Yup, things are just like we left them on March 1, 2014 when we sold the other GBO to Tactical Republic. They bought two domains from us and as part of the deal were allowed a copy of the database on that date.
When Matt set this site up he used the same database they copied from our servers back then. So all passwords folks had on that date are still what those old accounts have here today.
Unlike TR Matt didn't even require you to immediately change your old password.
I'm not real sure how Vertical Scope wound up owning the site. My contact at TR sent me an e-mail one day telling me they were merging with VS, he didn't explain just what that meant. These days VS owns most of the websites folks visit.
