Hi everyone-
I can't give you too many details because we have not even formally announced this ourselves yet, but I can tell you that Scream's description of things is perfectly accurate.
Rick will be able to spend even more time developing Threads and he will have many more resources at his disposal. Whether you like the UBB or not (and you are certainly entitled to your opinion), we at Infopop have the largest number of customers in the message board business and that fact will really help make Threads a more influential program.
One of the major reasons I wanted to do this deal was because Rick (Scream) and I have a lot in common- including a long history developing message boards and a focus on innovation. As we talked, we realized that this deal made perfect sense for everyone.
I sense that some of the concerns being voiced are because you feel really close to Rick. I can only tell you that Rick will still be front and center with Threads and that we are determined to keep the program as exciting for each of you as it currently is.
Ted O'Neill
CEO, Infopop Corporation
