Link doesn't work. Also, what is the petition for?

Explain your cause.

Petition wrote:These new people have had the company for a few weeks, and already they lack the personal touch of the old owners. These new people seem to care to much about the money aspect. Which wasnt what WF and Tony, Howard, Tim and John were about. They would all be on the forums, several times a day, within a few minutes of my first post, I recieved I PM welcoming me to the forum, and commenting on my name origionaating from a Benard Cornwell book, we then have a conversation spanning 8 messages about him as an author. The old crew listened to the community, and thats why I want them back. They weren't comapany owners to us, they were very like us, fellow hobbyists who wanted to give something back.

So... they want the new owners to sell the company back to the old owners...? Because the new owners (of a couple of weeks) have not sent him a personal PM to get to know him?

Really don't think that is going to happen

That tbh is mcuh shortened version the old owners had a personal flare that cared about the community, and asked they're views, the pretty muched lived on the forums, whereas the new people seem to only care about the money aspect. Just my 2 cents really, but I think anyone is too keen on the new owners.

Old ones sold it, deal with it. They have a company to run.

They sold it, new people actually want to make money. Sorry, but online petitions are just about as helpful (if not less) than writing emails. If you want a decent response, have people mail physical (paper and envelope) letters to the company.

I hope this company goes under as the giant steaming pile that it has and always will be.

My 2 cents.

Your petition, assuming the quoted portion is the extent of it, has an incomplete sentence (not to mention one of the longest spanning run-ons I've ever seen) and lacks some sort of focus or goal. Like it or not, the grammar part detracts from the impact of your statement, and the lack of goal makes it seem emotional and poorly thought out. It's like picketing something without having any notion of what you want to have change. And to make matters worst, you're doing it via an internet petition, which is basically auto-ignore time anyway.

Privately owned companies aren't some Democratically fueled happyland that you can control the ownership of by making enough of a hissyfit and having enough people join in. They got bought out. It sucks a lot of times, but there's not much you can do about it.

With you here, everything from them looks like some £1 store toy.

That basically just happened, when the money-losing hobby guys folded and had to sell off to guys who will actually try to make the company survive.

No, and not just because this is one of the least thought out internet petitions I have ever seen.

That was a spur of the moment one, and I have abandoned it and made a better one that actually makes sense.
Could a mod lock this please?
