Wow now that's a big buy!!
I remember the site back in 2000 - I believe it had less than 100 articles . The original owner the sold it to investors a few years later and now it sold again for $250 million. Somebody made a lot of money .
I love that site! I have been reading it since they started the website.
Yes, definitely someone made some big money there.

When you put it like that, i can see what you mean. I totally understand the attachment someone can get with a website, specially one were you worked 12 years! It's pretty impressive to find a site that has been online so long. You probably started the site almost when the internet was made public and popular.
But now i have to ask...if selling your site is like selling your soul...is your soul for sale?
