I take back my initial reaction and will wait for the official announcement.

So, I joined NT for nothing.
Exactly.Steve now has nothing to do with ISS. That said, why would this be an issue?
Also on the SC side.Anything affiliated with Billy Hoyle is no bueno in my book.
How? Because the person he SOLD the site to managed to secure a NON-EXCLUSIVE sponsorship with NikeTalk? That's silly. The original "cool offer" would've been hosting ONLY (no donations) in exchange for becoming ISS' mascot. It would've been ISS presents: NikeTalk. Fast forward to 2013, ISS is run by a completely different person - who was a NikeTalk member - and Steve's working for Complex.steve won
The community chest couldn't support NikeTalk when we were 1/4 of our current size and on a MUCH cheaper platform. We're all proud of what we accomplished together in raising money for disaster relief efforts in Japan and Somalia. That took a concerted effort from MANY of our forum regulars, and you guys were incredibly generous and inspiring. It would take more than that EVERY SINGLE MONTH to even attempt to run the site without ads.Reopen the community chest. I'll make a donation rather than partnering with them.
He still won, though... For the wrong reason. He doesn't and never did have an interest in sneakers in the first place. He saw people going crazy for shoes and sees it as an opportunity for $$$$$, which is why he started ISS. Now that SC is sold off to Complex, he is probably pretty damn well off.Interesting. Well, Steve is out of the picture there so who cares...
i feel betrayedwtf
never would i have thought a day would come to see this
Exactly.Steve now has nothing to do with ISS. That said, why would this be an issue?
And ISS now has nothing to do with Sole Collector... and Sole Collector's owned by Complex. The "ISS forums" have been the "sole collector forums" for years now. It's a completely separate entity.
Why should we be so petty as to prohibit a LEGITIMATE sneaker seller from sponsoring the site simply because the name is the same as a site that was once run in an objectionable way? Where's the logic in that?
I'm just curious who the NT member is who is running ISS and why he didn't come to NT himself and disclose what is going on.
It would have been nice if he changed ISS's name after taking it away from Steve...
The extends of how childish this whole thing beats anything I've seen post on here before
The "extends" indeed.
