    spdude, try not to let everything overwhelm you. It's a pretty big deal to see this happen here for us, and will take some time before your instant fame settles in.
    That's what I was thinking, as I was under the impression that the site was actually making a loss, and that server bills were partially paid from Cid's own pocket. Meaning that some changes are given, as I'm sure this guy wants to make his money back.

    From what I understand - although I may be wrong - he will be making a change to what the ads are and possibly how many there are. Having said that, he also intends to remove ads for logged in users, so I'd say that the change is ideal.

    It's also possible he might invest via search engine advertising or other such things.

    With the promise of no radical changes made to alter Eyes On as we know it, I just want to thank Cid for keeping the site up and running for so long out of his own pocket, and welcome Yusuf as a new admin. With the possibility of ads being removed for members and the continued existence of EoFF in its current form, I think prosperous times are definitely ahead.

    Correct. That sums up what I'll be doing. In the meantime, I'll be linking from the rest of my network in an attempt to increase traffic and forum membership.

    We Cid's Knights will be around and things should continue to run as always, from what I understand. So don't think for a minute that I'll be going any easier on any of you

    As long as things remain the same, along with the name "Cid's Knights," (I will be quite uspet if it is changed), I guess I'm fine with it.

    I like the idea of a new over lord. KHinsider is still a great site, so it doesn't really bother me.

    The fastest admin promotion was Cid when the vB install script automatically put him in the admin usergroup.

    I take it as a good thing that the only complaint I have is that with "increased traffic and forum membership" this means a bucketload more newbies. Ah well...its definitly not grounds for rebellion. Pity, that. I like the odd one.

    Ooh, ooh. This guy better not try and stop the user generated content here. The ability to contribute freely to the working of the site is always nice (not that i've ever done it). And another thing! The Ciddies are still the Ciddies, right? The Yusaf Mullanies doesnt have the same ring (though the Yusaffies is a possibility).

    I realize all possible "i welcome our new ___ overload...) jokes have already been done. So when I say I welcome our new games enthusiast overload, I am being sincere. WHAT UP BIG MAN!

    Oh, the jokes are coming thick and fast now. I'm tempted to mention similarities to Roman Abramovich.

    I noticed spdude yesterday and was like who-tf is that? But then I thought whatever but lo' and behold it is the new man of the board!

    I can't say anything that hasn't been said already but atleast if the forum is kept the same i'll be happy.
