AVN Bought GFY?

**Domain Diva** · 01-11-2011, 06:49 AM

it wouldnt surprise me if they did , perfect platform for them ...nice fit in my view.

**CaptainHowdy** · 01-11-2011, 06:50 AM

**TeenCat** · 01-11-2011, 06:55 AM

yeah that would make a sense ... so hello new owners, i am teencat, i am a nice guy!

**Jman** · 01-11-2011, 07:08 AM

Last I heard they had bought Webmaster Access and not GFY but I could be wrong.

**fris** · 01-11-2011, 07:11 AM

damn that would be a big changer ;)

Just wondering what would you get if you purchased WebmasterAccess ? the rights to do the one show in Holland they still put on ? I think GFY would be more interesting to them.

The rumor was they had actually bought both... the conference and GFY.

But there has not been any major announcement or press release I remember seeing anywhere. However, it would be interesting to see what comes in 2.0...

Have you been to Webmaster Access Amsterdam, makes lots of sense for them to purchase it as they are in the trade show business

so everyone has to stop pretending to love playboy and now has to pretend they love avn?

thanks for the heads up.

**MaDalton** · 01-11-2011, 07:20 AM

that would explain a few things...

and KB is banned anyways

**C H R I S** · 01-11-2011, 07:27 AM

Anal Hobbit said it so it must be true...

But seriously it is confirmed - but people were keeping it under their hats until the parties made official announcement.

**kristin** · 01-11-2011, 07:46 AM

Yep, it has been confirmed. Makes sense why all the InterNEXT threads were pinned.

**DWB** · 01-11-2011, 07:50 AM

Great. Can't wait to see Jules Jordan and Evil Angel banners all over it.

**pornguy** · 01-11-2011, 08:00 AM

Well that explains one or three things

**Jman** · 01-11-2011, 08:01 AM

Well I'll be damn. Wonder how much it went for???

**brassmonkey** · 01-11-2011, 08:11 AM

I googled "Fat cat basking in the sun" for you

That's what came up.

**GTS Mark** · 01-11-2011, 08:20 AM

Would make a ton of sense, especially considering Playboy's new direction in the business.

what fuck shit words you say about me? My fucking gold card is made of fucking 24k gold I buy this place they do not let me. I offer big money . They racialists

**chaze** · 01-11-2011, 09:21 AM

I don't think so, but if they do kudos to them. The best forum on the web.

**will76** · 01-11-2011, 09:34 AM

Unless they got it for a steal, not sure why anyone would want to spend more than 6-12 months revenue on a webmaster board. At the rate the programs are closing doors and others cutting back on expenses, advertising dollars here has to be dropping like a brick. Not like there is a whole lot of potential affiliates here to advertise to any more these days.

**Chris** · 01-11-2011, 09:36 AM

Yup congrats to avn on the buy

**Rochard** · 01-11-2011, 11:01 AM

About time this spilled out into the public.

The question isn't what AVN bought, but rather who bought AVN?

Quoted for truth. Can't wait for Jules Jordan to start winning AVN-Internet related awards haha.

from the article: This deal comes on the heels of our acquisition of Webmaster Access and Adult Whos Who, and is part of a larger online B2B strategy that AVN is already putting into place. In the coming weeks and months, AVN will be announcing more acquisitions and partnerships that we believe will be received very positively by the adult online community, and we look forward to reaffirming AVN’s role as a business innovator and free speech leader for the adult entertainment industry.”

This would be like going to buy up a bunch of TGP sites. Unless they are getting these properties for pennies (and I mean pennies) this is a bad investment imo. Board traffic and participation is low, more companies are going out of business much less are they spending lots of money on advertising dollars. Other companies are closing their affiliate programs, a lot of affiliates are leaving the industry... etc... adult whos who? in a couple years it will be "adult has been". Attendance at shows are down big time and its just going to get worst. What were they thinking ?

Congrats to ICS on the sale, get out while the getting is still good.

Lake Tahoe perhaps.

**Cyber Fucker** · 01-11-2011, 02:30 PM

Wouldn't it be better for the seller to do well advertised auction instead of silent sale? Just my thoughts...
