FYI

We acquired Forrst because we're community people and we saw a great opportunity to help Forrst grow as a place for creatives to get better at their craft / share information. With COLOURlovers we have have a thriving community for creative inspiration and we recently launched CreativeMarket.com as a place closer to the execution side of projects. Forrst played well as a opportunity to connect with users along the spectrum. What we noticed though was that with all our attention on the successful launch of Creative Market, we weren't finding the time to really devote to Forrst to make it great. And being respectful to quality communities, we thought the best thing to do for it would be to find a home for it that could dedicated those resources. We've known ZURB for several years and had partnered with them on a creative project before. We reached out, had a conversation and mutually saw an great opportunity for them to grow the Forrst community.

Thank you for the response and explanation, Darius! That makes a lot more sense on the sale now!

It was. It was sold to Zurb by CL.

Oh, okay. I guess it was just confusing to me since they didn't mention CL at all in the post.

Any known reason why they didn't mention CL? Seems interesting that CL didn't really seem to do much with Forrst since they acquired it in March.

No wonder I was confused. I wonder whether they are really buying the team or the community. It seems that there are less activities going on at Forrst these days.
