I made what I thought was a fair offer since it had very little revenue. I was told that they had a better offer and they were trying to get out of it what they paid for it.

I guess they did in the end...

Yep, I tried to buy it as well. I believe they asked $20k and the income was $0k. All banners were trades. My banner was there as that was how they compensated their moderators, a rotating banner. I don't remember what I offered but know it was turned down. When it was run by Rick and had a LOT of amateurs it was worth a whole lot more. Then he sold it, and said he was doing a review site featuring ONLY the top 1% of porn sites -- remember?! Then his site took off and I'm very glad for him -- he got out at the right time. (And when I email him about review stuff, he's still extremely helpful and friendly). Then there was the Brett/Sammy/Robb legal bullshit in the open forum ... I wasn't an amateur but still enjoyed that site in the beginning. I learned a lot, found a lot of amateurs to promote, met some interesting people -- JMM had to be my favorite poster of all -- and it helped launch my review site 4 years ago this month because so many of the amateurs gave me access to their sites to review them.
