    Ebay and Paypal owners are a very successful business. In think they snaffled SU for dirt cheap. It's worth way more than that. IMO.

    Dirt cheap? FFS Col, that thing went for way too much.

    Its the people who made it man, I saw that website grow to what it has in front of my eyes, shit... there needs to be a website whose prime goal should be to sell itself for a certain amount, and get people involved in the goal, then when it gets sold for that amount (Say 20 million), then the people involved would get money distributed to each of them on the basis of their points (which would have been earned by their efforts involved in promoting/making the site better)

    Let me know if anyone wants to jump in.

    Impressive. Will be worth more in no time really, so it's good they got it for that price.

    Facebook got an offer for $1bn a while ago right? Well now apparently it's worth 15x that much.
