I guess when you sell your business, you no longer have a say as to how the new owners run the business

Bit of a bugger, though I’m sure he’ll still be flying and meeting people, just in a different role.

Hmm. Doesn't look like a happy ending (though probably financially).

He has just been flying around with SMD2

Thanks for posting drron - I don't go on FT much these days so probably wouldn't have seen this.

So, what happened? Did he sell Flyertalk to another business?

Quite some time ago (maybe a year or two - even longer?) I think. AFAIK he has remained in some sort of consulting role ever since.

March 07, he has been grandfathering it ever since. I think the pudding guy gave him a free trip to Aruba as thanks for the tips and hard work

March 2007, here is a link to the announcement. FlyerTalk Forums - View Single Post - Q/A with Internet Brands (purchase of FlyerTalk)

There is another thread in Only Randy Petersen forum where Internet Brands was to be sold.

2 people from Internet Brands were at the FT Awards dinner.

You mean this thread… *cough, cough*

It is kind of sad really and I'm sorry to see him go.

A small group of us had drinks with Randy at Young & Jacksons in Melbourne a few years ago. Randy proved to everyone present that he is a true and extremely unassuming gentleman.

Unless my memory is failing those present were Randy Peterson, serfty, Mrs serfty, Mwenenzi, tuapekastar, Mrs straitman and myself and Randy bought ALL the drinks.
