I was probably on the verge of getting banned. I tried to find Troy who was the most previous owner to try and buy him out but never got a response

Chris left shortly before Dale and Deezy were here but it was just not fun anymore maybe 3 posts a day plus dealing with that guy I was in college so I bolted.
I don’t blame you. When I bought this place in 2016. There was maybe 12 people that would sign on, but only myself, Fab, Cwalker and Deezy posted daily and did the live threads. It took years to build this place up again and rebuild trust so Chris came back, Dale agreeing to return to staff, got new people to come in etc. Really happy to see you. I always saw your name in older threads. I even messaged you on here and you replied when you came back.

No one seems to know what happened to Troy. Ben’s come around a couple times since the place has rebounded.

It was rumored that Troy had died at one point just because of the suddeness of it all. Or someone saw something. I got a hold of Ben finally but he was to busy to help try and do anything. Somehow he didn't have Troys info but I was sure at one point they both owned it. Kind of funny how the internet works sometimes.

Twitchy was on Ben’s XenForo account that he nicely told me to get off when I asked for his info lol so I assume he did sell it to Josh. I know Josh sold it Twitchy. Cause I’ve seen the listing. He overpaid for it.

This place has such a long odd history.

They did. Ben owned a forum called Wrestle Club Forums that him and Troy agreed to merge. After that they co-owened WS. Troy disappeared really quickly in 2011 I want to say. He actually wasn’t around that long despite having since reverence. Ben though was until 2013 or so and then dipped without much forewarning. I feel bad for those that built this place. No previous owner ever really gave transparency. Even Twitchy just stopped signing in for six months. He didn’t even know Ruben Jay shut the forums down when I offered to buy them.

I plan to post about its history when the next anniversary pops up. It’s wild. So many forums have been merged with us, too. Like 8.

Yeah I think I originally had a different account here but it's not under any of the usernames I remember. Or Josh did ban me once I dipped lol. There was EWO at one point to that I think may have merged into WCF

Troy probably did die or he’s just good at never returning to the internet. I’d expect with how this place is booming to see him stop in at least once.

I remember at one point on one forum his username was Babyboy. Could just be lurking under a different name at some point. He was an Aussie.

That sounds familiar. There was even two WCFs. One was hacked and Ben made the second one. I don’t believe he even owned the first one.

The owner had to leave for a bit for some reason gave over control and wow that went to shit. Bans everywhere deletions. Probably why I freaked out on Josh so much
