ZuneBoards Acquired by CrowdGather, Inc.

[lpxxfaintxx]

Copied straight from ZuneBoards:

Hello friends! On July 3rd, ZuneBoards and CrowdGather had been discussing a possible acquisition, which had played out quite nicely. As of July 7th, 2008, ZuneBoards is owned by CrowdGather, a well-respected company that has been building a network of friendly communities. Their goal is to create the world's best user experience for forum communities.

Q. What does this mean for ZuneBoards' members and readers?

A. Changes for the better! The staff, including myself, will continue to closely moderate the website to ensure the best experience. CrowdGather will work to make ZuneBoards greater than we already are. That's pretty freakin' great! Contest? Competitions? You betcha! We have great contests and competitions coming up real soon for our 2nd birthday.

Q. What does this mean for ZuneBoards' partners and advertisers?

A. From what it looks right now, things will remain the same. For specific questions, feel free to PM me, or CrowdGather.

Straight from CrowdGather.com:

CrowdGather believes that the communities built around message boards and forums are the richest, most dynamic sources of information available on the web. While social networks provide a platform for people to connect based on their real-life friends and families, and blogs are a conversation of one to many, forums are active communities built around interest and information exchange around specific topics. By providing users with the ability to search forums, CrowdGather aims to enrich the world's search experience by giving people the ability to query and contribute to the most content-rich communities on the web.

CrowdGather aims to bring the world of forums together by providing a central destination for forum goers and forum owners to find forum news, forum tools and resources for growing communities, and most importantly - a search engine for forums - to provide an environment where people can ask questions and provide answers based on human experience and shared knowledge.

As the ex-owner and founder of ZuneBoards, I pledge to remain a part of this site for as long as I can, and offer CrowdGather tips and advice to keep ZuneBoards more enjoyable than it already is.
