if you listen to her podcast, you'll get what the alleged vision is- and her convo with Ryan Deluca


Raj Gupta is the executive chair, - I've actually been indirectly associated with Sharon before - but I'm still trying to learn more about this dude. He was a Navy Jag office that went to the university of Illinois law school. He actually applied to be a navy jag his 1st year of law school.

He was active duty from 2001-2004

He was more in Evanston, Illinois- and grew up in Roger's park - and currently lives in Naperville.

And ended up getting involved with high scale real estate ventures, including multi family housing units.

The point of contact is a few things

First and foremost - their is a group of people (including some fomer mods, competitors, and some who have been there 20+ years ) that would like access to the data - even is forum is froze- for the opportunity to save their various former journals (some very long)/ as well try to send contact info for 20+ year e friends. As well as some longer detailed info (or other) threads.

All the people didn't misc'r rush to alt forums and discords...

don't forget - the forum was more than just misc.

2. Get some answers of if future plans would eventually allow access to that anyway, and info on what may be coming up.

3. A few other general business questions involving possible purchases


Answer to why post that stuff?

I mean heck, this entire thread is about bb.com forum

- and now with the possible end of (or evolving of) something many people have been involved with - some may be curious as to wants going on, and any news related.

The company has been, frankly, rude about their silence in messaging / especially people who have helped like former mods and sponsors etc.

There are some who have just moved on, and that's fine- there are plenty curious who want to know.

There are a few who are so cool their chit don't stink, and are the new cool anti misc culture kids with this weird stay away from anything associated vibe lol

If anyone doesn't care, I would advise just skim past the post.

Myself? I'm curious

Your forum probably just existed as the illegitimate mutated bastard son that they kept locked in the basement and hid from public view. Unfortunately, someone new bought the house and they want the basement mutants evicted.

If someone had contact with whoever was ACTUALLY responsible for the forum data, you MIGHT be able to save it, but not only is it probably too fucking late now, but BB.com may not even want it out there in any form (wipe everything clean and start over) and the whole 'contact the new boss lady' doesn't make a lot of sense.

We've gone through similar bullshit in the past. Usually someone HAS all of the data for the forum, but everyone is bailing BECAUSE of their bullshit, so to add insult to injury they want to SELL you that data. And not only that, they want to charge you a fucking PREMIUM for data that is of no use to ANYONE else.

I think that's happened to us twice now (?) and both times we ended up accepting that it was better to tell them to fuck off, and just accepted that the data was gone.

But do whatever you want. Maybe you'll hit the jackpot and they'll just give you everything? I dunno, but I wish you luck

Losing contact with people is a concern, but that's also the downside to going somewhere else and fucking around on alts or changing names. If I came back to a forum to find it gone, I'd probably hope that any new forum would at least be partially indexed, and I'd start googling usernames to see where they went.

No offense my guy, but how were you an r/p regular but never ventured into the main misc? Because you'd have been a misc king with these levels of autism going into what you're talking about, ded fkn srs

gachase21 said:

Not even really sure what you mean by the last part of this.

the misc started having bunch of trans chit, feminized vibe, what seem to be emasculated people posting, that accelerated in 2014ish.

I just really wasn't interested in reading it anymore.

I stayed posting in r/p however, because I have an interest in politics policy economics -and knew everything going on there.
