I don't know if this is the right place to query the above?
Is this true?
What's happened to Bob & Karen?
I hope everything's all right with them (I know Bob had a LOT of very serious back trouble).
Please let us know the situation!

{{Later}} Altered subject title. Maybe I missed something some time ago ... although as an old time 'Boomer I visit GB at least twice a day!

I don't know either Len but I don't see Bob and Karen's names at the bottom anymore so it may be true. I suppose, life marches on and circumstances change, so it's very possible. If it is true, I'd like to wish them the very best and thank both for starting such a wonderful place to hang out :kiss:

.... and who is the new owner?

Dadguy

Seconded ... most sincerely!

Also very many thanks for providing us with so much interest, info, and enjoyment for so many years ... free, and AFAIK voluntarily (with no cash benefit for themselves).

Gee, they don't even tell the moderators anything. Think this was a 'misprint' by JustAdventure? I think we would have heard if there where new owners of Gamerboomers!

Syd, Wictchen, anybody have any info??


Louis

A lot of work goes on behind the scenes to make Game Boomers what is.

My heartfelt thanks to those who have done this work, to those who are doing it, and to those who will do it.

Feel like you're in a new "game" called "Guess the Owners Now!". Since we were not notified, assuming there ARE new owners, then what happens to all our real names and EMail addresses? With 5,000 + registered I hate to think how valuable that info might be to someone who wants to spam us with new "offers".

There is a link at the bottom of the pages called "Contact Us". Perhaps we should do just that and ask the question directly if it doesn't show up here soon. And how can the Moderators, etc., not know if the ownership has changed? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="confused.gif" />

Good morning everyone

As to Randy's article about us - yes, it's true. GameBoomers has been "under new management" so to speak since May of this year. Bob's medical problems have made it impossible for him to continue running the board so he turned it over to [drum roll please] Marita aka Mags

Marita didn't want a big deal made out of it which is why nothing was said formally on the board and we respected her wishes. I will tell you all - that she is a wonder and Peter is correct - there is so much more to running this site than simply hitting the reply button.

BillyBob calm down - your email address and everyone elses is safe - they have not left the building Yes, the moderators knew about it when it happened. You're the new kid on the block Louis and I just didn't think to mention it. I apologize for that.

Syd

Marita (MaG) has done an outstanding job. Nothing is really changed here at GB, unless you want to count the Game Store Page, the Free Game Page and the Homepage. GameBoomers is still in the family. Marita wanted the transition to be smooth as possible for the members.

Bob had no choice because of his health problems. It was very difficult for him. Bob is still in the background kibitzing We all want to thank him for creating such a wonderful board and wish him the very best.

If it wasn't for Marita, there would not be a GameBoomers.

Kudos to you Marita! :kiss:

~Dee

Yawnnn what's going on - oh you have revealed Mags secret identity

She is a wonder woman - you know. Like Dee said.... :kiss:
Laura

Hi ya', Gang......Not much I can add here as its all been explained above. Thanks to Marita, and a terrific staff, Gameboomers is surely rolling along with scarcely a visible hiccup during the transition in management. We do certainly wish Bob and Karen the very best!

Off we go into the wild, blue gaming yonder with great prospects for a wonderful and growing Gameboomers future!

Love, Witchen

Thanks for filling us in. Best of luck to Bob & Karen, and thanks Marita for a great job.

Syd, no need to appologise, just don't let it happen again!

Louis

P.S. I'm still waiting for my official Moderator's manuals.. opps..wait I think I see a fleet of trucks comming down my street !!

First,
Best Wishes to Bob and Karen.
The Best Adventure site with the best of people.
Second,
Best of Wishes to Marita(Mag).
Third,
Does this explain the April forbbiden stuff?
(heavy traffic)
Fourth,
To everyone, BAAG ON !!!!!!!!!!!

Ohh so long as we have our great site, with the usual Moderators.. it will still be the best place to be!!

Thanks Mag for all your hard work.

Thank you Bob and Karen for giving us a safe haven!! Bob, hope you can overcome your health probs and come back to us whole and hearty.

Hugs

Tig

wow......interesting!! And we all know what a wonder MaG is.......!!! She's phenomenal!

Good luck to all....i know you'll keep up the good work....it's obviously been a really smooth transition if we all didn't even know about it!!

The moderators have done a wonderful job keeping the place going, and also maintaining the freshness and life that these boards boast.

Well done, keep up the good work!

Jonathan

Hi.

Well, the proof is "in the pudding" as they say and this change over went so smoothly that I for one just went blithely and blindly on - expecting Gameboomer Mods and Members alike to be at my instant beck and call as per normal

So sorry to hear about your health problems, Bob, and hope you get some relief soon. Back problems are just horrible

Of course, we'll want to see posts from you now and then to hear how you are doin'. You can't really expect to escape altogether

And Marita !!!!

Not making a big deal outta this as per your preference but ....

ARE YOU FANTASTIC OR WHAT ????????

Hehehe :kiss:

Cheers.

Mad

Some things even Fed X won't deliver - we uhhh had to make special arrangements. What's that Syd - ohhhhh he needs how much feed?

Laura

Well geeez nolalou if you haven't gotten the manuals yet no wonder you didn't know what was going on (guess I shouldn't have been the one to give Tilde directions, huh?)

Marita is doing a fantabulous job, and it can only be a credit on her list of many attributes that she didn't want to receive the attention for scotch taping the transition so smoothly. The woman works non stop like she's possessed! to each and every one for making this such a great place to be!

Rick what happened in April was what we told you - we just plain overloaded the server

Thanks syd,
I must have spent too much time with the trivia,mind benders mysteries.

Many, many thanks to Bob and Karen for creating such a wonderful site. :kiss: :kiss:

And once again, I'm totally amazed by all the talents of our new manager/owner Marita! How lucky we are to have her, And all our Mods, old and new!

Thanks to Bob and Karen, congrats to Marita, and thanks to all the moderators! Wow, what a site, and what a forum, as always still great.

Wasn't that great of Randy (owner/editor of Just Adventure) to mention us? That's so great, considering they have their own forum. Thanks Randy.

BOB and KAREN have built up a great Adventure game site, attracting wonderful moderators and members. It is a blessing that MARITA is carrying on their tradition, which bodes well for the future of GameBoomers.

I am sorry to hear that BOB's back is getting worse. I hope it is of a nature that it can be treated so that he can obtain relief. Now that they are not carrying the burden of all the work of managing the site, they may have time to chime in more frequently on threads. Hope so!
