Although they are incorporated, it seemed to me like a small group of people with good ideas, not a headless corporate behemoth that most think of when terms like this are tossed out.

The feel of this community comes more from the members than the owner of the site. That shouldn't change with a change in ownership. Enthusiast vs. business, a business has more to lose so keeping SL going strong could be more important to a business than an enthusiast. And to really get down to it, I don't think Darren has ever actually owned a Scion, has he? Yet he's done an awesome job here.

Just my 2 cents, but I think this will be a good thing.
