It’s kind of funny… when I use to help run OverclockersClub.com, I’d get messages from people asking about buying the site. I’d laugh, and pass the message on to Matt (aka LinuXProX). Matt would laugh, and say he got those messages all the time, and then say OCC meant to much to him, and that he’d never sell it for any amount of money.
I use to believe that… I wonder if he’d still say that today.
Truth is, since I stepped down from my position at OCC to begin work on my own site, I haven’t heard from Matt. Well, that’s not entirely true… much of the reason I quit, was because of the lack of communication from Matt. He was always busy with something, yet no one knew what, and it was pretty clear that the something was not OCC.
Matt later brought Dave (Bosco) in to help run the site in my absence, which is kind of funny considering I had originally taken over for Dave when he left. :p As Matt was less and less active, he gave Dave a “site manager” position which basically made him the assistant admin. This was probably one of the better things to happen to OCC in a long time.
Well here it is almost a year after all that took place. Dave is doing a fine job with OCC, all things considered… and Matt, well, not much has changed there from what I’m told.
Now, here is where the rumor starts. And I’d like to stress that this is just a rumor.
I’ve been told by two different people (friend of a brother of a friend of someone who heard something kind of thing) that some big news is about to hit OCC. It is being sold. To whom or what, I do not know. Like I said, this is just a rumor.
The logical choice, would be to sell OCC to Dave…. assuming that Matt still cares about OCC as much as he use to. Then again, if he just wanted to cash out, he could sell it to some network like IGN/GameSpy or maybe even the Warcry Network (Matt had a thing with someone there).
So, that’s the rumor… it may very well turn out to be false information.
Dave… feel free to comment, or shoot me a message. I know you’re still reading this site.
