They're a lump deal really. After the sale it hung on for a while, but without Ross at the helm the articles slowed down and eventually dried up to just price guides.
When I came on as a mod Housen was leading things up. Rich took over for a few years then JPNyc held the reigns for a good long while, and most recently the highest in the food chain that we'll ever actually have contact with is UA549 and Steve R.
Timeline:
March 2001: Alex's original goodbye was back in March of '01. I thought it was even earlier really.

April 2001: We had an editor for the sharkyextreme site named Jayson Mathews not long after Alex left officially: http://www.sharkyforums.com/showthread.php?t=112883
April 5 2002: Housen Maratouk moved on to greener pastures. Just to note, Housen was awesome and I hope he's well.
April 15 2002: Around mid April we were introduced to Richard Hein. Rich was our internet.com managing editor who came in to admin the forums
2003-2004: I was way more inactive than I should have been while working on school and handling a 9-5 so I don't know a lot of the details from this period and just about wound up demodded.
January 21 2005: Joe Palermo who was our JPNyc came on and held the reins until recently before moving on.
May 2011: Lots of changes as internet.com restructured. We lost CaTaLYST who had outlasted the last 10 years of ownership as an admin. We also saw UA549 and Steve R Jones take over as our local assistant admins for the forums here and in a few other places.
