I'm curious. Is VenCorps really CH3, or is it a sister site?

I've noticed that my account doesn't allow me to log in there.... Should it? Will I need to create a new one?

If there's a transition to be made, how will it happen? What will happen with my current CH stats (GPs and all)?

Works for me... I saw some speculation in another thread, and thought I'd ask here. I can wait.

What's really going on would probably make it not just a sister site. Seeing how they do not want to talk about it. Like a teenage school girl that just got knocked up. If it really was just a sister site they would not have made such a fuss over a simple news leak.

Why would they leave users hanging? Why would they drop all branding from the original CH? The answer... There not, there is going to be some type of merger in between the two sites at some level. If not going on all ready.

You're bringing your hand, holding a lit match ever so close to a gasoline can. Gosh, I wonder whats going to happen next.

We'll let you guys know as soon as possible. There's a roll-out plan we're following, and we're not bailing on that 'cause of the leak.

That I haven't been active doing everything BUT that is 'cause I'm on coder duties at the moment. Lots of us working on code. If the codes not done then the experience will be suck.

If I supply any info it just leads to more questions and will take time to respond. I'm not touching any questions until we've got "the message" for ya. At that point we'll engage in conversation and there'll be a point 'cause you'll know lots of stuff and possibly see stuff and have questions about that.

AGH. This took to long to write. SEE?!?

See that video? I didn't know that existed. And it was posted here WHILE I WAS WRITING MY REPLY. So I'll just close this browser window now.

Considering the answer to the question.
Is VenCorps going to be CH 3.0? A simple yes or no answer could suffice. I don't think it would have taken all that long to reply.

Hey Kevin,
We're trying to stick to our plan. We've been very excited about this whole thing and would like to be fully prepared before we share it with you guys...as was the plan all along.

Your negativity is reassuringly predictable. Its nice to know somethings never change. Have a great evening.

Although in my mind it is CH's fault for letting the information leak to the press, let's not explode over this, guys. Let's hear it from the source Friday --hopefully no later.

Sounds like there will be a lot of rejoice.

I sure hope they've got the legal issues worked out...

He sounded like a knocked-up teenager practicing how to tell her father she was pregnant. (No offense to any pregnant teens) or (if you're the guy who did it).

I heard they were devoting all assets and talents to the beekeeping software idea that won Ideawarz a few weeks ago.

A merger with Beekware...... pretty impressive move if you ask me. I bet they make out like bandits. Good for you CH.

We had a video message to the community I was working on which was deemed no-longer-appropriate (it was incorporating some older footage of Will Pate). Releasing that video wouldn't really address the questions asked of CH within the last week.

We had a talk last night about releasing a video today. Releasing it on MONDAY is the thing to do as we can cover everything at that point. We're shooting another video with MJ RIGHT NOW.

We will also post a blog (sans video) today, giving community members a very brief head's up. On Monday, there will be a press release and a push to the ch-dot-com site. We're waiting for Monday out of respect for our partners as we've previously agreed on this date.

(Yes, I had help with that last paragraph.)

On the other hand. I’m almost always eventually right.

Oh would you look at that, my epiphany was right about VenCorps and CambrianHouse. Its so reassuring.
