Jim T. Shining a light on the hobby. Thread OP | !HeliFreak.com Acquired by RCGroups.com Big news! Today we have announced the acquisition of the Helifreak.com site. HeliFreak is the largest RC Heli forum in the world and the third largest RC forum. We just wanted to inform you of this acquisition but things will largely go unchanged for you other than the addition of a more robust user and community base. We're thrilled to welcome the Helifreak community to the RCGroups family and we are working closely with the site creator for a smooth transition. "Were thrilled to announce todays acquisition, said Jim Bourke, owner of RCGroups. "We have been looking at HeliFreak.com for awhile and thought it would make a great addition to our umbrella of sites. We look forward to embracing and working with the great community already established at HeliFreak and its our hope to make any improvements we can to the site and make it a great user experience." "This was a difficult decision for me to sell the site I had worked on since 2004 but I couldnt be happier to let it go to a better team than the people at RCGroups, said Will James, Founder of HeliFreak. "I want to thank the community and moderators for helping grow and making HeliFreak what it is today. The site is in great hands with RCGroups and I look forward to seeing the site grow and expand in the upcoming future." ImagesView all Images in thread

Heh, I guess Fun, Learning, Friendship and Mutual Respect didn't apply to you. Seriously, this is Very Good News! Way to go RCGroups. Fixing screwups the old fashioned way, take over and do it right. |

heli_haven Registered User | I had posted a thread on this, and then this popped up a few minutes later, so I closed mine. Question I asked still stands...any chance of being "unbanned" over there? |

Question I asked still stands...any chance of being "unbanned" over there? I got banned over there for making a "clone account" (made account for friend on same IP). Took lots of time and effort to get it reopened. I still have an infraction for life there. Never had a prior infraction before this either. Tough cookies... |

I was banned too for idiotic reasons and every attempt I made to get it rectified was met with proverbial tumble weeds rolling by. Hopefully the change in ownership will mean a change in management which will in-turn mean a change in admins to more competent ones. |
