1) the mk-solutions site is way to basic
2) it contains frames to small for the text(making a scroll bar at the bottom)
3) it has no copyright information
4) the "clients" that have been linked have no info about mk-solutions... only interlopers
5)its april 1st... if there really was going to be a corporate take over it would be to un professional to have it on this day and to have it dropped on the public to suddenly

nice try blink :P

Guys, I don't think this is a joke. They've deleted 3 of the boards, locked the biggest thread here, and have their ads almost everywhere.

I'm trying to calm down about this sudden change. It took me completely by surprise. Perhaps it will turn out for the better, but it will take some getting used to...

The man in the banner on the interlopers frontpage looks awfully similar to the man in R&B Web Solutions's poster, http://www.rbws4me.com/Services.html

You can also find this man by typing "business man" into Google image search, and you'll be pleasantly surprised to see that he's on the first page :P

They haven't deleted the boards, Blink has just hidden them from the public. And threads can easily be unlocked :P

We left it up to Simon to decide when he wanted to make the announcement, as it was his site after all.

Websites don't stop at weekends, hence us working on this project on a weekend. Part of our aim is to run our clients' websites around the clock.

Our other client websites pay us to run their site so there is no need for our company name on the actual site itself. In this case we have paid Simon to give us rights to Interlopers so we can freely advertise our company brand wherever we wish.

We purchased our advertising model photos from a website that offers such a service, it is possible an image that looks similar may show up on another website.

With regard to our company website, it is a brand new site as you've pointed out and is being updated all the time. I'll pass your feedback onto our webmaster.

Many thanks
Robert

The deleted boards are backed up, threads can be unlocked easily, and those made up ads can be taken off in no time.

Congratulations, youve been fooled.

Ok, that's it! I'm leaving until I know this is true or false. I'm sure it's true, but I just don't know! And I'm not going to be the laughing stock of the forum if it really is a joke, which I highly doubt! :evil:

Good day... :cry:

Well if this is a joke, then it's a bad joke. And the MK-Solutions website is so badly done, lol. Another thing that makes this seem as a joke is the slogan: "mk-solutions - here to manage you". Lol, that is so condescending, would any company want it as their slogan? :mrgreen:
Plus, besides the advertising space, what does this company gain by purchasing this website?

What we gain is our presence on the web. Mk-Solutions is still a fairly young and new company. But by taking over and managing popular websites, we gain the ability to expand.

I.e. soon we will have the time and funding to change our company's website to a more professional stature. We will also be able to launch better looking advertisement and publicity campaigns. What you see here and on other sites are still the old advertisements from when we first started up.

But right now we are going to try and focus on getting Interlopers back into shape. When that is done, and this site is more popular than ever, we gain the option to sell the website again.

It is a risky business, but we do it with love. :-)
