What is your take on this whole world ending thing? ]]> Serious Discussion Grim http://www.zuneboards.com/forums/serious-discussion/47153-2012.html If a tree falls in the middle of a forest does it make a sound. http://www.zuneboards.com/forums/serious-discussion/47142-if-tree-falls-middle-forest-does-make-sound.html Sun, 15 Nov 2009 06:27:42 GMT Just as the title says "If a tree falls in the middle of the forest and no one is around to hear it does it make a sound?" (a little different then the title, I didn't want to type the hole thing it might have been to long)This is a very good question and I love to see peoples answers. I have started this many times in my family and it always ends up in hour long discussions. So I thought I would be a perfect thing to try to bring some life to these threads.

One of the leading networks of forum communities on the Internet, CrowdGather (OTCBB:CRWG - News), today announced that it has acquired the leading consumer electronics media player community site Anything But iPod - MP3 Player Reviews & News (ABI) from EnzoTen Media, Inc. As part of the agreement, EnzoTen Media, Inc.’s owner and ABI’s founder and editor in chief, Grahm Skee will join the CrowdGather team as a dedicated advisor to the Company’s technology oriented communities.

Mobility and the mobile demographic are key target segments for us as we continue to expand our forum site portfolio,” said Sanjay Sabnani, CrowdGather’s Chairman and CEO. “We are excited to have Grahm Skee join our team to help us manage and expand this category of sites.

For me it has been an exciting 4 years of running ABI, checking out the latest gadgets, working with manufactures on improving their products, and most of all getting a chance to interact with a lot of great people in our community forums. All in all it was always hard to call this work or a job. As the site grew to millions of page views it became much harder for me to maintain the software and servers running ABI- the more time I had to spend in an admin panel the more I missed the enjoyable parts of the site.

Faced with these issues my decision was to hire help and expand the ABI network or find the right partner that could take the weight and help ABI grow. Getting acquired by another company is always a scary prospect for site owners since you fear losing the vision of something you and your community been a part of for so long. However I was fortunate to find the right people. CrowdGather is a network of forums with a talented staff that understands communities like ABI. After I had a met with them and had a chance to see what they have going on behind the scenes- the decision was easy. I saw that it was a perfect fit in that CrowdGather could improve ABI with their core competencies and I could lend my years of expertise running a successful site.

Question: is it safe to call ABI our older step sister? or something? ]]> Serious Discussion Creative Zune http://www.zuneboards.com/forums/serious-discussion/47119-crowdgather-acquires-anythingbutipod-com.html <![CDATA[Veteran's Day]]> http://www.zuneboards.com/forums/serious-discussion/47060-veterans-day.html Wed, 11 Nov 2009 06:07:57 GMT Tomorrow, we will be honoring those who served for our country.

This type of thing rarely happens here and it affects everyone very deeply.

Before I get started, let me make it clear that I am not advocating for the euthanasia of those who are mentally retarded, nor am I a Nazi or Nazi sympathizer. Now, on with the thread!

Does anyone think that it would be a good idea for society to enact a policy where children born with genetic disorders that will make them inable to become a productive member of society must be euthanized? I can certainly see the benefits. They will never be able to add anything to our society, they will simply be "worthless breadgobblers" (Nazi terminology).

Anyone else see the merits of this point? ]]> Serious Discussion J2800 http://www.zuneboards.com/forums/serious-discussion/46845-euthanasia.html
