hi

I am looking to buy yahoo. dir listed domains.
Wandering if you might be interested in selling your site:
http://www.i-mockery.com/

please let me know if you are intrested.

Oh yeah I’m the type of guy that likes to roam around
I’m never in one place I roam from town to town
And when I find myself a-fallin’ for some girl
I hop right into that car of mine and ride around the world
Yeah ’cause I’m a wanderer yeah a wanderer
I roam around around around...
’cause I’m a wanderer yeah a wanderer
I roam around around around...

He'd probably turn it into a site that sells Japornography.

[Skulhedface]

If ever I learned anything from RPGs, it's that wanderers usually SELL, not BUY.

Sounds fishy to me.

[longschlongsilver]

hehhe you should ask him how much he would pay....
a site like this? could be worth millions for the traffic alone.....

and you could restert it, exactly the same, at www.mockery-i.com lol

[fungusamongus]

banned

[longschlongsilver]

okay, why does this guy always post after me saying BANNED?

is HE banned?

is he a fag ? (yes,)

is there a particular thing im missing here people?

[MetalMilitia]

banned

[Carnivore]

Tell him you'll accept no less than $500,000.

[Skulhedface]

I agree with Carnivore's idea, but to see if he really is serious about buying the site, tell him that you will not accept the payment unless it is made entirely in pennies.

[FS]

sell the site for 15 million dollars, then just copy the content to a new host and open j-mockery.com.

[Skulhedface]

i-mock-ar-ee.com.

You could sell ravioli, and wear a chef hat atop the pickle hat.

[Mockery]

Tell him you'll accept no less than $500,000.
Honestly, if someone was seriously going to offer me that amount for the site, I'd still turn it down. I've been doing I-Mockery in one shape or form since '96, and the site now makes a decent profit on the side. I'm even able to give some o' the guys who write for the site a few bucks here 'n there now... which is something I had always hoped I could do. So yeah, if I was ever going to sell the site it would have to be for a lot more than that, and there would probably have to be some clause in it that would keep all of us writers on the staff. I mean, it's not like it's a self-updating site (such as fark or other popular blogs), so without the current staff, it would just sit here and never do anything without the writers. I dunno, it would take something really impressive for me to even consider selling it. And if I did sell it, I'd make sure that those who have helped me with it all these years saw a nice chunk of those earnings.

meep.

[Matt Harty]

Commendable :picklehat

[jimmy_tango]

and I doubt the "wanderer" could pull $500,000 out of his ass anyways.

[FS]

No, I think he could

Subject: [#14121] Buying your domain: i-mockery.com

Dear Webmaster

I am interested in buying your domain i-mockery.com for $400. I’m only interested in the domain not in your content, so you can sell your domain and move your content to another domain. If you are interested please respond to this e-mail.

Regards,

Bettina Jensen
400 WHOLE DOLLARS!!! :eek :eek :eek :eek

[Chojin]

DON'T BE A FOOL! THINK OF THE THINGS YOU COULD BUY!

[Emu]

YOU COULD BUY A POORLY MADE USED CAR! OR A COPY OF MARIO GOLF!

[Trash]

Just make a site named imockery.com and let that jerk-off keep this site.

[Emu]

He already sold the site to Newgrounds, twit. Jesus Christ.

[Trash]

Please say you're kidding, Emu. Please say you didn't believe it.

[Emu]

What do you mean, "believe it?" It's on the front page. Go look and see for yourself. God, you're retarded.

[Trash]

Emu, it isn't that funny.

[Emu]

What the fuck? Either show me some proof or stop fucking with me.

[RaNkeri]

Nobody fucks with Emu :eek

[Trash]

Nobody fucks with DA EMU!

[MetalMilitia]

you can't go out there, you'll freeze to death

[Girl Drink Drunk]

Trash, I suggest you don't fuck with Emu, because from personal experience, if you do, you'll have a bad time here :/

[Trash]

I won't. Pinky swear!

[Emu]

you guys are all faggots :(

[Trash]

[Chojin]

Unless he only uses the domain and completely changes the site around.
