Yes I would do it again. Back in 2000 I broke out our actual adult operations and sold them to Global Intermedia. ARS (the affiliate management side / marketing side) of the business was sold to Innovative Ideas which I own.

Do you think if you had not broke out your adult operations would you still have had to make the necessary changes to remain solvent (was it a lack of control and/or the way Global Intermedia managed the sites that required the change)? OR ??
did the capital from the sale help you to continue to innovate?
finally what are you doing differently now with Storm Media

Tough question - I know had the operations of the content been in our hands we would have done some different things, but that in no way means I set blame on GIM for what happened. There are WAYYYY too many factors involved in processing to blame any one factor.
The capital from the sale was a non issue.
Storm is owned by my sister, a much closer contant to the company. This allows for things to be developed a little 'closer'. That allows us to be a bit more dynamic and make some of those things happen that I suggested I would have done.
