As of Monday, I have taken back 100% ownership in all CycloneFanatic assets. Due to some issues with those that were supposed to join us, I've made the decision to sever all ties to the parties in question.
While this will end the optional CF Extras product, I have some plans that will allow us to have a much better media-type product while remaining of very low cost, or idealy, free. I want to thank all of you that subscribed to CF Extras and you can expect a refund on your purchase.
All of our members have made this site a huge success and I'm not about to let that change. Please accept my sincere gratitude for everything all of you have done here on CF. We have a lot of things in the works that I'm sure will make you happy!
Sincerely,
Jeremy Lind

Thank you for being up front with us and making what I am sure is the best decision for the site. I look forward to more of the same great product on here moving forward.

Wow, that was short lived. However, I'm happy to hear the site is back 100% in your control. Thanks for running a great place for fans to meet.

Well the bad part is that I was to use the money from the partial sale to put as the downpayment on our new house next week but that is obviously not going to happen
Anyways, I couldn't sleep at night having been in this partnership so I'm back to running things out of the pocket. If anybody wants to help with writing things for the front-page or with other content, just let me know.

Jeremy, this clearly is going to suck short-term. However, I think the long-term you'll be much better off.
Thanks for taking one in the shorts for the better good of the site.

Maybe everyone here should give a donation to CF! No matter how much, I am sure it would help Jeremy! |

I don't currently have another method but I'll put it on my things to do list. I've had a couple people in the past say they don't use PayPal so I'll try and find an alternate method. Thanks!
