- Dracophoenix 5y agoI don't think I've hear of heard of VerticalScope but I aware of Internet Brands. What niche forums did they kill?
- Scoundreller 5y agoVS bought out a lot of the automotive forums. Also now owners of RedFlagDeals if you're a Canadian. Surprisingly difficult to find a complete list. There's 100% an opportunity for someone to bring on a bunch of subreddit admins into starting a new automotive forum network. Reddit and Facebook don't work well for car stuff. https://old.reddit.com/r/4x4/comments/hw1p3a/vertical_scope_forum_killers/ https://old.reddit.com/r/4x4/comments/hw1p3a/vertical_scope_... Also a bunch of tech and gun forums. Supposedly over 1000 properties, but it's not like I'm going to recognize that they own "mothering.com"
