You know, the more I think about it, the less I believe that Major Tom actually sold the forum to Momo, but joined up with them. Probably sought them out himself. I don't know how much he was pulling down in ad revenue, but I know that whatever it was, he was never going to make any more than that with our demographic. The chances of AGF transforming into a bigger, younger, hipper (and growing) audience on it's own were pretty slim, unless it was given a push in that direction. Momo is not made for our demographic, and they knew that. The design is not an accident. They probably figured the less curmudgeonly among us would adapt to the new place and make it look active enough to attract more people, while the old-timers would go fuck off somewhere else... Or not. It doesn't matter at this point because now he's changed revenue streams.

The forum is valued at $30,000, but I doubt that's what Tom would get for it, and even if he did, that's kinda chump change. Unless he really wanted to wash his hands of the forum and dump it, I would think he would try to make it more profitable first. Knowing how lucrative the selling of data is, does it really make sense that he would walk away with $30k and let someone else make all that money??

In which case...

Looking around on the web earlier today, Uncle Tom had his hands in multiple websites, opened my eyes a bit to the Wild West that it is. just check out Flippa.com
And he's fully savvy to know EXACTLY what he was selling us into. We were never a community to him, just an investment. I'll bet he sold it for an equity stake.
momo stock has done very well over the past five years. He'd hoped to turn his 10K in stock into 60k or more in a couple years. He's got investment websites,
had a chinese dating website at one point.

When I saw his LinkedIn profile it was readily apparent how his background meshed with MOMOs.

Guys, there are two different MOMO’s. The one Major Tom sold us out to IS NOT A LARGE WELL FUNDED CHINESE COMPANY WITH PUBLICLY TRADED STOCK. MOMO Boards is a tiny startup that was funded a decade ago for another business model that failed and made a pivot to forums in 2019. The CEO and a chunk of the investors are Korean or have ties to Korea, NOT CHINA!

I just did some digging myself, and you appear to be correct. I also discovered that MOMO Board is trying to position themselves in the corporate messaging/conferencing arena too. Imagine all the opportunity for corporate espionage.

Yes, it appears he's not connected to the Chinese conglomerate, but it turns out he's not that small either. And his business goals appear to be somewhat similar. He clearly didn't care about us as anything but monetizeable property. https://angel.co/company/momoboard/funding

Man, their tagline is "Built for Community"??

Built to take your community.

Built to spy on your community.

Nah, they don't have the right ring to it.

He likes David Gilmour, Angus Young and Brian May... Why didn't he throw Eddie Van Halen in there while he was at it? Jimi Hendrix? C'mon Dan, surprise me!

I'll just say there's some old shock site content, medical conditions, eyeball gore, dicks, anuses and a v-giney.🙈🙉🙊
Absolutely none of which, I promise you, do you want to see, especially first thing in the morning when you're checking your newly acquired data mining center 😅🤣

That's hilarious! But the old forum's going to be gone soon. We should be polluting the Momo Board... Give them a lot of cleaning to do on a regular basis.

Yeeeep, looks like my mischief was handled swiftly, by Dan F because I posted the same ASCII graphic on his profile as I did Major Tom's but Dan's racket ship left without him 🤣
