If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

The chump who paid whatever he paid for Transfans.net wants 800 euro's for it.

Good luck with that mate. I'll give you 5.

i never actually owned it - it was a part of the original hosting deal with a sh*thouse organisation called Gisol.

i stopped paying for the hosting ages ago as it went down more often than Ob's mum but the url was for X years.

When it came up for renewal they kept qouting me different prices and when i asked for a written quote before handing over my credit card details they constantly went quiet

Then i put the words "Gisol and Fraud" into google

Then i let it expire.

Is he trying to resell it to you? Or just 800 from anyone?

Well, once (if!) the chump gives up on selling it, I wonder if he'll try loaning a redirect to us, or even try pressuring us into renting a redirect that he'll have already set up for us 'in good faith'?


Oh, apparently www.transfans.net is worth approx US$398. However that would actually be slightly less than what www.transfans.co.uk is worth, due to their (among many sites, it would seem) lack of up-to-date-ness.

We should merchandise.

Seriously, I want a shirt that says "Shockwave did it."

Or do one big poo in the morning and another one in the afternoon. I bet they weren't even excited by and then subsequently disappointed by Star Wars Prequels. Or have a glass full of spare change near their beds. That they don't have.

F*** me silly! Theres Transfans FLAIR!!! Why did I not know about this earlier?

Im already in the process of ordering the BBQ apron, but the magnetic flair is next on the list!

Seriously though. Who the hell gets the money from the sales anyways? Or does that just go to keep the site running?

I remember going to transfans when I was in 4th grade, reading the first issue's scans, watching "Heroes of Cybertron" over and over again, that black background with the soft green text. Simpler times.

you can set a mark up on the basic cost.

i set it to zero as i am filthy rich anyway.

See how easy it is to be magnanimous and a tw@t all at the same time?
