Scionlife Going Corporate
Q: Why did Internet Brands buy ScionLife?
A: Internet Brands’ mission is to empower consumers to make better decisions about buying and maintaining their most important purchases, such as cars and homes. ScionLife’s users offer outstanding advice and support for Scion owners and shoppers, newbies and veterans alike, which should be a very good fit with the rest of the Internet Brands Automotive sites.
Q: Will ScionLife become part of another Internet Brand site?
A: Internet Brands plans to keep ScionLife a separate, thriving site and to continue expanding its content, community and traffic.
Q: Are Darren and Troy going to continue at ScionLife?
A: Yes. They will continue their current level of involvement on the site and in the community.
Q: What changes can we expect to see on ScionLife?
A: It's hard to predict far into the future, but for the time being, ScionLife will remain essentially unchanged. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. The main near-term addition you’ll probably notice is that Internet Brands will figure out with Darren and Troy the most logical places to put links to relevant content on other IB Automotive sites. Beyond that, Internet Brands plans to brainstorm with the admins and moderators of ScionLife about improvements that would make the site more useful.
Q: How will the acquisition help ScionLife?
A: The main benefit will be having more infrastructure and technology resources behind the site. Better servers and hardware will mean better performance for the site and admin tools. And more technology resources will mean faster bug-fixes, quicker turnaround on site changes and more frequent updates in site software, like vBulletin or photo-posting applications.

I don't know if any of you have noticed, but the site has ads on it. Google ads and ads from sponsers. Does everyone think the site was run for free as a public service? At some point in any successful business it is necessary to "go public" so to speak. If Darren made some money out of this--good for him--that is the American Dream is it not?
