Huge News for the Future of ActiveRain

I woke up happy this morning and what captivated my senses upon the Saturday morning wake-up moment was that One Singular Sensation, that feeling of excitement and joy knowing that my friends and I on ActiveRain were going to be alright, thanks to Ben Kinney and the return of Bob Stewart. Just knowing that the pain and suffering of the unknown tensions that were caused by slow keystrokes and a broken system will be addressed is enough to make me smile because hope is possible!

Trust forward, I know that Ben & Bob, two cog-wheels that fit well together will keep ActiveRain in motion moving forward and not backward. The miracle of joy is overwhelming. I slept well and I woke up elated. I know I'm not the only one who looks forward to the dawn of day to begin the morning on ActiveRain and this one Singular Sensation was on my mind. When one or two people champion positive change it can make everyone more motivated, determined, and inspired to keep going. This new period of adjustment is worth it and from now on I foresee trained professionals that will immerse themselves in doing what each man does best.

Ben & Bob, they have that song, the beat, the scripts, and the meets with an assortment of educational knowledge and expertise. We are all kicking up our heels and happy and last night I couldn't stop talking about it in my sleep. The dream team is back! Thank you Ben & Bob!

I feel the same way, Patricia. It was a struggle to stay commited to AR ( bless Kerrie's heart) with the two evil empires at the helm. I realize they are not evil people indivually, but I'm so against their methods and the premise (Realtor, too.) If not for all of the other Rainers in this platform who have become family, I would be long gone. Yay!

Yes Debb Janes - we were rolling, rolling, rolling down the river....

But now all that has changed!!! To quote Lincoln: "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power."

Kathy Streib - I can see clearly through the glasses of hope! It's easy to lose sight of your aspirations and dreams when you're dragging and feeling defeated. Hope is the power that raises the dead before its depth and breadth is gone. There IS power in the RAIN!

That's the spirit Kathleen Luiten! You can't miss what you didn't know and the fact that you derived benefits, friends, and learning opportunities speaks volumes for the quality of people who stand behind a product and unite because without support, all infrastructure fails.

Patricia, Ben and Bob worked well together in the past and I am sure they will work well together again. Lets hope they restore back some of the values this site was founded on.

I haven't really known anything but turmoil on here since I joined. The countless blog posts about how this site used to be so much better were almost enough to get me to stop blogging months ago but I kept pressing forward. I can feel everyone's optimism with this new sale so I hope it returns to the glory days that I've heard so much about.

Hello Patricia,

I am cautiously optimistic as my thrill with the Rain has been waning. We'll see what the future brings and if it becomes the platform of old, or a voice for a specific brokerage.

Good morning Patricia. I am always delighted when a business is privatized and taken out of the hands of corporate America. I'm assuming that AR is being purchased as a profit center, so we all need to keep that in mind.

Looking forward to seeing what changes might take place here?!?

Some great people have been hurt and lost over the years with all these acquisitions and transitions. While they may never return or even care about AR anymore, there are those of us who helped build this site and our hearts are in a great state of hope and faith that something good will happen with Bob Stewart back in the saddle!

I miss the good ol' days when Jon, Bob, Brad and Rich ran ActiveRain!

You know Patricia, it is hard to put a cap on this excitement. I feel it too. ActiveRain is a small part of each of our lives but that small part of what we do each day has greatly affected us. Our family is here, the ones who care about us without the sibling rivalry and jealousy. I can't wait!

Luck is a funny thing. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad. It just is.

With this recent turn of events, it seems the ActiveRain community has just stumbled itself into a well of good luck.

Soon, the newbies will know why the veterans are so jazzed.
