So what's your guess?
 
On the SCS homepage, Daven just started a multi-part series that will reveal 'important SplitGoastStampers news'.

So what do you think Daven's going to tell us?

hollylogic 07-15-2008 01:56 PM

Okay, I'll guess first:

Tracey's expecting, so they're bringing in some new management to keep things running while Daven takes time off to tenderly care for the mother-to-be and the baby (or maybe babies?) when they come.

[Note to Daven: see what comes of leaving us to our imagination too long?]

maybe the b is for BBBroke, that daven had taken the plunge and quit his day job and they were broke for a little while, but then they used their BBBBrains and figured out how to make it work, and BBBeate turned into a super hero named super BBBabe and had this awesome scheme to get us all addicted to BBBuying stamps and embelishments ect.

just kidding!

indyemmert 07-15-2008 02:39 PM

Maybe they'll announce who will replace JulieHRR as head of the Dirty Dozen team.

Phantom 07-16-2008 10:21 AM

It's got to be something really big, don't you think?? I think all of that build-up and history must be leading up to something fairly dramatic. I can't wait to find out!!

Mahloumel 07-16-2008 10:44 AM

I bet it's that SCS is going to go public and we'll be able to buy shares on the NYSE!

Or maybe they got a wealthy investor who wants them to form the LeAgue of Extraordinary Stamping Superheroes (LASSes for short) who go out and fight, um, bad things. That would explain JulieHRR's sudden departure, doncha think? ;) Every team of superheroes needs a great leader, after all!

Joan B 07-16-2008 11:16 AM

Hmm...perhaps someone is buying out the Noltas and there will be a new owner!

Momofoneson 07-16-2008 11:22 AM

My guess would be a store, a stampin store with lots of stampin goodies.

This is my guess as well - another site I frequent craftster.org was "aquired" over by another company...NameMedia that runs online communities - from what I understand is they work with the "founders'...

so far I haven't really any difference in Craftster at all

Momofoneson 07-16-2008 11:35 AM

Good for the owners here if it is so, but really not so sure it is good for the members. Certain things stayed the same at 2peas but other things like the image rights changed so I no longer post images over there. The new TOU says that 2Peas parent company can use your images in whatever way they choose without getting your permission.

No updates today on the home page?

jbalcer 07-17-2008 08:23 AM

Daven's en route to Chicago. Look for an update later today. :)

Phantom 07-17-2008 09:12 AM

Thank you, Jenn!! I should have let him know that if he really doesn't like to see that blank page, he can call me and dictate, and I can type really really fast LOL!! Can you tell that I'm a little curious?? ;)

Suzy_H 07-17-2008 09:27 AM

Wild guess: Someone whose name starts with a J will replace Julie.

dgmlmax 07-17-2008 09:38 AM

Since I read the first installment, I've had a feeling that something major is about to happen. I wasn't sure what to think because I'm not familiar with the inner workings (the people or the tech stuff) but now that I've read this thread.... I'm seeing a big SOLD sign in my head!

Although, it would be great for those who worker so hard for all of us to enjoy this amazing site.... I will be bummed! I love this site as is!!!!

Dina

PS: I've checked the home page about 10 or so times today already!

JenMarie 07-17-2008 10:07 AM

I love this site so much, my heart is aflutter with speculation!!! http://www.cosgan.de/images/smilie/liebe/s045.gif

Chicago, huh. Maybe he's going to endorse Barack Obama. . . . .

Phantom 07-17-2008 10:31 AM

Oh boy... please don't let Current Events talk invade the General forum!! If I have to mix politics and stamping I'll just cry :( ;)

Or go to CHA ... :) I'm at the airport now, Sara's heading out layer, Lori's already there .... We'll be blogging again. Hope to share lots of good stuff!

hollylogic 07-17-2008 10:35 AM

Sorry, Nancy--Obama was the first thing that came to mind when Jenn said Chicago.

It's probably CHA-related. . . .

ROTFLMBO!

UGH! I would, too!

Mahloumel 07-17-2008 10:42 AM

Hey wait, if Team SCS is going to Chicago, mebbe the big news is that Daven's going to be on Oprah!!!

hollylogic 07-17-2008 10:46 AM

Ohmygosh, maybe *Oprah* is buying SCS!!!!

chickers089 07-17-2008 10:49 AM

I was thinking Oprah too, lol

scrappincat 07-17-2008 10:51 AM

I'm kinda scared actually. I've never been real good with change, and I love this place soooooo much just as it is!

I'm sure whatever it is, it'll be all fine and well.............I'm just a little anxious.

Suzy_H 07-17-2008 10:53 AM

Oh wait - I heard Oprah is replacing Julie. Gail will be taking over the Oprah show.

Carole4312 07-17-2008 10:53 AM

Oprah :o buying SCS ??? Nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh !

InkStazOnMe 07-17-2008 12:33 PM

Maybe SCS will have a corporate sponsor?

catdidit 07-17-2008 12:40 PM

Goodness, I've been under a rock.....

PeaceandJoy 07-17-2008 12:46 PM

My guess is that they are going to open an on-line only store that will have items from all of the great partner businesses (or whatever they are called) - Crafty Secrets, GinaK, Bella Stamps, etc. so that we can choose to order items from lots of vendors w/out paying crazy shipping to all of them. I want an item or two from several of them - but refuse to pay high shipping for one little item, so don't order. Now if they were all available at one site, and I could order them all and pay a reasonable shipping fee for the total number of things I'd ordered, I'd be THRILLED!

OMGosh, that would be fantabulous!

serialpurrs 07-17-2008 01:19 PM

I fear the worst (have been through a couple of buyouts elsewhere and it never went well) and hope for the best such as an online one stop store for all member companies.

My hubby works for Anheuser-Busch - do I need to say anything else about fear & buyouts?:twisted:

Nah, Barack is too busy running for President to pay any attention to the state he represents in the Senate...

I wonder if SU is looking at it...everyone often remarks about how the SCS site blows the SU one out of the water! 8)

Yeah and my husband's company had a buy out too and they let him go the day before 4th of July. Don't mention buyouts to me...:twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

tay0479 07-17-2008 02:47 PM

Well whatever "it" is. I hope it doesn't change SCS to much. I love it the way it is. I would agree with the others in a buy out scenario.

Mahloumel 07-17-2008 02:52 PM

Nnnooo I don't want Oprah to buy the site (HarpoStampers? HOS for short?), become a senator, and then lay everyone off the day before the long weekend!

ctorina 07-17-2008 04:22 PM

I only live ten minute from the convention center in Chicago, Do you want me to go sit in the lobby and stalk Daven???
