owned by the same people as HVAC-Talk as they had restored that site and WW would be next. This is the owner that was just going to dump WW and shut it down when it was down, but Robb M convinced them to keep it going? Then when I came around offering to buy WW, I was told it's not for sale.

i guess robb convinced them to keep it running, not sure why or how he didnt say nor did he elude if informa was the people he was talking about and he never mentioned HVAC-Talk by name jsut that some other site that was deemed more important got higher priority and yes it was robb that i corresponded with. Why they would want to jsut let it die would mean its not a huge revenue generator for them for keeping WW going and maybe why they didnt care. its hard to determine when everyone is vague.........

Yeah I for one would be at least willing to listen if somebody is offering to buy a site. :confused3:

 

[searcyfarms]

i dont think he wanted to give up the job, he is a contractor so its his paycheck and if someone else took it over ............

Yeah I trust web designers about as far as I can throw them.

Oops. Sorry Muhammad. I guess that should have been in the Quotes and Sayings thread. My bad.

Perhaps Robb M and the fact that you were interested in buying it was enough to convince them that it was worth keeping going?
