Unofficial Announcement on New Ownership

Post by admin » Mon Dec 06, 2010 9:40 pm

Howdy. My name is Rob Snell. My brother, Steve & I own Gun Dog Supply. We also started a new company to host the forum called Dog Training Digital LLC.

We'll have an official announcement pretty soon, but I wanted to drop in, say hello, and say we're in the final stages of the transaction. It's taken a bit longer than we anticipated, but we're ALMOST done.

When Grant approached us about buying the forum, we jumped at the opportunity. GDF is a great resource for the gun dog community, and we're excited to be able to support such a place.

We're still transitioning to the new servers, but wanted to wait until everything was in place before we announced anything officially.

Steve & I really like what you guys are doing here in the forum, appreciate all the hard work the mods put it, and don't plan any major changes.

After the transaction is finalized, we'll be looking for feedback, so please be thinking about what you like, what you don't like, and what you might want to add to GDF.

I'm not sure what happened on the albums. Sorry about that.

I'll ping Grant about it, and as soon as I know I'll follow up. Anyone who paid for something that got dropped in the transition will get what they paid for to their satisfaction, or I'll refund your money.

In the future, we plan for everything at GDF to be free. No paid anything. And minimal ads from our main sponsor.

My personal email address is robsnell at gmail dot com. Feel free to drop me a line. Steve's office line at GDS is 1-800-624-6378. Feel free to call him.

Looking forward to some great things with Gun Dog Forum...
-- ROB SNELL,

Great idea! We're actually working on something now. ;) It'll be a little more virtual than a BBQ, but you'll like it! -- ROB

Steve is probably going to charge y'all extra because of all the time I'm spending over here. ;)

Dog Training Digital LLC is a separate entity from GDS, but I'm sure I can walk across the parking lot and strike up a special deal from time to time... ;)

CONTESTS are easy, though.

Thanks. I think most of the dividends will be from supporting the folks who support us. And I'm learning a lot! :)
