THAT'S a depressing article! :o

Peaches,

I didn't really find it to depressing. In most business persons life there are many ups and downs. Of course Gary has had his share but I think it will turn around. Doing 300k per month, should shoot up alot when the economy gets better.

Of course if the 50k is true for match.com I would feel a little mad at myself:(

I saw it as depressing because of match.com also. And the fact that he fought so hard for what used to be the best piece of internet porn real estate and doesn't have much to show for it. :(

But yeah, I could be happy with 300K a month. B)

sextoyking 07-21-2003 02:17 PM

true, true Peaches.

Sex.com should be in the top 5 biggest adult sites on the net, in my opinion.

I dunno, mabey he needs a different team to run it. I do see what he is trying to do though. The SE game can be very good on the bottom line if done right.

thats not 300k take home
thats only $300k gross take ins.
my guess only about 30% or less is left for Gary to take before taxes.

funny thing last month wired.com article said sex.com was making $17.500 a day or something like that.

Todd,
defecits at present level don't mean shit...
they are fraction of GNP.

If those tax cuts re-ignite the economy,
you'll have to kiss Bush's ass
;-)))

Do you think $300,000 per month revenues could have reached much easier, with less overhead and with much less involvement/work/headaches by Sex.com?

sextoyking 07-21-2003 02:29 PM

Serge,

they might only be a fraction of gnp, but they continue to rise every day.

we will see interest rates come back up very soon. I don't think that even if the tax cuts do help the economy it will come before the election, ah what do I know, I will probably be voting for John Kerry anyways :)

Todd,
USA had defecits for the last 70 years, why does it bother you TODAY all of a sudden?

sextoyking 07-21-2003 02:34 PM

Serge,

it bothers me for many reasons, but the main reason is that bush is in the whitehouse :)

but you already knew that right?

I thought we gonna argue facts and not emotions today...

never mind,
stick to emotions if they are so dear to you,
logic and reason can wait
;-)

sextoyking 07-21-2003 02:41 PM

Serge,

Shit I am too hot today to discuss facts, emotions were alot easier. Don't worry though, as the election cycle comes full speed I am sure Oprano is going to get very busy with facts and hot with emotion :)

Damm 95' today in portland!!!

dantheman 07-21-2003 02:47 PM

Interestingly enough I was at Gary's when the draft of that article came thru.

While there are some facts in there, it's more fitting to run in the Enquirer than in Wired...

BradShaw 07-21-2003 06:07 PM

Gary can not be that bright to have an idiot like KB around when he knows someone is there writing an article. Thats just asking for a clusterfuck.

Mike AI 07-21-2003 08:10 PM

Pretty sad article.... I do not know rather to laugh or cry...






OK - you got me... I laughed!!

:lol: :yowsa: :lol: :D

BradShaw 07-21-2003 10:53 PM

I laughed until I cried to think that someone caused such a stink over a great domain, only to manage it like a preschooler;)
