Quoting: Liam Dawe
Quoting: damarrinI welcome this development, though surely the next step is some company coming by and giving Liam 5 mil for the site so they can turn it into an ad-infested piece of crap.

In case that happens, take the money and run :-)
It would definitely take a good few zeros to make me part with GOL, and some references to show they actually know their way around Linux for me to even consider it. If I did ever sell, I would want GOL to still operate properly after all I built up with it.

That's not how fortunes are made and you know it. Any entity that pays top dollar for a site will need to monetise it to hell and back right after any contractual safeguards expire.

Edit: to be clear, I'm not trying to tell you what to do or anything of the sort. It's meant more as a general observation about the relation between making money and making something worthwhile.
