I have called him once or twice in days of yore. And a couple emails over time.
Yeah, I had to unfollow that shit after 156 consecutive posts from him showing icicles hanging off his face and the current temperature several tens of degrees below freezing. Yes Stu, I know you moved to where it is too cold for normal folk to live, if I wanted to see that crap every day, I'd get someone to set up a remote camera on a damn igloo somewhere in the godforsaken north.
I grew up in that neck of the woods. We used to say that the cold weather kept out the riffraff. Then one morning I woke up looked in the mirror and id'd myself as said riffraff and hauled ass south.
As shitty as it would be, could we somehow mine the information and host here instead? Looks like Stu might be hanging it up, so (hopefully) wouldn't be hurting him.
Hard to say. The big companies that buy them up will pay you three times whatever the site makes in a year. I would guess that given Stu was running Google Ads he was probably making $1500 a month, maybe a bit more. So take that times 36 and that’s what they’ll pay for it.
Fuck Vertical Scope. They ruin everything good about the internet.
I agree, which is why I would never, ever sell out. Those guys ruined so many good forums I was a part of over the years.
