VerticalScope Purchases Home Theater Shack
VerticalScope Purchases Home Theater Shack
In April 2006 when John and I decided to embark on this journey of creating the most respected forum on the Internet, we had no idea it would have succeeded so remarkably well. There is one thing for certain; we could not have made it as far as we have without the absolute finest and most extraordinary members and staff any forum could ever ask for. While it is unfortunate for John and I that we must announce this day that Home Theater Shack, LLC has been sold to VerticalScope, we do not count this as an unfortunate event for the members of Home Theater Shack. Rest assured you will all continue to enjoy the respect and friendliness that is common to HTS. The fine folks at VerticalScope have promised us that they will continue to allow the administrators and moderators of the site to run the forum as it is, so you should notice very little change overall. The no-nonsense attitude, as well as the Zero Tolerance Forum Rules will remain. We know you will continue to support the staff in upholding the moral and ethical standards of the forum. You will still see the same familiar faces around the forum for the most part with the majority of our admin and moderators. John will continue to offer REW for download at HTS, and he will continue to support the REW Forum as a member of the staff. As for me… I will be moving on to other ventures in the industry (more later). That does not mean I am alienating my friends at HTS, or that I will be a stranger, but it does mean that I will be participating less, and I will no longer be on staff here at HTS. John and I thank you all for making this forum what it is today… the BEST forum on the Internet. We thank you all and wish you all the very best.
Please join us in welcoming VerticalScope as the new owner. We hope you will give them your support, as they respect you and this forum, and how you have built it up to be what it is today.
Best Regards,
John and Sonnie

I found out that our local brew pub down here in Tucson makes one. it's called their "cask" ale and it's a 100% naturally brewed and carbonated version of their popular draft beers (rotated out every month or so) in a wooden cask.. always on a "first come before it runs out" policy because people go for it fast... I need to check it out next time i'm thereApparently it is an old style way of brewing beer without some of the current chemicals that speed the process up. I suggested it to a friend and they loved it... Even my wife who is not a beer drinker at all loved it. It was a dark beer that was so smooth it wasn't funny. Give it a try and let me know what you think. :T
Cask ales are the bomb, and worth seeking out.
Tonight is $3 pints on the cask ales. So I think I'm going to experiment with itCask ales are the bomb, and worth seeking out.
I know I haven't been around as much lately, but I don't know how I missed this post. I knew Sonnie had made a change, but I didn't see the announcement of the sale, so "I, for one, welcome our new insect overlords..." er, I mean welcome to Vertical Scope, and to a fellow Torontonian. It's nice to see some control being moved from the deep south to north of the border. :wave:
And another interesting note - VerticalScope also recently bought AVS Forum!I know I haven't been around as much lately, but I don't know how I missed this post.

Now that's news. Surprises meAnd another interesting note - VerticalScope also recently bought AVS Forum!
The Audio Forum World is changing.Now that's news. Surprises me
IMO, that is unfortunate.And another interesting note - VerticalScope also recently bought AVS Forum!
I'm surprised they needed to sell. I thought they were doing gangbustersIMO, that is unfortunate.
If one offers the right price, anything is for sale. I believe that the forum was separate from the store but I could be wrong. And I can't recall the name of the company that had it before VS bought it. :scratch: I think they wrote BBS software to compete with vBulletin IIRC. VS followed a similar MO with auto forums. HighDefJunkies may be next...I'm surprised they needed to sell. I thought they were doing gangbusters

Lol maybe they can move away from the huddler design then. That had been an eyesore for the last couple of yearsVerticalScope bought AVS from Huddler Inc
They have already gone back to the vbulletin.Lol maybe they can move away from the huddler design then. That had been an eyesore for the last couple of years
That tells you how much I pay attention when I'm not in the middle of a buildThey have already gone back to the vbulletin.
Good Luck to all. This is a pretty cool site.
I am so happy you and John will even now be a piece of this gathering. I need to wish all of you the fortunes on the planet with your tentative arrangements. It is a direct result of You and John's diligent work that this discussion is the thing that it is today. I might want to welcome Phil and VerticalScope to HTS and I trust that they will keep on keeping this discussion as regarded as it has moved toward becoming. Much obliged to you such a great amount for making this the best gathering on the web. Great luck....
"tentative arrangements"? This site was sold 4 1/2 years ago so I think you can say the deal is permanent.
Now they need to clean house with the mods, and stop the favoritism, and kick the bad mods.VerticalScope bought AVS from Huddler Inc
