Just so we're clear, I'm putting money towards it so someone else can buy it & make profit? Not sure what I'm getting out of this deal that I'd get it some private company bought it on their own.
Yes, seems like we're supposed to fund these guys buying it so it will supposedly be "cooler." They're going to have the "current writers and editors" own it, but they're at odds with other writers and editors, it seems.
Just to clarify a single point here. There are no writers or editors at odds with eachother. Brian is doing this in an attempt to buy it from Jason. I'm moving on to other things regardless of what happens at Hackaday. We're all super good friends and get along great.
As for the rest of the thoughts and concerns, well, not my problem!
I read that you had come to an impasse about how the site should be run with a competing group also seeking to acquire the site.
I didn't mean to imply anything too nebulous, and of course defer to you on it...you guys wrote it in the first place, and I simply meant to reference it.
I guess the possible future owner will want to keep some profit for himself instead of investing it on the website and he will probably want to avoid any controversial subject. It means less budget and article less interesting... This is what you get if some private company bought it.
Nary a buck was given.
