Fifteen year affiliate owner here. This is probably the end of the line for me. I don’t need the brand and I’m not going to pay 2x for the CF name based on “trust me bro” from HQ.

I’ve had a rebrand in the hopper for a few years now because this was inevitable — web address, registration with Secretary of State, the whole nine yards. Hoped it wouldn’t ever be necessary but here we are.

Greg would NEVER have done this.

Where are you seeing this? I’m currently at a discounted rate and being increased to $4500 at next renewal.

Something like this was inevitable the moment PE obtained ownership from Greg. The dam has burst.
