hey fag, (i like cock) you should care that you contribute to a forum that has questions about the owners mental stability! that you are contributing to his 16m offer!

hehe fag, really i could care less because worrying about shit like this is a waste of fucking time. I have alot more things to worry about in my own business life than whether or not a forum owner had a 5 day papa smurf binge that caused him to post lies to ruin his forum and cred. I'm not posting here to make money. If he makes some change of my contributions so fucking be it.
 
fag, you don't get it, guess you have dick on the brain (lol, i kid, i kid)

no i get your point, fag. i just don't fucking care. my point is my ROI is better if i spend my time elsewhere than letting something like this eat at me, which is obvious that this post has driven a few members bonkers.
 
invest your time into something and see something crazy happen, if you did not have a response then it meant nothing to you.
so the people that are responding in any fashion had something invested in this community!
I am not sure weather I am sad for jon or mad at jon, it changes every hour!
 
dude i get your point. mine is that I only use forums as entertainment value and i limit myself to time spent on browsing, posting, and getting involved in the drama on them. More posts susually = less $$$. It's simple... and usually is always the case...

I have made many business partners and lots of money from being active on forums.
 
jon i'm not saying that i dont like coming here. i'm not saying that you haven't done a lot for the community.. i know you have. all i'm saying is its hard to believe that a) somebody would offer 16 mil for a site that is making nothing, and b) that you wouldnt accept an offer like this and start the same site on another domain, and have all of us follow you over there, being that you could do this so easily.

also, on sitepoint didnt you say that you made about 500k a year? i remember you saying this somewhere. maybe it has gone up, i dont know. but someone making 500k a year would take 16 mil. in a heartbeat.

A deal the size of $16M would come with a no compete clause. If the buyers had any sense (and if they have $16M then they must have a little sense) they would restrict Jon from starting or even posting on another forum.
 
Yeah, that is what happened to Bob Parsons when he sold one of his earlier companies. He was restricted from doing work for a period of time at least a year.
 
i think that sums up my reasoning. also, i've never said anything about me working for a hedge fund, running one, etc, unlike some other members and I think even your brother jon. yes, i was excited about possibly working on the google adwords team.... hmmm... good employer for a couple years, learn more about the inside, let arbitrage run itself still... sorry for updating you on the several interviews I had.... jeez what a fool I am. Oh man, moving to Nor Cal... how dumb.... have you ever heard of anyone moving near the industry they want to get in (VC)??

I'll offer $500 to the first person who produces the name of the potential buyer, even you Jon...


but i mean... come on... $16mm for a forum with 3k members?? $5300/member?

i stay around here becuase a lot of the people are cool... i help a lot of them via PMs and talk to a lot of people through AIM and have made some good friends... yes, i used to look up to you... but with insane posts like these, i'm not sure what you're thinking.

Hey asshole.. your avoiding the question... what exactly do you bring to the table here? I've never once seen you give out any sort of real advice or information, just non-stop bitching, moaning and poking fun at things that you usually have NO REAL INFORMATION to base it off of. Remember, I won't ban you, but if you leave on your own, I'd accept that too. :)

So before you thwart attention elsewhere, be a good boy and answer the question.

Yep! Another HUGE reason for me turning it down. I wouldn't be managing this place if I sold out, and they'd probably come in and clean it up a bit. What would WF be without profanity and boob pictures??
