What's going on with LS1tech?
Cliff notes of tech's big scandal right now with "Internet Brands?"

LS1tech was sold in 2007 to Internet Brands, like the InBev of beverage companies, but for automotive websites and various forums. They gave the owners, psj and nb 2 years to still have their hands in the site, then they were out. Well, that 2 years is up, and NB has started a new site, planetlsx.com using the member database from seatstaysup, not the ls1tech.com database. Internet Brands is filing legal action against them for this, although they didnt use the ls1tech member list for their new site. from what I understand that is what is going on, and this has caused many longtime members and moderators to boycott the site.

Wow....didn't realize that they were only keeping nineball and PSJ around for 2 years. Just based on a quick look at the Racer's Lounge on LS1Tech, I think things there will be getting much quieter soon. NB and PSJ both have a huge following, and I'm sure a lot of people will jump to PLSX and not look back save for the occasional search through old tech threads.
Of course, LS1Tech isn't going to be closing it's doors anytime soon - there will still be plenty of action there.

The biggest problem with Tech is the search is in utter chaos. Which in my opinion was the best part of the site. If you wanted to know how a certain mod i.e (header swap, intake install) peformed or the best way to do the job, Tech was great for that.

I'd imagine a couple million. Considering the garage that PSJ and Nine ball have.

Wait, so the owners of LS1tech sell it, and then two years later when its official, start up another site and everyone leaves tech to join? Doesn't seem very ethical at all....

no.... if you joined ssu or ls1tech in the last 2 years (post IB purchasing tech) than you wouldn't automatically be on both because they didn't sell ssu.
but that is why IB is suing nineball and psj
