Tuesday, May 27, 2003 11:00 PM ET From: Silicon Investor Dear Silicon Investor Members, As you may or may not have heard, Silicon Investor was bought by Investors Hub on May 16th, and the equipment has been moved to Kansas City to the same ISP that hosts Investors Hub. Few things will change over the short term, and the long-term plans for the site are still very liquid. Nothing is etched in stone yet. But you might notice some immediate changes, including dropping features we consider non-core, like News. If a feature, like News, is available for free elsewhere, it's been dropped from Silicon Investor. For those who have been here more than a couple of years, this is also one of those "The more things change, the more they stay the same" things. Or, as the Who put it, "Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss." Specifically, Bob Zumbrunnen, one of the owners of Investors Hub, is once again the Administrator at Silicon Investor. His profile is at Member 4591117 Most of the changes that will be happening in the next several weeks likely (hopefully) won't even be noticed. We're migrating the site to the same platform Investors Hub uses. The interface will stay the same as it is now. But the invisible underlying workings will be different. Why? Because Bob's also the programmer for Investors Hub and Silicon Investor and wants to reduce the number of languages, databases, and operating systems he'll be responsible for. For now, the most important projects are the migration, ad-serving, and subscriptions. It's currently not possible to subscribe to Silicon Investor, but making it possible is a very high priority. Everything else will keep going the way it has been. There's no need to rock the boat too much yet.
