California Case Update

[Forsaken]

I hope for a release in 2013, just so people quit with the idiotic speculation of something they have no honest clue about.

 

[Shelley]

[HWS]

Well I'll just ask. KAM holding out for a better deal for IB to put on the table? I can only assume continued talks on Feb 20th indicate that they are?

 

[HWS]

Looks like they've a lot to talk. Which is good.
I assume someone is traveling to california.

That's still based on presumption. You can't really infer anything from this. Just gotta wait.

 

[Taylor J]

I infer pie.

 

[Adam Howard]

From my point of view....

Internet Brands will drag the talks out as long as possible in order to

1) Continue their goal to make this last as long as possible
2) Give the illusion of "trying" to communicate (thus attempt to diminish the "look" of reason #1)

Of course this is only my opinion (based upon their continued actions as I interpret them)

Wouldn't that magistrate catch on to that since he'll be there during the talks? I think that it taking this long may be a good thing...like they are making progress of some sorts.... Just wishful thinking.

All you have to do is appear convincing....

XenForo can't just walk away from the table. Well they could, but it wouldn't look good for them. On the other side of that is neither can Internet Brands just walk away without looking bad.

So I imagine (believe) Internet Brands will drag this along as long as possible, but in such away that it looks like they're trying to be productive.

I despise IB and their company for their monopolistic business strategy and abuse of the legal system but if the price is right I'd sell my forum to them just as well. A year ago I was actually in negotiations with them and Vertical Scope to sell my http://www.mustangevolution.com forum. Neither ended up meeting my price at the time though and I ended up selling it elsewhere.

Just curious to know - who'd be the people actually doing the discussion? From XF, it's KAM (+ Lawyers) and from IB ?

Kier has said that they want to continue the development after the lawsuit is over (and ruling is in their favor). I just hope that XF folks get all their money back.

According to the documents, it's parties with counsel. So, it's probably vBSI+their counsel and XF+their counsel.

Sadly, that's why companies like IB continue to exists, because for the right price, as you said, people will usually sell out to them, morals be damned

Sure looks that way, like KAM sold out to IB and why more settlement talks are now taking place.

Full and complete settlement, and nothing said here, eh?
