Zealot.com Crowdgather Merger

About the Zealot.com Deal

This is one of my longest term projects.  I’ve put a ton of heart and effort into building up this community to where it is today.  As it stands, Zealot.com has over 30,000 members all of whom are very zealous about their hobby.

And what a bumpy road it was.  Along the way there were numerous points when I thought I would loose everything, or ready to just throw in the towel.  Thank goodness I kept with it.  I’m very proud of what I accomplished with Zealot.com and that I didn’t let the community down in the end.

I won’t go into much detail about the transaction, other than to say they paid 50% cash, and the other 50% in equity.  So, I remain involved with Zealot.com, but now there is an incredible support team involved that can do much more than I ever could on my own.

And, that leads to why I choose this time to transact with Zealot.com.  It may have been overdue.  For some time I felt that my technical skills were holding back the community from climbing to the next level.  In fact, if Zealot.com were the only project I had on my plate, I am sure I would not have had to worry about it.  Juggling multiple projects often meant that all of them got second class treatment, and now that’s not a concern anymore for Zealot.com.

    Kind of wish you were still there. The current admin bans people for linking to external websites…

    Sorry to hear that DensityDuck. I did offer to stay involved with them, but they’ve left me totally out of the loop.
