Confirmed: Penthouse Buys AdultFriendFinder For $500 Million

[JenniDahling]

Andrew did say he wants to retire by age 40 and his bday is coming up in early Feb.

5 mill is retirement

500 mill is world domination

Anyone want to take bets on the AFF payouts dropping to $25 per member soon?

[Greg B]

$500 million is waaaaaaaayyyyyy the fuck out of line for that service. For piss money and a bunch of sharp webmasters Penthouse could have started their own form of a dating/meeting program and kicked royal ass.

This is about laziness and other things that look too uncool.

$500 million????

That's got to be an error.

Perhaps they are going to pair it up with a chinese laundry service. I hear that is a pairing that can be very profitable.

How about they pair it up with my machine, and cut me a check for 2-fitty?

if this is true? Will the accusations and reputation reform itself for this site?
What Greg B says is so true about Penthouse easily affording to start they're own thing.

I disagree to an extent. So does AOL, Google and alot of other companies that bought out start ups. They are buying member base, branding and probaly merchant accounts.
Was ICQ worth 16 million or whaver they bought it for back then? Then I'd say no. Have you seen ICQ lately? Bet they've (aol) made that investment back twice already.

I'm very excited to see though how Penthouse is going to deal with Zango and Adware and shit that AFF has come to be known as associating with.
