The APC "Advertising" people told me quote "Art is an administrator, not the owner. We own the forum". Who is we? Is this old news? I don't remember ever reading anything about Art selling or giving ownership over of the forum to somebody. I would like to know who's pocket my money is going into. Is this a for profit WEB site now?

APC is not for profit. Although, it does take money to keep the forum alive. Bandwith, Storage, and Maintaining the site are not free and are continually getting more expensive. Our company bought the forum from Art to ease the burden of the expenses involved, and have been managing the back-end of it for about a year now. He still remains an administrator as per the agreement. Any money made through our advertisements or supporters goes into paying for the sites expenses. We may turn a small profit but it is not our main goal. The goal is to provide you all with a great place to upload pictures of your planted tanks and have a great community to talk about your projects and success stories. In order to achieve and maintain that goal, and have the features we provide, advertisers and supporters are needed. Otherwise, would not be able to provide the storage for our galleries or afford the bandwidth. I hope that clears things up a little bit. :mrgreen:
Thank you

They also told me you don't work for the company any more Dave! Why would this company Xoxide Inc want to buy a forum or buy anything that does not make money? I can understand why a hobbyist would do it, but not a business. Thats why Dave when you first came into the picture I asked who you are and how you are related to the forum, if you were a hobbyist or what... there was always so much mystery about it and everything so vague. It just seems wierd. Its no big deal or anything, and not really that important I guess, but the more something is a secret the more you want to know about it! ;) I also heard a rumor that the aquariacentral/monsterfish network owns an interest in APC.
