I have a hard time believing that IPO will go through. Here are my list of problems they have.
1) The business model has yet to make much money and it's best days are clearly behind them.
2) The barrier for entry for competitors is pretty low in their market space. You would be better off starting a dating site from scratch then getting on board with all that debt just to acquire a fading brand name.
3) They advertise heavily on illegal sites that are a) filled with stolen copyrighted material and b) provide full length hardcore movies to children.
4) Then of course, it just seems like a shitty IPO. Maybe in 1997 they could of glossed over all their problems, but not today.
Anyway, I hope webmasters don't lose money but if a big part of your income comes from AFF, you should be working overtime right now to find new sponsors.
