1. Fourteen MILLION. Jesus. That's a lot of scratch. nt

[Melinda]

7. **Emphatic head nodding here**

I guess the devil is in the details. I've seen this play out before, albeit years ago. All had to do with IPO's and sales of sites n stuff like that. :shrug:

It's all I can do to come up with rent money these days - who needs food?

[Pab Sungenis]

17. "So why do they need $42.00 a year? RIP OFF!" :sarcasm:

:hide:

[MADem]

36. Well, if I had anything worth that much, I have to admit I might be tempted to liquidate.

I could help a lot of friends/family with that kind of money.

[Enrique]

2. sounds like a ripoff

i'd rather have a nice dinner for four at Olive Garden. (with coupon). :hide:

[sakabatou]

5. With breast milk and pitbulls?

:P

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

24. Where's the breast milk coming from?

Is it only pit bulls?

[JNelson6563]

26. Olive Garden.

Someone had to say it.

[jmowreader]

42. AND cigarettes.

[zbdent]

3. Please ... FR worth $68?

Wayyyyyy overpriced ...

[sakabatou]

6. Yup

It's a crap site that doesn't look like it's updated since mid-90s, maybe. And people still give guy money.

[pinboy3niner]

8. The FR hamster is worth $67.50

That should help to put things in context. :rofl:

[sakabatou]

10. Yeah, that site looks like crap.

[Enrique]

11. and Salon.com is worth $67.00

:shrug:

[Old and In the Way]

14. I kinda think their algorithims need some serious tweaking.

But damn funny, nonetheless.

[FSogol]

21. I think that is $68 in Confederate dollars or maybe Iraqi Dinars

:shrug:

[ProdigalJunkMail]

4. and gmail is only worth $1mil

interesting valuation scheme but cool nonetheless...

sP

[Rex]

That is what I got when I tried it.

[ProdigalJunkMail]

22. that's what i see too...

interesting....

sP

[hunter]

25. What? No negative value?

Like an old gas station with leaky tanks...

[MADem]

37. Maybe it's a LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION thing?

Where else are the batshit crazy wingnuts to flock? It's like CHEERS for mean people, perhaps! Where everybody knows your muthafxxking name, and if you're insufficiently ideologically pure, you'll be hounded out the door ignominiously!!!

[Initech]

28. ROFL!!!!

[datasuspect]

29. this site infects your computer with a rootkit

PROFIT!

[muriel_volestrangler]

35. Please tell me that's not a description of stimator.com ...

:scared:

[Thegonagle]

30. Way to go! No wonder we're looking at the last DU fund drive ever. Wait a minute...

WTF is Stimator?

[MADem]

38. All I can think of is eSTIMATOR (like an estimate).

They leave off the "e" to be cute, maybe?

[Thegonagle]

39. I figured it was something cutsie with the name; My question is one of legitimacy.

There's no (obvious) "about us" section, so I question the actual purpose of the site. Results are apparently inconsistent.

(Just another spyware/adware/dDOS-attack/rootkit installer? That's what I'm leaning toward.)

[MADem]

40. Yep. Maybe it's just one of those sites that puts malware on your computer...? nt

[Demonaut]

31. sorry, fr is worth 170 mil......pop the name in

[Motown_Johnny]

45. So what the hell is this thread about?

If you're getting $170 million, where is the OP getting $68 from?

[Tuvok Obama]

46. The site shows a higher readout every time you enter the domain name

I tried it with a small, unknown site and the first result was $68. After about 7 more tries the price was into the hundreds of millions.

[jmowreader]

43. An IBM XT clone with a 20MB hard drive is still worth $68?

I mean, who knew?

[progressoid]

44. I think you did it wrong.

or stimator is just a bunch of crap. Or BOTH

That is just, well......hilarious.

[lumberjack_jeff]

48. If the goal is dem advocacy for $42/month, wouldn't it be more cost effective to simply buy FR

... and shut off the server?

[Contrary1]
