the key here is, even though everything may be for sale, that doesn't mean that even if you're able to buy, you'll be able to maintain it's success.

for example: If you bought GFY for whatever.... say $30 mil. You are buying it in it's current state. You still have to factor in the things that you can't buy. The personalities that make it what it is. Which means, you gotta do alot more than just buy something (of that nature). You either change the dynamic, and make it equally or more interesting (which translates to profitability), or you suck a LOT of ass to maintain the factors you can't purchase or control.


just because you may be able to put a price to something does not guarantee you the same success as the current owner. That goes for messageboards, paysites, or anything else in this world.
