    Alptraum will continue with Fleshbot.com as a contributing editor, as well as offer her consulting services to adult and sex-related companies.

              Fleshbot.com used to be huge, and looked good.

              It does not look as good these days.

              I hope you did not pay much as I do not think its worth as much as it once did.

              I would say about 5 years ago this site was BIG. But the tubes seem to have taken most of its traffick.

              It probably still is a good site, but to be honest, its not that exciting.

              I would sugest nakednews is the most exciting thing, if its done well.

              It could have huge scope, but its very easy to mess up with.

                                    Its a small world. It was about three years ago, I made them an offer to buy the site. At the time they focused their attention on their other assets.

                                    Fast forward, November 2013 I am sitting on a New York flight to LA, and who is sitting next to me, a mid level Executive from Gawker. For a conversation piece, we discussed FleshBot.

                                    In the right hands it has so much potential. Sam congratulations.

                                                  I would sugest nakednews is the most exciting thing, if its done well.

                                                  It could have huge scope, but its very easy to mess up with.
                                                  When I'm ready to resign I'll make sure you are considered as my successor.

                                                                                                2) I highly suggest bringing Gram Ponante back on board. He's pretty much the funniest writer in the industry!
