Recyclers Forum is currently operated and moderated by Asay Publishing Network, owned by Roger Asay, founder of Locator Magazine.
Toward the end of 2003, Asay was approached by Richard Ash, who wanted to know if Asay had any interest in purchasing Recyclers Forum, an on-line networked community that Ash owned. Ash was anxious to ensure that the forum would continue its leadership position and service to its members, since he had spent many years building up the features and traffic. When the purchase was made, Ash came on board with Asay Publishing, working from his home in Houston, Texas.
At the time Asay purchased the forum site, the company pursued considerable research before making changes and bringing the forum back to its former usefulness. He and the staff were committed to providing the best, easiest to use, most feature-rich forum of its kind on the Internet.
After adding state-of-the-art software and configuring custom features for the Asay-based website, the company activated Recyclers Forum: The One That Started the Talk, Since 1997, replacing "Your Portal for the Imaging Industry," in March 2004. The site was introduced formally at the I-ITC tradeshow and convention in April 2004 at Miami, FL.
