I just hope it doesn't change things for all the posters here!

This has been a jolly good forum, they say it won't change but how often have we heard that statement when one is taken over by another?

My fingers are crossed.

I can't see the forum changing much, although I suppose we might get more adverts and a restructure of the boards. The mainstream Pure Money boards ought to be fine.

One door closes another opens, no doubt a new independant website may open up to take this ones place.

No it won't.

Why is this in the Savings & Investments forum anyway? It's way off topic.

Looks like with or without the sale, the site had been doing very well. From the BBC site

In the 12 months to the end of last October, MoneySavingExpert generated revenues of nearly £16m from 39 million users.

A lot of the regulars to here don't tend to go to other parts of the forum, so it gives them a chance to discuss it.
