Most of my best poker memories revolve around these forums and its legends. Thank you Mason, David and the rest of the OGs for that.

And to the new team, all the best.

I joined in 2003 and Im amazed so much time has passed. It taught me a lot over the years. Thanks to you and all the admins that have kept this website running. It takes true dedication to stay with it that long.

I find sharing content with poker players if it is game related or stuff like in OOT has been a great place to express opinions, views, and share a laugh. This website has helped grow the game of poker. I hope it continues to have a great future.

Wow. Thanks a ton for everything that has gone into creating and sustaining this amazing forum.

I am a long-time reader of 2+2, with an occasional post here and there. I'm a purely rec player, but I enjoy reading about many aspects of the poker world. If you want to know or learn about virtually anything related to poker, this is the first site I recommend.

Best wishes during the transition.

New buyers will add 2+2 to their portfolio of myspace, icq and msn and are looking to diversify with colombia house and blockbuster video stock

I have an important announcement to make. This website, www.twoplustwo.com has been sold. It’s hard to believe that it was 24 years ago when twoplustwo.com was launched, and at that time when we started with just one forum, we thought it was only fifty-fifty we would get a post. But here we are many years and over 60 million posts later, and it’s time for new younger people to take over and make this site better than it has ever been.

Many of you will be familiar with the new owners since they are the same people who have brought you the Hand2Note HUD which is highly thought of throughout the poker industry. And I expect them to post soon in this thread

Our reasons for selling twoplustwo.com at this time is simply that those of us, including myself, who run this site are getting old, and I’ll be 70 this fall. So, when the offer came in to sell the site to new younger people who are on top of all the latest programming technology and who should have the ability to make this site better than it ever was, we felt that the time was right and would be best for everyone, including those of you who are members of the Two Plus Two Community.

I want to give special thanks to those who helped with the launching of this site: David Sklansky, Chuck Weinstock, Mat Sklansky, and Ray Zee. I also want to thank Mike Johnson and Adam Schwartz who hosted our Two Plus Two PokerCast for many years, to Bryan “Dynasty” Clark who has been our magazine editor for the past fifteen years, to Steven McLoughlin for help with some of our most important marketing in the past, to Bob Holmes who has been our advertising representative for many years, to Kiera Goetz who has assisted us with some of our computer programming when we needed a lot of help, and to Mike Minkoff who has helped us with so many things I couldn’t begin to list them all. In addition, a special thanks goes to our volunteer moderators who have worked tirelessly to make this site as good as it could possibly be and to our advertisers who thanks to their support have allowed twoplustwo.com to exist. And finally, a special thanks to Jessica Vecchione for suggesting that we create this web site way back in 1997.

Also, we’ll be going through a transition period, so Mat Sklansky, Chuck Weinstock, and myself will certainly be active for some time to come. After that, we’ll just be posters like everyone else (and I expect to be posting for a long time).

Enjoy!

I've enjoyed the site and appreciate all the work and effort that went into making it what it was and is.

However, God help this community if the buyers are the same (very successful) people who bought bj21 and nearly all the other gambling sites around.

Will we finally get banned for trolling Sklansky now or it is still fair game?

Yes, thanks for all the good times Mason, I hope the new owners leave well alone.
I suppose they will feel compelled to tinker here and there but its evolved to what it is now, so dont change much can you hear.

Can't think of any recent forum upgrade that made a site better for the user. Hope to be proven wrong in case they go for the modern look.

Hopefully they have some sense to let it run as it should. If it nukes itself to the ground, that'd be such a waste.

If they put a tasteful commercial section or whatever, I doubt anyone would care. If they just use the model it formerly had. If they start dicking around a la AmayaStars ****, gg one of the last semi intelligent pockets of the web.

Definitely. The internet since ~2013 / the proliferation of smartphones has just been on a constant degrade from a content perspective. It's hard to have a reasonable discussion on almost any normal major pocket out there.

And while 2p2 is far from perfect, it's still a great place to hang out and check in on what's going on even though I'm long since retired from poker specifically.
