Expression of Interest

[von Corax]

I have had an expression of interest in Brass Goggles' acquisition by a network of hobbyist sites. I have politely declined, as I wish to maintain Tinkergirl's commitment to keeping Brass Goggles advertisement-free.

Network of Hobbyist Sites??

Color me skeptical.  Also, make sure they're not confusing the Forum with another venue, like (I believe) a Facebook group of the same name.  There's more than one Brassgoggles nowadays.

PS I would also be mindful of any intellectual property rights. Nagy, Herr Döktor, et. al. And last, but not least your humble servant.  Though I arranged to retain ownership of the iCog Mercury laptop, this was a contract with Sony America.

No worries; it simply ain't gonna happen.

I have seen a lot of instances of semi or fully professional groups trying to dominate the market and standardise everything to "their way", be it webhosting sites, mod systems for games, interfaces for systems, online marketplaces. The benefits they promote are exposure, compatibility, versatility and prestige. Those don't always work well together, and aren't always benefits.
