If he isn't in it for the money then do you reckon he'll take £50 and a 12v? Then I can sell it on like a normal person would for £8.5million.

New MSN Hack
There is a new MSN hack hitting our screens this month. People are getting this hack without knowing onto there MSN it this hack is sending messages to there friends with this message:
Holy Shit, Have A Look At This: LINK REMOVED!
=============================
Sharpenews asks you to NOT Click on this link as your contact details and we fear your login details maybe transferred to the other contact or somewhere else...
=============================
People cannot stop this from happening but we think that people are making MSN hacking fix soon...

It has had 89million hits in 18 months and rakes in £2,500 a month from advertisers.
To make 8.3 million from the advertising.... it'd take him 283 years

only brings in £2500 a month through advertising.
The company wanting to buy them obviously realises that with 2.5m hits a month and someone with a bit of a brain in charge it could be a gold mine!

He works part time at Comet and would have recieved 4 million of course the logical reply was 'i'm not in it for the money' does he think he'll be held in high esteem like Mother Teresa now?
He'll have been forgotten about by tommorow

Maybe he will be like the Million Pixel guy who is working on future projects? Oh wait, he actually made money and is using that excuse because he is living up like a Playboy

his second site bombed...he waited too long before bringing it out and all the hype was lost.
If he'd of done it a month or two after he'd of made a second million by now.

Could it be as bad a move as the guy who did not take the shares in MS when they first started up.
Even if he is not in it for the money he should have sold it because it he could have gone on to develop something similar again if its the enjoyment of doing it he is after and he still have 8.5 million on the bank to go on holiday with.
Fair play for developing something for so long. Quite hard to make a success of something like that on the net without a lot of marketing etc.
