Founder Brian Posted April 1, 2012 Founder Share Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) Well guys, we have some rather surprising and exciting news. T|I has been sold to AF Equipment LLC who will take over operations immediately. Their primary business is manufacturing equipment for fire fighters and other fire suppression equipment so they plan to use the domain in that capacity. As such, this site will be overhauled by the new owners in the near future. Thanks to all our loyal crew and sorry for the short notice. We finalized the agreement very recently and once we have more news tomorrow, we'll send out a final announcement to everyone. Take care.

Jimbo Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) So... does this mean T|I will become a firefighting site? What are we supposed to do, go back to NBR??Don't mean to sound harsh, just shocked.Apologies if I've misunderstood something.EDIT: What about all the great info here? Will it be retained somewhere at least? Edited April 1, 2012 by Jimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Michael Posted April 1, 2012 Founder Share Posted April 1, 2012 As part of the agreement all of the content of the site and forum are transferred to the new owners so I don't think we'll be able to just copy the info somewhere else. We are currently considering to just start over in a new domain. For now back to NBR I guess... We're open to suggestions for a new domain name in the meantime :-) Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) WTF do firefighters want with technical info about laptops? I was using the 2920 overclocking guides last night & about to post topic asking for help diagnosing issues!!! F.U.C.K. Not aimed at anyone, sometimes shit happens but the more I think about this the more I realise what a big deal it is. Feel like a loved one is dying. Also emotional because my desktop just blew a hose, I have no idea how much of it is FUBAR and can't find out for at least a week. And I have exams this week and I'm freaking out about them. I'm just going to go calm down for a while before I do something to fuck things up worse. Edited April 1, 2012 by Jimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Sargent Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 This just sounds like an April Fools day joke to me, could be I am not totally awake yet or well Just sounds really strange to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Brian Posted April 1, 2012 Author Founder Share Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) AF Equipment approached us about purchasing the domain name for their use. Obviously we refused their offer at first because it was not satisfactory and did not coincide with our plans for the site. However, after some negotiating, we agreed to transfer all content and the domain over to them. We can't disclose how much the website was sold for but rest assured that we will return in some capacity. It may not be exactly like the T|I you guys know and love, but it will be something great. Happy April Fools everyone! Edited April 1, 2012 by Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rypac1502 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 So where's Jimbo now...I think someone should ring up Australia and get someone over to his house incase he's frothing from the mouth or something... I could probably do that but I think it's best we leave him alone for a little while... for a few days at least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
