DVTimes · 02-20-2014, 05:40 PM

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.

Sounds exciting! What you said totally makes sense.

That was a great site when Jonno was running it and I think you guys are a great fit to bring it back to its former glory and do so with new mobile tech and everything I'm sure you guys are already planning and then some

$10 million upfront, $5 million over three years.

tons of gay on the front page ;) LOL might want to shift that to the gay only section and lets talk about working together

Yeaa......I think mixing the gay and straight content was a mistake. Im sure skin will "Straighten" this situation out.

EroticistFilms · 02-25-2014, 02:24 PM

1) This was a cutting edge site back when Johnno was at the helm. I hope you can help restore it to it's former glory.

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