I've sent TR some emails, shit's in the works.
This is purely business, I intend to make a nice profit, IDGAF about having control over the day-to-day actions on the site. Meaning, I'm not gonna go ban people or anything personal. Most/all admin and mods will stay the same.
Basically, post here to show support for me gaining control, I'm not sure how willing he is to sell it. I've proposed paying a good deal, so this is dead serious.
Some functional changes that may be made are here:

Other bigger organizational changes are:
-Change site name to TRMusic, make it broader than an Eminem forum, though he will still have his own section. It will still have a focus on hiphop. All traffic to trshady.com will be redirected so it won't be an issue.
-Revamp the overall design and make TR look current and cleaner. And not so dark and 2005.
-Run an advertising program, which will bring in revenue and allow for nicer features for the site
-Have a blog section replace the homepage, similar to Rap Radar.
-Build an artist feature that will allow TR musicians to build a profile instead of just making threads, kind of similar to reverb nation. TR artists will be featured on the front page, giving them publicity. They will be able to upload songs, mixtapes, music vids, etc. Eventually, I hope to partner with sites like Rap Radar and 2dopeboyz and get (good) TR artists blog features.
-Run an advertising program via Facebook to get traffic back up
Lemme know what you all think.
