Interesting.
You are not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You're not your fucking khakis. You're the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world.

I remember when I stopped reading slashdot was when they got acquired and lost their indie edge.

I wonder how much was paid for the forum...? But I guess things should go downhill for WUS..
I want to be a one watch guy!!

Quite subjective, you should also consider how much is WUS receiving in terms of advertising revenue.

SPH paid a small amount for HWZ and 60M for sgcarmart.

For a market size like WUS, who knows :)
