Hey,
So glad that this is now public knowledge. I'm not sure if I've previously said hi but hi anyway. To many years of you and site stability, I guess!
Was this leaked to you before it was public knowledge for some reason?
Welcome to the website! I'd say don't mind the locals, but I guess that would kind of defeat the purpose of you being here, yeah? Anyway, good to finally see this kind of stuff happening. Fare thee well, Hannes, thanks for the site and the years of upkeep, etc.

What sort of timeframes should we expect to be able to contact the curse team? Obviously there is always leaving a PM but I was just sort of curious as to what hours the curse team regularly holds.
If it's a super important issue you can just PM me I guess, I'd rather have people go through the existing team for 99% of day to day tasks though. We're not changing how the site works but if it's something special, yeah, shoot me a PM.
As for times... I dunno, I'm kinda around all the time. ^^

Locals are pretty fine so far to be honest! It's not really my first rodeo, and it's not the most bouncy one, by far.

No but also, in a sense, yes.
As Teia (thanks!) dutifully noted, I:
Was aware of the change in management.
Was not leaked information.
Was not aware until after the fact.
Made sure that I kept my damn gob shut and did not leak knowledge of this.
Was made aware of the changes in patronage of this site and the wiki; believe it or not, I have some titular role at the latter.
Apologies if you feel that you deserved to know this prior to Boubouille's posting it and apologies if you feel slighted that I knew this before you did.
Thank goodness it is done.
I am very thankful that this transition has been relatively smooth and that Hannes has seen over this sight for so many years, in both times of 'war' and 'peace' (more appropriate words escape my noggin at the moment).
Hi there and welcome; an active owner will greatly help.
I'd like to ask how much advertising we'll see on the website as this is an investment. Curse gaming can take an incredibly long time to fully load when I'm downloading addons for WoW. It also has a lot of problems with my IE so I have to use firefox.
Will there also be an option to donate/contribute to eliminate or reduce advertisements when logged into your forum account? I have seen some websites offer this.
*Grumble Grumble* This wont affect logins, account registration, or anything else Curse likes to bug the crap out of usme with? Will we have the crappy "Curse sites" toolbar at the top of the site, and how will curse premium membership effect the site?
I dislike change.
EDIT: Also, I find it interesting that we haven't been added to the list yet.

I don't have any hard numbers on this, but I'm targeted more often than a black guy driving a beat-up sedan with a broken tail-light and no license plate, and Cy's well aware of that.
If you still want to support the website that you use, or if you can't into AdBlocking programs, presumably. I use Adblock but I put in exceptions for websites and people that I want to support, as much as I despise advertisements.

There are ways to get Premium without paying for it.
For example, staff should be getting complementary Premium (unless they've stopped doing that). Another example: addon authors who meet certain conditions get free Premium.
You should invest in an antivirus software, then. No website is immune, and blocking ads won't prevent your computer from getting malware.
I've watched viruses tear computers with proper (and even BEYOND proper) protection apart. Just because you have a competent antivirus doesn't make you immune to them.

The short answer is the wiki was handled first, so 9909 was privy to that information before the actual announcement.
You could find out without any private information, since the IP of the site (post-maintenance, presumably) is Curse's:

There was a lag of about 2 weeks between the wiki being moved the transfer of forum itself.
Nobody really noticed so.

Curse already has a program to do this:
http://www.curse.com/premium
So I guess it makes sense to ask: will Curse premium members be able to turn off ads (and possibly get other perks)?
