According to PP, IR has been sold to Giggster, a rental outfit -

Giggster Has Acquired Imaging Resource from BeBop

Off and on, it has bounced between owners three times in as many months.

In the article they wrote that not all salaries have been payed yet. That is really strange.

So the new owner does not have only to pay the price for the site, he also has to pay old salaries, find new staff because the old one is gone already and finally invent a way to cover the cost to run such a site.

Looks not like an easy task in my view.

At least they have now Google Adsense implemented to generate some money. That is a good step to partially finance the site.

But no news about the new ownership yet. Or any other news article.

Interesting, I had missed this. I will be anxious to see how it goes. I really liked this site in the past for their camera reviews and ongoing comparisons of new cameras with the same images used for years and years. Wondering if this will continue or not?
