And we dont need any "banners" and so on to keep this board going, but you MUST keep the colors and interface of the board like it is to day!!!!![/QB]
And no Sweden...

I guess we Scandinavians are a bit to "peculiar" .
Come on Dan, we could set you up with a Viking party, axethrowing and a big blonde girl named Inga could sing valkyian battle songs for you!

And why not call it something completely new? If you sell the name they could be a bit pissed over punny names, so why not call it Zirocs Word? Chocs Lesuire parlor???

Even though Johnny´s suggestion had some "potential" I guess he might have to much of a headache in the future...

WWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW Dan! That is so unbelievable!! I'm absolutely stumped, and agree wholeheartedly with the things everybody said so far.
I'm SO happy for you, you really deserved this! Of course you should do it!! What people said is true: it's not the name that makes this forum such a wonderful place, it's the people, the atmosphere. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Just make sure, like some people said, that you be careful with taxes and people trying to take advantage of you, OK? [img]smile.gif[/img]
But WHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! This is so cool! Congratulations man!
Now you can make a world tour and meet all of your 8000+ members
I can hardly believe this... sounds almost too good to be true. Wow.

Congratulations Dan, big time....

What is in a name, it is the community that counts, we aren't going anywhere. We will follow wherever you lead.

We back you all the way.

Who cares what you call the site, it is the same forum, community etc only 1000% better.

Go for it

Lady Zidane

Because I doubt many people would choose the 'don't take the money' option anyways, looking at the responses so far.

Dan, can't add to what they are saying, but my 2 cents, heck yeah, take the money, send everyone an e-mail on what the new site is, and we'll all be back.

Dan, it would be insane of you not to take the money. Think of a few things. How much money did it cost you to register IW as a website? how much money have you put into IW building servers?? How much have you put up with ICEHOLES who told you your bandwidth for the month had been exceeded???

If you were to be paid an hourly rate for the time you have put into what would be a pretty expensive hobby, how much would you be owed?

Take the money and run. BUT remember that these corporations always start with a lowball figure. You CAN get more. Tell them you want $4.5 mill and settle for $4 mil. And make THEM buy you that Roadster. Its a perk.

You want a server?? Check into the BIG Hewlett-Packard Servers. The have like ONE HUNDRED- TWENTY EIGHT 6 gig Mirrored Hard Drives. The hard drives are worth $1,000 EACH. But the are AWESOME. If one fails the ones next to it will still be able to read any data on the failed drive.

Get your money and seriously look into them. These are corporate servers. You want 100,000 users to have access at one time??? these are the way to go. Youll be able to run your ISP and Website and anything else you can think of off of them.

This is a dream come true. Take it. It literally is the American dream. Guy starts a tiny little website and it slowly grows into a popular site. Webmaster becomes CASH MASTER OVER NIGHT!!!!

Do it dude. We will all go to any site you run so we dont care what the name is.

I couldnt be happier for you. This is truly exciting. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Whats with the bone scan bud??? You get me all excited for you and worried at the same time. For now Ill just be excited and pray for your health [img]smile.gif[/img]
