    Default Cat is out of the bag.... Importatlanta.com SOLD.

    Well guys, I figured is time to let you all know.. Some already knew of this move since it happened.

    I feel is time to do so..

    Importatlanta.com has been sold to AMG INTERACTIVE, LLC. The CEO of this company is Raj Kalra. The site was sold January, 2008.

    It has been a pleassure running/owning Importatlanta.com Since the project started in 2000..

    Is time to move on.. Paul made a small annoucement at Tunerfest last year, but we think no one payed attention.

    Anyways, Importatlanta was my baby.. I know for some of you is entertainment on all levels and a way to kill time.. But no one was as serious as Paul and Myself.. That was my goal when I started Importatlanta.

    Importatlanta.com has brought alot of peeps together since Feb 24th 2001...

    To much great things happened in the last 10 years to list.. All I know I was 21 years old and now Im 31...

    But We thank you for the support through the years.....

    Be on the lookout for TFS as we still own this event and hopefully we can continue to do it.. only time will tell.

    So, AMG INTERACTIVE now owns Importatlanta.com. What they do? I'm not really sure.. what are the plans with the Site ? I'm not sure either.. I know Atif ( member on here ) is an employee of AMG INTERACTIVE and he may operate the site.. I dont know...

    Importatlanta.com cost me about $20 bucks to start and what came it out of it... has no price really.. even after it sold..

    I meet so many great people and friends that until this date I still interact with some on a regular basis...

    Of course, I will still be around and so will Paul.. what will be our Future with Importatlanta.. Atleast on my part, I dont know.. I know I will be a member and as of right now.. I still have the biggest BAN hammer.. and have the key to shut this bitch down.. lmao..

    No, but seriously, all transfer are coming up pretty soon.... just got to finish some paper work and is a wrap..... we will let you all know when we are done with Importatlanta.com 100%. As of right now, we are still somewhat involved.

    So thank you all members/OG's/Mods/ suppporters and Sponsors.. It has been a great run...


    HAPPY POSTING!

    As long as IA wasnt sold to autoguide or autoforums, i think we could be alright. If you need a forum to be driven into the ground and start a max exodous, let them run a forum.............

    Congrats on the sale.

    Thanks alot to all of you have made this site happen. I have been a member of other sites but nothing has ever compared to Import Atlanta. I have become an addict to this site. I know I havent been a member of this site for long but I have been checking it out since I was 16 years old and I am 21 now. Thanks for all the hard work guys.

    Dahm. I haven't been a memebr for that long either, but I have lurked for about 4 yrs. Ever since i saw your car, jeffs yellow civic, and other cars up at UAB sporting the importatlanta stickers. Man, I hope things stay the same, but sometimes change is a good thing. IA has def become an addiction. It's my homepage at the moment!!!! Lol

    not sure what the whole deal with the sale is aboot, but congrats to the original founders. making some site a decade ago thinking it was nothing but a place to interact & shit with their fellow buddies has now turned into some wannabe business for others. who'da'thunk??
    I guess they see some potential in owning a car site that could bring some big time sponsors or whatnot.

    either way this doesn't affect my life one bit

    I hope they don't fuck up this site too much--new higher ups usually mean new rules... i just hope we all don't have to obey some gay dress code or something, because i would quit in a heart beat, ya dig?
