I HAPPENED :) ... also, I don't think we need an "i hate Mantooth thread" when every thread can easily become an "I hate Mantooth thread"

As long as he gave us fair warning and was honest about everything, unlike the other site, I'd respect that. This is America, capitalism rules!

I really have no idea what he got, but that's what I was told.

How much was he bringing in back in the day in ad revenue and user registrations?

No link, just 30 years in the software business, with a pretty good idea what a web site like that one would have been worth at the time of the sale.

I'm not saying I'm right, but what would something like that sell for?

At the time, mid-five figures.

Do you know how many people were registering per day and how much it used to cost?

I'm thinking it was around $6.00 at the time he wold it. Would he have gotten 300 new registrations a month? If he did, that's over $20,000 a year, and then you have the ad revenue which I'm assuming is at least 3X that, so say he was bringing in $50,000 in revenue per year.

I have no idea if those numbers are accurate or not, but if so, he is selling it for at least 5X that I would imagine.
