Blimey, I had not realised he was after so much real estate.

  Heather, I am sure you could get you Nick back.. if you really wanted it  ::)

Ah this is the 'big thing' that was announced on Cre8, after his taking over SEOChat and Cre8 (including Kim K-B hehe).

SC has still not had its own (promised) major overhaul tho, so those of you frequenting WMW shouldn't hold your breath either - methinks.

Been a long time since I've been to WMW.  I never thought Brett would part with it.

Interesting. I don't know much more than what's been publicly announced. It sounds like they want to keep the place pretty much the same though.

I'm wondering what Boykin will do with all those forums.  Is the benefit to him branding and exposure?

Wonder what the mods cut will be  ;D.?  Quite a few years ago there were supposed to be shares and payouts made.  I still haven't seen a penny, but did get a few lunches out of pubcon.  

There seems to be a lot of money in conferences as there seems to be more of them sprouting up that I keep getting pitched to attend via various fb groups and online forums.  Maybe I should start a beachcon.com webmaster conference for those that want to come to tropical island and talk shop before heading out for a fine evening.

That works. Trust me on this.

And you never will. Hell, if Brett could charge you to be a moderator there he would.

Ouch!  Considering that about half his original staff is here...

Off the top I have to say that the conferences will be a lot less of a draw without WMW for their sounding board.

Hehe, yeah I know so that's why I threw it out there as there will be none of the promised.

Beachcon.com-- taken by a contractor called beach contractors.
Beachcon.org--Some sort of gamer site.
Beachcon.net-- Available.

I remember a few years back there was a webmasters in the sun conference which was for progressive marketers in the affiliate space and every year it was held at different venues and ended up in a lot of deals being put together.
