First, Thanks for doing this.

My question: What happened to PriceZombie and why have you been allowed to keep CamelCamelCamel alive? I read a lot of your responses and it seems you've been in contact with Amazon about CamelCamelCamel, and they don't seem to mind. Was there a lesson learned that is pushing CamelCamelCamel in a different direction or plain luck? Been thinking about this for about a year now, glad I have the opportunity to ask.

EDIT Here's a link to the post about PriceZombie shutting down to save anyone some time.

I'm hoping even after this has died you care enough to read all comments. Since there's only 275 i'm about 95% sure, considering Adam22 from a year ago would have read each comment, and clicked on usernames to see who's who. My first question would be why have you never seen to make bmx a more mature environment ? You own thecomeup which is almost all that's relevant, because it's the only thing that's checked everyday. OSS was hot, but has died, and only has the spotlight for a few days when a part/dvd comes out or the store opening. TCU drastically changed when more bloggers were added to the team, and I've seen BMX itself change since around that time. BMX has become really lame in the past 2-3 years, or maybe it's me maturing, but regardless none of my friends like TCU, and only check the site because transworld is hard to navigate, and defgrip doesn't post the "OK" videos. BMX has become increasingly trendy, and immature, and maybe that's because kids are trying "to come up" and what not, but you're in your god damn 30's and had an article where you said fucking weed, a tumblr scum hairstyle and motorcycles were a BMX trend, as if stance socks and doing coke aren't trendy.

I'm asking why keep TCU geared towards internet idiots and teenagers, versus to people who have been with BMX for 10 or so years, or people who caught on to TCU before OSS and all that money hungry shit (TCU-MTB) . Riders don't wanna see instaTony anymore, that was the days of the board, and theB9 and all that shit is dead. I think why TCU is immature now is because you don't care as much anymore, which is sad. Edwin makes BMX big because he's respected and not a child on the internet. You can't expect to make BMX big by saying "get rich quick".
