Yeah... I haven't been around a lot. Fuck the hurricanes. Still dealing with stuff from both harvey and irma. That and I started a new job and gotten married. It's pulled a lot of my time away from things.
I've recently made the decision to sell the company though and have been in talks with a couple of people. Just trying to get things straightened out and get the site back together.
Just for an update, in February we launched our site again. This is based on the same software style we originally launched with when we first started. Our dealer network is back active again on it. Switching to BigCommerce turned out to be a horrible decision or us. I'm pretty happy with it again. That said we are planning to add about 150-200 products over the next couple of weeks again. Just want the site back in the condition it was in before Big Commerce. Then I'll be addressing the sale of the company.
I will say this, it's been a blessing to have created this company on this site with the input of a lot of the forum members. I never received a paycheck from FEVER but it is hard to imagine that this thing started with only $400 and a bunch of us idiots talking in a chat room. I've met a lot of amazing people in this industry... and well... quite a few assholes. For the most part though, I cherish the entire experience and the life long friends I have made because of FEVER and ELB. I'll probably be on ELB more though once it's sold. I'm not really ruling out anything as far as the sale goes. I'm just waiting to see how things play out. Some people have expressed interest in wanting me to be a part of it still. Some really just want to gut it and use it for whatever they can.
My first priority will be ensuring that our sub dealers and loyal customers are taken care of. That's pretty important to me.
That said, maybe I should give away some more stuff soon. I have some Hats, shirts, aluminum bottles, koozies, and other promotional items I might as well give away.
