I’ve heard a rumor that Vital MX has a new owner. Supposedly it’s a co-owner, not a full owner. Heard a couple different things... one is the new co-owner is DC, the other is that it’s someone close to DC.

No idea if it’s true but Ping said Vital MX is going in a different direction. When companies “go in a different direction” it’s usually because of new ownership or management.

My brother-in-law gets fired every couple of years, and every time it is because his company went in a different direction

This is my favorite thing to post lately but…

On a scale of 1 to Team Fried, how high are you? Laughing

Nope, ownership is still the same as it’s been since the beginning.

“Going in a different direction” refers to the changes I’m making. I have creative control of the site and have been tasked with making a pretty big push forward around here. That includes a staffing restructuring.

You’ve said yourself that Rumor Mill is called that for a reason... no need to insinuate anything about me personally. I find that insulting and condescending. It’s just what I heard, nothing more, nothing less.

You just clicked someone for calling Ping crazy. Maybe you should give yourself a time out LOL.

Anyway, I do appreciate the second part of your reply. Thank you for the answer. Have a great weekend!

I heard a rumor that the pro pits at Hangtown are currently locked down by the Sacramento Sheriff's department or the Fire Marshal? I could be way off so don't call me Kooksey...

(Edit: heard they it got worked out but don't know what the deal was in the first place)

That would probably be the only way to get unbanned in his situation.

If guy B was still running this sight you would be banned for life with that comment. No joke. It's seriously such a better place since ML took over. From what I gather next to no one got along with him ( besides ass kissers afraid to be "clicked") I'm literally on here five times as much since the change. ML is awesome and good for our sport.

Maybe this is sarcasm?

If not, 100% it's worth money, probably quite a bit more than you would assume. One valuable metric in the online space is "time spent on page" and this site has that in spades. TONS of ya'll just have this open in a Tab at all times so you can quickly check in.....it's ok to admit it Tongue

elon, now that your tech teams have solved the challenges of private space travel and self driving cars perhaps you could devote their efforts to something important, like seat bouncing

So... you've been a member for 4 whole months and you're telling us how much better the site has been?? That's actually pretty funny. OR are you someone that GuyB permanently clicked and have come back under a new name ?


Not a shot at you ML, you seem to be doing a fine job.

Nice try... I was a "Lurker" for a LONG time. Do a poll and see if the general consensus is Vital is night and day better since ML. It's obvious what side you lean towards. Lol

I really don't think people kiss ML's ass... They don't need to, he's a fair and smart guy. Amazing what someone that loves the sport can do as opposed to an angry, condescending, person that blows his ego up on "power plays" . And it's huge for the site to have someone running it that "insiders" ( Riders, team personnel, and other media) respect. There's rules of course but as long as they're followed everyone's happy 😀
