Hypothetical: SLAP for Sale
« on: February 20, 2019, 02:34:35 PM »
First post and apologies for being a newb/starting a thread (admins should really do something about that), but...

Genuinely curious; how would SLAP posters feel if SLAP was acquired? If it changed hands and there were zero changes, would you stick around (ie: would the bought/sold element be enough for you to say "fuck this")?

Let's assume the acquirer was NOT (1) a big company just looking to better monetize the site or even (2) an industry insider with an agenda to sway opinions on companies/products/riders/etc.

What's your breaking point?

I feel like if SLAP was acquired by Fendi or Miu Miu, I'd be excited about it, but otherwise it would be upsetting.

Not entirely sure on corporate structure, but yeah – think SLAP falls under Ermico umbrella

To me, Slap is all about the Pals not the ownership. The only thing I don't like is how they only let people kook a person once every 24 hours. It's gonna take forever for me to hit -1000 with that rule in place.

if you didn’t suck so much you’d be at -65k already but you’ll prolly give up trolling in a few months and make a new account and post like a normal dude that no one notices
What kind of mikey taylor logic is this?

I mainly come here for gear advice that I can ignore and idle bullshit to pass time, doesn't matter too much whose site I do that on. It just seemed like the most active skate discussion forum and it doesn't hurt that Slap was once a decent print magazine.
