"The world’s basest online dating site may have had a major liquidity event. Palo Alto based Various, Inc., which owns AdultFriendFinder and scores of other sites, may have been acquired by Grocery Giant Safeway INC, insider rumors are stating.
The company, which was founded by Andrew Conru, is rumored to now have revenues in excess of $300 million annually. The acquisition price is said to be 3x revenue, or around $1 billion.
We’re digging now for confirmation of the deal, and to find out who the buyer is. There’s a recent article on the company with deep background information"
Truthfully, I wonder what this sale will do to the affiliates. Some webmasters have had arrangements with aff for many years. I hope those will continue to remain in effect as well as the rebills that have accumulated over the years.
Indeed it was.. And I assure I was there. I was late. Did you say hello to Lomik?
Everyone here knows me. I was there. I was only there on the last day then had to come home. DIdnt make it to the Mansion party.
I have proof I was there. I didnt do the Wine tour becasue I dont drink. But I did the spa and some dinners.
I was at Safeway this morning with the wife. The store manager was working there and I shoot the shit with em normally before Sunday NFL Kickoff.
I asked him about freind finder. He said he had heard of the site, but did not hear any news. However he said it would not suprise him and heard Safeway was venturing out into new avenues. One of which was the kiosks in the stores...
When he heard Dating and Kiosks and Personal Info from clubcards he started to say yeah it actually does make sence.
BP..I heard that you were supposed to be there. I was hoping you would have made it. AFF really took care of us....It was First Class all the way. I guess I will see your slack ass in Vegas!
