Read the article and think about what the office is for. http://www.xbiz.com/news/152665

So not for a lot of people sitting at computers doing what most here do. So need more space than your kitchen table.

Also appears to be in an expensive area, correct me if wrong. So who's employed in the building. People happy to get a job or people who don't work in a small box. People who are treated well and want a spacious, comfortable and productive work space. People who need a good work station to operate properly?

Think expansion also.

Read the thread where I made the original comments to Fabian. Pointing out that he was clueless how much space the number of employees, he was stating he had, required to work. HE argued the point with me, then came back and changed his story after I proved to be right. This acquisition seems to be a bit large, but I have known larger.

A business predominately in online porn needing all this. That I don't get.

I made a throw away remark about how little he knew, by not knowing how many toilets the office had. Nice to see you idiots nit picking to find faults.

Play around with it. http://www.officefinder.com/officespacecalc.html

Now play around with the real costs of that office, rent, services, employees, insurance, etc. 200 people at $1,000 a week = $200,000 a week, $10,400,000 a year. Before you shoot me down, think about it.

Yes a toilet cleaner or affiliate costs less. But doesn't need this office location or space.
