FUCK LET. The post @wlanboy made is not public visible. They are hiding it or flagged it.
So I typed the screencap up.
Can someone else go post it?

I think I am a bit late to the party, of all the mess of LowEndTalk getting repeatedly hacked and the whole ownership with ColoCrossing thingy.
Gotta say that it saddens me a little. It shouldn't -- I've abandoned that ship early last year and don't really want to get attached to it. I thought I've handed it over to some trusted hands. Maybe. Maybe not.
I guess I can at least clarify some of the mis-information here, especially when I expressed my intention to retire back in January 2012.
First of all, Jon Biloh of ColoCrossing did approach me (in am email on 22 Jan 2012) about acquiring the site. I rejected the offer, stating the reason that I hoped LowEndBox can stay independent, and then told him I've found someone suitable, i.e. Joel aka Chief, which I did so in email exchanges with him on 20 Jan 2012.
There seems to be a mis-conception that I've sold LowEndBox/LowEndTalk to Joel. Well, NO. No money has been exchanged. In fact I've allowed him to continue operating on the Linode that I've paid for. I was simply passing the baton -- here's the passwords and the domain EPP, take good care of it! Some people might think it's mad by "giving away" two websites with 500k page views a month combined. But hey, a lot of people don't treat money as their priority in life.
Well. Not saying Chief doesn't have a right to sell the website. He has managed to continue growing the websites, and all power to him if he managed to find a buyer who is willing to pay good money for it. I really have nothing to say really, since the site is no longer mine.
Just a little bit sad. That's all.
