    I agree with Doobie, I think they'd bail and find another forum.

        will the angel owners like it? i'v emet many stubborn angel owners that are dead set against mags. i'm sure some of the immature angel owners will have a cow, but its a good idea.

          It is your call tom. But I can't see the financial benefit in it. Yeah...angel owners may get a better forum, and it may be more useful as far as giving them facts. I can only guess that you want them to come into mag land and convert. If the SFL's are working well then it may not be a bad idea, because they seem really good.

            This may be a good idea but don't get your hopes too high. It is to easy to just go to another web site. You will have to convince them you care and that they care if you care. I personnally think the money could be better spent elsewhere unless it is really cheap and you have nothing to loose.

              Ya why not tom, ya angle owners will be good clients for the next generation of emags, but also might see alot of people buying angles also.....

                No! We will all get dissed because our mags don't have infrared links that we can communicate to handhelds and other Angels. I think it may turn away a lot of Angel owners. It may convert some too.

                  I also agree, if you have the money, then go for it. It would bring more people to the mag world. Just get a few guys around here that know a thing or 2 about angels, set them as mods and get it running...
                  You smell like dookie... No really though.

                    Only one problem I see. Tato brought this up in the chat.

                    i think the rumor mill will get ahold of AGD buying an Angel forum and screw it all up.

                    I mean, what rumors could come from this!?!? WDP buying out AGD or vice versa! WDP sold the patent for the angel to AGD! AGD has become a military installation and took over WDP! Who knows what stupid rumors might come up?

                        It would be a shame if adding another site like Angelownersgroup.com took away the focus from AO. AO is so good largely due the maturity level of the members and the high quality moderaters. Adding another site could add a bunch of unwanted members while simultaneously taxing the moderators.

                        I think the risk is too great vs. the reward (AGD - how many Angel users would you have to convert? AO Members - low quality posts; clutter).

                          Do it! Wouldn't that be HILARIOUS if the best Angel forum was owned by AGD? Hehehehe! Do it! Do it!!!

                          I don't see it as something to really help Angel sales or something... But, we could take users off all the other boards (people who would have been frequenting Angel forums anyway) and have a much better Angel forum than what's out there. If there ever was a time, it's now... before the other Angel forum picks up steam. And... I'm sure we can be a little sneaky about it and help people learn more about the EMag... tee hee. :) I think it would end up with some EMag converts... get some Angel people crossing borders... and not the other way around.

                          Angels are gonna be around, and they are good guns that I personally would like to learn much more about. It would be nice to have a forum to attact the people who really know what they're doing with this stuff... and we can all learn about it.

                            If AOG became it's own entity... you could make the AOG and AO friendly corner and classifieds... maybe even Deep Blue connect to each other... basically be one in the same. A bridge between AO and AOG.

                            Guess what? Angel forum would already be loaded up with lots of posts and interesting people... they will see this and want to join! (Maybe not even realizing the AO-AOG connection... hehe)

                            Also, make registration database be same... register for one... you register for the other.

                                Yes! Do it! That is a great buisiness opurtinity, because you can educate everyone on mags and we can elimanate so many of those stupid rumours. Maybe everyone will buy Emags instead if their Angels, and then there will be no Angels left! Bwah haha.

                                It sounds like a great idea.
