    Default How much is IA worth? (info from the inside)

    How much is IA worth?

    Alot of people always ask if we make money w/ this site... (i kinda laugh to myself) alot of people think we make tons of $$$ w/ the site. Its funny b/c everything we have made has gone right back into IA or has gone to supporting the scene. Trust me when we all stop working our 9-5 and just start doing IA you will know whatz up

    I know this past year we have dropped thousands in this site on top of what was made... Nov 05 alone we gave out 1000$ of prize money at events. this next year is looking no different, we are bringing on our first employee on as of Jan 01; which we are very excited about... even though we aren't making anymore money than last year we have tons of things to bring our supporters this next year.

    I think to myself alot of the time, that i could be spending my time/money on other things like my own life beyond IA or my wife/family.... but hell i always come up w/ the same conclusion... IA is my life. I know we have alot of haters and for those people they can just EAD b/c we have been and will outlast them all. For the supporters - you rock you are the only reason we do this

    [end thoughts\]

    So how much is IA worth? to me its priceless........... but if Fox Broadcasting came in and offered something in the 7 figure range --- where do i sign?

    How much do you think its worth?

    i would say IA is worth at least a million, i mean, there are many poser sites out there but being the biggest in ATL, if not the southeast is not something easy to come by, IA is priceless actually there is no amount of money that could be put on the resources and ideas that come through here, but like you said if fox brings you some money sign y0! just make sure you stay an ADMIN and slip me like 20 bux nah mean?

    I would say IA and its supporters make this site priceless. What it has done for the import scene here in the ATL and around Georgia, you wont ever be able to put a price tag on.

    the drama here is priceless
    if a corporation owned this, they would cut down our drama time.
    But, 7 figures can wipe our tears away Lol

    I agree that it is priceless but then again, 7 figures can make you forget all your worries. Not to mention throw one big ass party and still have enough left over to start another site.

    I think IA is priceless. But if you do sell do I get a cut since we have been sponsors for the past year.

    Out of all the advertising that we have tried this is the only one we still do and the best return on investment that we have seen.

    Hell yeah man, all the regulars would be banned in the first week for "flaming" and all the others would filter away cuz the site would lose character. I've seen it happen on a message board I was a member of before, as soon as big money sponsors started coming it, the mods became Nazi's and it was total Zero-Tolerance on there and it got real old real fast. The site is pretty big now, over 134,000 members but theres no character there anymore.

    Priceless yo...don't sell unless they offer you as much as they offered Tom for myspace...half a billion? Now that would be nice....plus you'll be able to break off some of that for every regular poster and still be rich as a bitch. lol. But to say again, this site is priceless...never had as many different experiences as I did on this site...from selling stuff, buying stuff, and just plain old whoring. Now if a big corporation got it...i bet I know what forum goes first...NWS.

    IA is the shit

    I mean, what other forum can you go to, and hear the owner say, "If you don't like my rules, then you can suck my dick"

    FUCK GRAN TURISMO EAST!! NEVER TAKE YOUR CAR THERE, ESPECIALLY NOT FOR AN ALIGNMENT!! TERRIBLE BUSINESS!!

    pretty much all of them... some may have more lax rules than others, but the same idea applies ("this is my house, my rules").
