AVN Bought GFY? - GoFuckYourself.com

Barefootsies · 01-11-2011, 08:47 AM

While I guess it's older news now according to the rumor, anyone else see the official statement to confirm? I had heard they were taking offers, but I had not heard of the sale.

Domain Diva · 01-11-2011, 08:49 AM

it wouldnt surprise me if they did , perfect platform for them ...nice fit in my view.

CaptainHowdy · 01-11-2011, 08:50 AM

TeenCat · 01-11-2011, 08:55 AM

yeah that would make a sense ... so hello new owners, i am teencat, i am a nice guy!

Jman · 01-11-2011, 09:08 AM

Last I heard they had bought Webmaster Access and not GFY but I could be wrong.

fris · 01-11-2011, 09:11 AM

damn that would be a big changer ;)

Just wondering what would you get if you purchased WebmasterAccess ? the rights to do the one show in Holland they still put on ? I think GFY would be more interesting to them.

The rumor was they had actually bought both... the conference and GFY.

But there has not been any major announcement or press release I remember seeing anywhere. However, it would be interesting to see what comes in 2.0...

Have you been to Webmaster Access Amsterdam, makes lots of sense for them to purchase it as they are in the trade show business

Agent 488 · 01-11-2011, 09:18 AM

so everyone has to stop pretending to love playboy and now has to pretend they love avn?

thanks for the heads up.

MaDalton · 01-11-2011, 09:20 AM

that would explain a few things...

and KB is banned anyways

C H R I S · 01-11-2011, 09:27 AM

Anal Hobbit said it so it must be true...

But seriously it is confirmed - but people were keeping it under their hats until the parties made official announcement.

kristin · 01-11-2011, 09:46 AM

Yep, it has been confirmed. Makes sense why all the InterNEXT threads were pinned.

DWB · 01-11-2011, 09:50 AM

Great. Can't wait to see Jules Jordan and Evil Angel banners all over it.

Jman · 01-11-2011, 10:01 AM

Well I'll be damn. Wonder how much it went for???

That's what came up.

GTS Mark · 01-11-2011, 10:20 AM

Would make a ton of sense, especially considering Playboy's new direction in the business.

Yeah Hef decided to take Playboy back to private and spent 1 hour on GFY and said fuck this zoo let's sell it asap

chaze · 01-11-2011, 11:21 AM

I don't think so, but if they do kudos to them. The best forum on the web.

will76 · 01-11-2011, 11:34 AM

Unless they got it for a steal, not sure why anyone would want to spend more than 6-12 months revenue on a webmaster board. At the rate the programs are closing doors and others cutting back on expenses, advertising dollars here has to be dropping like a brick. Not like there is a whole lot of potential affiliates here to advertise to any more these days.

Chris · 01-11-2011, 11:36 AM

Yup congrats to avn on the buy

Rochard · 01-11-2011, 01:01 PM

About time this spilled out into the public.

The question isn't what AVN bought, but rather who bought AVN?

This would be like going to buy up a bunch of TGP sites. Unless they are getting these properties for pennies (and I mean pennies) this is a bad investment imo. Board traffic and participation is low, more companies are going out of business much less are they spending lots of money on advertising dollars. Other companies are closing their affiliate programs, a lot of affiliates are leaving the industry... etc... adult whos who? in a couple years it will be "adult has been". Attendance at shows are down big time and its just going to get worst. What were they thinking ?

Congrats to ICS on the sale, get out while the getting is still good.

Wouldn't it be better for the seller to do well advertised auction instead of silent sale? Just my thoughts...
