Adapting to the "New" LowEndBox and LowEndTalk

It is now in the clear that LEB/LET has been acquired by a corporation about a year ago, despite of the fact that it was done secretively.
Due to the change of ownership, it is unavoidable that corporate interest comes first, therefore it is also acceptable that the corporation assigns somebody or a team in place to ensure that both LEB/LET run smoothly.
As a long time reader and member of LET, I am still longing for a good community atmosphere as it were when LEB/LET was in LEA's management, but I personally understand that nothing last forever and we have to be able to adapt ourself with the new atmosphere.
Every good forum has a set of rules to be followed by its members, even under LEA's management, to keep things in order as it is a fact that the livelihood of any forum depends on how comfortable the members feel when interacting within the framework of the rules.
I believe now is a good time for the company to release a formal announcement regarding the ownership, the course and direction of LEB/LET in the future as a community forum, person in charge of administering and moderating the forum, as well as new rules for posting general issue or offers.
I do hope fellow members of LEB/LET will contribute useful posts and good offers and I do hope the owner of LEB/LET to be an impartial catalyst for the benefit of the community.
Sincerely,

Once the forum proves to be stable (we're currently devoting lots of resources with the Vanilla team to fix all the vulnerabilities) Liam will likely repost his "LET Update" remarks.
Lots of good things to come everyone.
All the other drama bullshit should go into the cest pit instead of new drama threads popping up everyday.
@black mpkossen will be posting technical blogs each week on LEB and we hope to see more smart discussion on LET in the future. Thanks for being here...
Edit is still available, hover over your post and you will see a cog wheel on the top right.
Would be easier just to show it by default.
Good luck on restoration
If nothing else it bring clarity to most things, whether you like that or not is your choice but CC are here to stay if you don't like it then piss off somewhere else instead of just bitching about something that won't change. There is no drama left in guessing who owns it now so that whole story line is dead.
If there is someone to blame, that's Joel.

Think I know. Was just joking.
PS: I've always wanted a "disapoint" button on our ColoCrossing backend -- I never won that battle. Maybe I can live out my dream and get it implemented here.
I'll be honest -
I sincerely appreciate you taking over the forums when it was being auctioned to the highest bidder and running it so well for that entire year. What I don't like is the secrecy. I don't really like the fact that your company specifically is the one that took it over because I am unsure about your links with ChicagoVPS since it was denied for an entire year that you guys had anything to do with lowendbox, lowendtalk. Your services over at colocrossing have been great and I haven't really had any problems with it other than the fact of some surprise remote hands billing. (I know what NOT to ask of support now ) I appreciate your perseverance with bringing this website back online for all of the community members despite how you are being treated.
Or change the theme of LEB too ;-)
