    Should AO Buy AngelOwnersGroup.com????

    AO,

    Angelownersgroup.com is up for sale. Should we buy it and incorporate it here as a separate forum? After all we are a mulit-gun forum and Angel owners are our most likely customers.

        Boy, talk about putting a cat and a dog in a box!

        Perhaps, educating Angels can be a good thing. It would sure help quell a lot of the stupid rumors.

          Tom, that would be great. Just make sure to make it run off vb and make it like AO... Maybe new moderators too. I think that giving Q, rob, army, black, phil, webby, etc. double duty would be a bit much for them.

            I think that'll work to your advantage!!! As you said, Angel owners are a very likely E-Mag clientel!!!

              Tom, as a loyal customer, and an over all agd fan, i think you should go for it. It is a bit of a risk, saying you are the president of agd, but if it were to not work for you, you could prolly always sell it to wdp.

              I also firmly believe this is the right step towards creating a multi marker enviroment in and around AO. I know there are numerous angel users on these boards, and i am sure they would appreciate it.

              You would have to make sure that you employ well knowledged angel useres as your moderators. maybe even some of them right off of these boards (Cliffio...etc)

              Im not quite sure where the financial gain is in this tho. Unless you are planing to harbor all of the angel useres into e-mag users, then it is a smart plan. This might make Wdp a little angry tho, but hey they dont to anything for their customers like you do. If you plasn just to host the site and get the skinny on what is going on in the angel world, then that is good and all, but couldnt you just peruse other boards?

              All in all Tom, you are a smart, business savvy man, and im sure you will make the right decision.-Bill

                Sure, just be prepared for more mag flames . I agree with Foo that this would require more mods, especially because flames will probably start up...

                  Sounds like a very good idea. Is the name just for sale, or the xtra space too? Because the xtra server space can always be used.

                  Would it be incorporated as a new forum? For example it would read
                  Main Forum
                  Angel Forum
                  Tech Forum
                  etc...

                      In a perfect world, on a frictionless plane, in a vacum, it would work. Real world. You will buy it, and all the Angel owners will jump ship (kind of like PaintballCity going to a pay site) and you will be left with a site with no members. Something my Dad told me to do before buying anything used...ask why it is for sale.
                      For you, the plus side would have to far outweigh the minus side. What do you really have to gain from the purchase?
                      My 2 cents

                      p.s. I have nothing against Angel owners. The first part of my Sig says it all.

                          because the old owner wanted out of paintball not because all the members left

                          TK- i would go on PBC or PBN and find out whatev EVERYONE thinks of getting a new AOG all together

                          but thats just what i would do

                          if you need help contact me, ill be glad to do it, ive got over 1k posts on pbc and have been there a while, lots of people know me

                          anyways
