Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t, sh*t, sh*t. **April Fools joke.. derp!**

[sckego]

Fuckit, dude.

Let's go riding.

 

[hophead]

If anything should be deleted it should be this thread. Let Budman make the announcement of what's going on. Instead of vague posts and assumptions.

Totally agree

 

[The Reaper / mr.droopyx4]

The title is still visible in general, it's "Company wants to own barf... ** I AM NOT SELLING**" The "I am not selling" part was added later. The guy isn't too far off from retirement and the sale might allow for an early retirement, or perhaps make life a little better during retirement. He's crafted something pretty cool that was/is fun for lots of people, how about we give him something back and not give him shit for it? How about wishing him congratulations on completing a successful project? If you wanna start your own little purist forum fo da b-reel homiez, knock yourself out.

I guess we are jus brought up different. Where i come from, at the end of the day, a motherfucker only has two things in this world. His nutts and his fuckin word.

Im not knockin budman at all. Im not knockin him chasin a dollar bill. Fuck, for all we know, the offer he accepted could be substantial enough to keep him and his family happy n comfortable for a very long time. And im definitely very grateful he created this place n allowed me to experience it.

However, wether youre the creator of the titanic, or jus simply the man at the helm, it aibt jus him on this ship.

Tim didn't do anything wrong here. If they didn't want the cat out of the bag, they'd have deleted this thread straight away. It's a little science experiment and Tim is now the scapegoat while some folks sit back and examine the reaction. Somebody accidentally reveals the new iPhone, gets fired for it, then all the ensuing drama drums up hype for the new iPhone.

So... the gang-bang is off?

Basically, I'm saying you're lying, or possibly you don't know yourself. Someone offers you $100 for your bicycle and you tell your friends "then I tellz him hellzno, iaint sellin ma bike to nohbahdy". Then the guy comes back with twenty large and leaves with your bike.

 

[KrustyKruser]

wow. I'm still skeptical that the site was sold since I just saw that there will be a Vintage forum added to the site. I'll just see where this thread goes. maybe there will be a new forum created for us to hang out at.

 

[Lester Green]

Provided that this is all true and Budman has sold this place, bought a yacht and is currently sailing to his own private island that he bought with all the cash.

This will go down in the that'll learn ya file for sure:

Never start a thread saying that "I'm not selling out".

In the end you'll probably have to eat those words because everyone has a price. period.

Apparently they met Budmans. and more power to him, who the fuck can blame him. i sure don't.

 

[angelsndevils]

Shit I guessed it on post #2. I saw it coming the minute Budman started that other thread. I'm glad he sold it. He deserves to get paid and retire so he can enjoy life with his family. When I read budmans title, what I saw was..."I'm thinking about this deal and this is the best way to test the water without jumping in and finding out it was gas." I think he got enough support from the "Yays" to offset the "Nays". Could you imagine the flame fest if he had just said "I'm gonna sell but do you think this is enough?" Maybe he's gonna use the money to run for governor of ca so he can make all the laws we need to enjoy riding for a long time to come.

Enchanter knows how I feel about him because I told him along time ago that I think he's great. Shit I dont care if it is sold but I hope Tim stays. It can't change that much unless we the people start acting/ posting different.

 

[Kornholio]

Tim, if you decide to bounce give me a call sometime. I always found you to be a straight guy in meat space.

 

[daventura]

Well, if it's over, it was a good run.

Everyone I know in the Bay Area is because of barf.

I've been hanging around here for more than 10 years, and barf has provided me with some great laughs, and some good friends, and way too many tears.

Most of us that hang out regularly don't really need barf to necessitate social gatherings and such, but I'll be sad if it ends.

Dennis...do what you've got to do.

And Tim...good luck in your next high paying moderator position wherever that may be.

 

[The Reaper / mr.droopyx4]

you've never changed your mind?

On sonethin of this magnitude, that i clearly made it a point to say, "IM NOT SELLING"? Nope.

Again, im new here so i really have no dog in this fight. I jus remember reading that thread hemade n thinkin, hmm.... this place n that guy are cool as fuck. I respected his integrity on tge issue. But like many have said.... everything has its price.

 

[rodr]

Well.

I guess they upped the offer.

Everything has its price. Looks like barf is gonna have a lot more ads soon, and otherwise be run like a business.

Good luck to you Dennis. I hope you made out well. As for me, I'll be getting more work done during the day.

IBTD.

Do we have to start wearing pants when the new owners take over?

I was going to ask if we GET to start wearing pants... it's been super awkward to have to drop trou to the ankles at my desk at work every time I want to check the latest sink drama.

 

[daventura]

TheSteveCo called...and said where's my motherfucking cut?

 

[F4iChic]

Whatever Budman has decided is fine by me

But I do find it hard to believe that he would have sold BARF after being so adamant that he wouldn't.

Then again, he has the right to change his mind. Who knows, if they offered him a million bucks, then I say good for him

I do find it strange though that Enchanter was the one to let the cat out of the bag. Mind you, he didn't, it was totally cryptic to start with. Was only when Heather responded that it became about BARF being sold (from a mod that is)

Yo Budman, whatever you have decided, it's all good man

 

[clutchslip]

Out with the geezers, in with the tweens...

Well, there's a marketing strategy, if I ever heard one. Get rid of the people who buy big ticket items and have disposable income for those who buy sour-pop bubble-gum and leach everything else.

That thread suddenly was (re)moved?

Well, that is telling.

I'd appreciate it it if you wouldn't use that word in this thread.

Oh, I see.

True dat. I'll bet 99% of BARFers would have taken the first offer he got!

Awesome - I am FINALLY a 1%. Damn, it took me long enough. Where's my California MC patch?

 

[m_asim]

Im not knockin budman at all.

Yes you are. Don't take us for fools, newb.

Velcro instead of zippers, you can drop your drawers or pull'em up in 2 seconds.
