:Oh crap:Oh crap:Oh crap:Oh crap:Oh crap

Don't ask because I'm not saying shit..

they were seriously a smart group..:2 cents:

No one cares.

I want to bite your bum

You already did by starting this thread.....But since you don't want to say shit, I'm sure that you'll ask the mods to delete this thread.

playboy messed up ICS?

Lensman was right to sell Adul.com (sinking ship) but he should have kept the GFY cash cow.

you say that because of your Mom and pop Co.?
Gratz on your New news by the way! :1orglaugh

Hmm taking place here :rasta

Just passing by...

Sorry, "Mess things up" is the wrong wording.
Times will get better soon..

Economy was booming at time of purchase.

Different economy. Different rules.

i think a better question is why they spent $14m on jenna cash when they did

:pimp:pimp

dude its just that magazines aren't the lick anymore... maybe they will see a resurgence when video can be viewed on paper thin screens.. but thats still several years out..

very nice

:(:(:(:(:(

:thumbsup:thumbsup

Did you get drunk and forget your password to Adult.com again? Why so upset?

This thread has promise, but is obviously going to fail to deliver after the tease.

just say no

i miss the skins

This thread bites.

respect your elders.

so you make a thread but are not gonna spill the beans..... attention whore much?

If i was Lensman i would have done the same, he made his money and for those that say it's never enough are just greedy, as far as for playboy with economic problems in the world have no control so selling the company in would be in their best interest. But i do agree Lensman still should have kept gfy based on the advertisement money that would be a pretty good monthly return :2 cents:

Meaning your not in the industry?

So why are you so concerned?

ADG

because communities with more than 100 posts per day are in short supply. some of the highest ranked boards are stagnant compared to gfy.

Most takeovers are a waste of money. Just read you economic books again.

this is a very good point

that's just simply not true.

check warren buffett's record, and many many many others.

sticky on here is $750 for 1 day.

Um... it's not hard to see he's referring to the way people are treated. Have you noticed all the people who have "quit" or "moved on" for some great reason (or not)? With large companies that try to think of themselves as being professional, allowing employees to say they 'quit' is usually an ego-saving way to say they were fired.

Because they believed those infomercials on how easy it was to get rich working online with litte knowledge of how the internets worked. And it's the American way(fucking up shit)

I just had the same thoughts . While watching video online. Get back to this thread, and I see somebody mentioned, what I feel could become the next big thing, after tv,dvd, internet. :thumbsup

Oh, Playboy bought it? I wasn't aware of that. This webmaster board gets very technical.
