CHATSWORTH, Calif.—AVN Media Network announced that is has acquired the notoriously popular GoFuckYourself (GFY) adult webmaster chat board from ICS Entertainment Inc.

AVN management says it has no plans to alter the basic functionality or character of the often controversial forum, which is the online adult industry’s biggest web community.

Theo Sapoutzis, chairman of the AVN board of directors, said that the acquisition of GFY by the adult industry’s oldest and most trusted media company was but one piece of a broader strategy for growth and expansion that will be rolled out over the coming months...

As many of you already know, this deal has been completed and is now public.

I have worked out a deal to remain on board with GFY and as a consultant for AVN. As stated in the article. There are many ideas that we have an will be implementing on the coming months that we feel will give back to the community and create opportunities for industry professionals on all levels.

Congrats to Avn. Big move should be interesting to see where this goes. I think this puts gfy in the hands of someone who actually cares to develop it.

Sig too big, stop sucking up. Final warning.

JP-pornshooter · 01-11-2011, 06:31 PM

guessing this is just one move by ICS (probably to curve the ever rising debt) now that Hugh took the company private again..

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff.
