I was just listening to the podcast, what's up with the Jeep sites being bought by companies? What sites have been sold? Any info on the companies that bought them?

Copied from my post in the Episode 63 thread:

"Speaking of Jeep forums being purchased by non Jeep companies. Here are some threads regarding such issues.


http://www.cherokeeforum.com/f18/ste...own-cf-156832/ (looks like a falling out with multiple mods is happening.)
Appears CF is owned by a company called Internet Brands. (http://www.internetbrands.com/our-brands/automotive/) JK-Forums.com owned by the same company.

Cherokeetalk.com was recently (Oct 2012) purchased by Autoguide.com (http://www.autoguide.com/forums.html). From their website it appears this is their first Jeep forum.

I knew about cf, but not the others. Nice detective work.
