It's more than just the ads, for me at least.
There have been issues of unnecessary censorship on their other sites because it went against their corporate views. They come in saying nothing will change, yet within hours of being handed the keys they had began implementing corporate policy/agenda.
If you read through the announcement thread, it starts with Chris saying he turned over management/maintenance of the site to the autoguide, not ownership. Shortly thereafter, the corp admin chimes in and backs up what Chris said along with the "nothing will change" line. If you continue reading the admin states that they bought the entire site from Chris and 25-30 posts later the admin is back to the "we are just here to manage" line.
If Jose has a problem regarding the sale of the site, he has to resolve it with Chris. It is none of my business.
I have only been around the site for a few years,and honestly it was always my assumption that Chris owned it and Jose was just the #1 moderator/administrator. This event has brought to light that there was some type of agreement between Chris and Jose. Most likely nobody knows the details of that other than those two. Although I'm sure a lot of the more animated old members will pipe up with something they recall hearing over a beer in 2001 and spill it as gospel.
I like Jose and wish him the best in whatever he chooses to do.
One thing I do know is that there is so much speculation and here-say being thrown around that it has made day 2 of this site almost as bad as the Canadians walking into the old site.
