Cypress to answer your question, I suppose the new parent company will have to list the sale with the SEC, however, I doubt bikeforums company name is Bikeforums.net on SEC docs. Likely Joe's MNGMT company or something like that. You should look in next quarters 10-K reports.

What browser?
Usually, you have to disable Flash and GIF animation to get that to happen.
If it bothers you that much, get a red star, though. (I plan on it eventually, don't worry...)

One great thing about the Red Star is that it eliminates the ad clutter. I hope this is something that does not change.

Joe,
a little late here, but thanks for all the work you put into BF. Your future plans don't include politics, do they?

Greetings, all. John from Internet Brands here. As Brian said, we do not have plans for any significant changes, other than providing more back-end resources. We think BikeForums.net is a great site as it is...hence our interest! 
That said, we do have a strong tech team, and hopefully our marketing folks can help bring even more users to the site. We look forward to supporting this thriving online community!
