I remembered this post as something I was not expecting (at all) just occurred with Google.
Yesterday one of our community members posted a series of photos about a particular subject with an overview of the subject. I was interested in learning more about it so off to Google I went. The AI Overview result includes a handful of bullet points with links back to their sources. And.... bullet #5 was a link to our community to the post about it. (Correction: Bullets 2, 3, 4, & 5 all point back to us! Woot!
)*****
I know, I know, it has no bearing on the back-and-forth some of you guys are having, but I still thought it was cool to see our little community being included in the results with a link back.

15 years ago vertical scope offered me a stoopid amount of money for my forum and I didn't sell. The forum was not a business venture but a way to keep in touch with thousands of guys that I rode motorcycles with from all across the country. Fast forward and while we have been impacted by all the other social media options out there NONE of them allow people to have long detailed conversation and include pictures or build relationships like forums do. Hayabusa.oRg has been online for 25 years this year and we still have dedicated members looking for a community and a place to share a common interest free from drama and the constant hype from other outlets. Glad we didn't sell but I kinda wish we had

Hopefully you are using a moderator-added "build" prefix to help highlight those threads. I've been doing that for years, great way to help feature those multi-year projects.15 years ago vertical scope offered me a stoopid amount of money for my forum and I didn't sell.

I have made more since.
Sure, it took many years, and the year dollar probable doesn't add up, but i got the cash AND i still hold the asset. That's finance 101.

Crazy, they used to contact me twice a year about selling but hadn't heard from them in the last few years so it makes sense now.
