[Ridemonkey]

Well, it's a done deal. Ridemonkey was purchased this week by Adam Thody, who some of you may know as Gecko (now under the Ridemonkey username).

What does this mean to you? Probably not a whole lot for the moment. You will start to see minor changes here and there over the next few weeks, and down the road you'll see some great new features.

A few things to look forward to:

• Blogs
• Ridemonkey Apparel
• Stickers
• New Design
• Free beer on Tuesdays (not really - suckers!)

If you have any questions about the change of ownership, and how it affects the site, please keep them in this thread, or PM me.

Looking forward to many years of good times!

so is gecko going to be using the ridemonkey name and you are going to be using another one? and by you i mean the origional ridemonkey

 

[Westy]

I hope we will continue to be opressed at the same or higher levels.

I hope we will continue to be opressed at the same or higher levels.

Oh you will be, don't worry.

 

[Westy]

Oh you will be, don't worry.

Good, I haven't been opressed yet and have really been looking forward to it.

EDIT: And what about that arcade!?

[Ridemonkey]

I am gecko, hear me roar. We already switched. The old RM is now going under the name BeerDemon I believe.

Who the hell is Adam Thody?

He's a model. Chicks dig him.

 

[Ridemonkey]

That's not what I heard. I'm told he's a huge geek.

 

[Zark]

Congrats on your acquisition Adam, just keep the color scheme on the green and black and I'm cool with it

 

[Ridemonkey]

You're going to love what I've got planned then

 

[stinkyboy]

September, 2005.

After a major color scheme change in August, a mass exodus has occured from the popular mountain bike enthusiast message board web site Ridemonkey. The color scheme change followed a change in ownership.


The site admin could not be reached for comment.

Well, I had the inside track, and it does require a great deal of technical knowledge...hardly a turnkey business, so you shouldn't feel too bad about it.

Does this mean a pay raise for the mod team?

Wow - I hope old RM Aaron has other good things lined up. Thanks for creating PD forum dude.

Glad to see the new guy is Canadian, everone knows how nice those guys are, eh?

So now PinkBike and RideMonkey are both Canadian. Heh - They're taking over guys. Cool. Hope it doesn't change too much, and can you have a series of optional skins to make RM look like a M$ application?
