Hi Everyone:

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).

Best wishes,
Mason

cognrats, amazing job u did

Thanks Mason and DS and MS and everyone else who made this site so valuable for so long

Much appreciated. 17 years and 40000+ posts since I wondered into a book shop in Charing Cross Road ...

Ditto to all the positive things that have been said.

This site has been a great resource for learning about poker fundamentals, keeping the community honest (how many cheating scandals did this site break open?), and keeping up to date with the poker community.

Thanks to the owners and moderators for all the hard work it took to keep the site on the right path!

you've averaged ~6.5 posts per day for 17.5 years. pretty sick! what's crazy is that i don't think i've ever seen your username before. quite the testament to how massive of a forum this really is!

i know i've seen a few accounts with higher post counts but who actually has made the most posts? can we get a top 10 list or something?

Thanks for your time guys. Good luck with your next adventure. Really come to appreciate this site over the years as other parts of the internet just never had the same quality vibe.

Thank you. I'm not a pro poker player but this site has been a valuable resource and for free at that. All the best.

I didn’t spend a lot of time on the forum (except around Black Friday), but I absolutely devoured the 2+2 Pokercast. Thanks for bringing all of this to me. I hope the new owners will consider bringing the Pokercast back under the 2+2 umbrella with Adam and Terrance at the helm.

Mason etal - Thank you for the years of effort and establishing the forum that allowed so much gaming information to be shared. We can only hope the new owners will be as involved and concerned with the poker community as you and your group has been over the years.

Jeez...to think that over a decade ago I only used to visit this site just to visit BB4VLife and then you got me all wrapped up in Poker.
Enjoy your retirement sir. You deserve it.

Been here 15yrs and would've probably never gone the way I did in my poker career without 2p2. Thanks for all the learning, memories and people I've met through here.

Enjoy the retirement, Mason!

Some of the threads on here are time capsules into some of the great moments in poker history.

Great job guys I hope you have something fun lined up for life after 2p2
