Evening Reading

Over the weekend, I posted that I had "cheesed" my first opponent in StarCraft II. I had been on a losing streak and needed a win for my precious self-esteem. I had been the victim of the very build I used a week earlier and put it into action against an unsuspecting opponent. It felt dirty... but glorious at the same time.

Is this a slippery slope I find myself on? You can grab the replay here.

I'm off tomorrow and Wednesday on assignment, while Alice is on holiday. Be nice to Xav!

      It's not that advertisers wouldn't want to do business with him, it's that the traffic is worthless.

      the best part is how many sites make money of the memes created at 4chan.

          And then he got subpoenaed and gave up some of his user's information. :P

            Even /b/ has to recognize that it would be pointless to serve jailtime to protect /b/ tards.

        I need to read this book, oh man. This is perfect for what I want to do. None of the libraries in town have it >:

      Other than selling the site outright I doubt he could make enough to matter.

      Even selling the site would probably be difficult but with as much traffic as it gets it should be possible.

        People buy businesses because they make money or have the potential to make money.

        Why do you think someone would pay for a site that you also think is unmonetizable?

          Someone somewhere thinks they're smart enough to make money off of 4chan.

      Extortion. Just start warning a bunch of sites that he'll unleash anon on them and imply that he may be able to shut down relevant threads for a fee.

      It's like the French restaurant scene in Blues Brothers.
