money makes the world go round

but if it did, nothing would change about the website. much like line skis- the skis will not change at all, just the corporate structure

except... you'd find that if that acquisition did happen, the entire ski gabber forum would be flooded with "what the fuck?! k2 is the devil!" threads, which would mysteriously be deleted...

seriously though, that shit would never happen. that would be like Proctor & Gamble being the title sponsor of Consumer Reports. Or like, Italian Mobs sponsoring news networks.

she's right... actually, NS was bought by Huffy four years ago. all complaints were eliminated... and some complainers too, when their presence became troublesome.

Fuck that, you know we sold out to McDonalds years ago. :)

I don't think we'd sell... you guys would hate us so much it just wouldn't be worth the stress.

think of how sweet the site would be because they would give more money to the people that know what they are doing to run the site, just like what they are doing with Line. Line already knows how to make and develope skis, K2 will just give them more money for R&D and market them better

um that would result it chaos cause if they started to buy everything everything would be the same destroying skiing cause the earths core to stop and super storms starting to form and birds going crazy and everyone dying.......no but it wouldnt happen it would kinda destroy progression cause companies are pushing to make better things and then what would happen cause or like liberty and jibji and stuff paying for the adds on this site but also i dont think the gov would let K2 do too much more cause that would start a monopoly....we learned that the gov can stop them so they dont dominate the competition
