As a local Richmonder I'm very happy to hear the store is reopening, and apparently in good hands.

Any information on who the new owners are, and what their history with the hobby is?

So there's wasn't a bankruptcy thing here, or was there?

Regardless if there was or wasn't, all assets can be sold and proceeds used to pay off creditors in an order approved by the trustee overseeing the bankruptcy. The name change is a clear indicator that FTW no longer operates as a business entity, and that entity can still continue through the bankruptcy courts while the new name goes on as a new business entity.

Sorry Famine, but judgedoug is a long time member of the site who also claims to have a bunch of experience with the guy and has relationships with people who have had bad experiences. You're a guy with 24 posts calling him out. I don't know Rob, and I've had no interactions with him, but Doug is a pretty decent guy, and according to him, Rob has been in a very similar situation before. I'm certainly going to trust Doug before I trust you (seeing as how you're at opposing views). Experience is the name of the game, and this site has lots of experiences with "issue people".

Conversely, I've met and gamed with Rob, while both you and judgedoug could be internet bots for all I know.

I can't speak to anything being discussed in this thread, but it certainly seems like poor behavior on judgedoug's part to be throwing around a lot of vague insinuations, especially when none of us are in command of the facts.

Rob, you and I hung out at Gamesday 2007~ event when you first showed your Genestealer Cult. I've know his crew/friends and have hung out with him a half dozen times since then.

Some people can make mistakes - lots of mistakes in this economy. The pre order is a valid point - but he's been an active member for years and doesn't seem to be going away any time soon

Good luck Rob, I hope this is cleared up
