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


Well, that teaser leaves me with a shred of optimism.

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...
