let's say someone, whether it be some business or just some rich guy who thinks he can do something with it, offers lack a moderately large sum of money, say a couple of million. should lack take it? would he? what would you personally prefer?

tacky, tacky, tacky... why do you care about speculating about something that you would have no say or knowledge of its occurrence? i hate threads about lack and people speculating about how much he makes, how much CC is worth, how many hookers and how much blow he can afford. just be happy the site is here. leave the turtle boy alone.-0

If Lack sold CC I'd leave.

I just hope the oil barons that buy CC do two things:

1) <edit>flog me for being ignorant</edit>

2) Come up with a good babysitting rule.

heheh CC is filled with evil geniuses!

As long as Premium perk 4 remains in place, the site could be run by Adolf Hitler for all I care

Chuck Norris would be a better owner of cc hes all about world domination and hes good at it!

It's story time. (I love telling stories ... what's the use of stories that ironically are true but to be told?)

Once upon a time there was a very nice man of moderate means and wealth who owned a very small online game company. His company was small but even still he moved the entire company to the land of Jimmy Buffet and Earnest Hemmingway. The company continued to be a small and slightly not profitable company, but he had considerable wealth and everyone was happy.

One day this lovely company came a knocking wanting to buy his company out. (I won't mention names but the founder was a Mr. B. Gates.) They had a verbal agreement for over a year but they backed out of the agreement in the end.

Heart broken at the thought of corporate rejection, the owner hooked up with a two bit floosy of a publically owned company, got bought out, moved out of Paradise and promptly left the company after 6 months because he realized that not being completely in charge where the employees would work all the time to give him eye candy for his games in fact sucked and was (gasp) real work.

Meanwhile, I managed to board the Titanic (Acclaim) but got off the boat just before it hit the iceberg (bankrupcy). Don't let this happen to you! Never accept verbal agreements from any company! Always ask for corporate pre-nuptual agreemetns in writing!

(Honest, this story is true!)

The owner uses Hooker's and Blow?? My God!! I thought this was a family centered site. I am extremely disappointed in how he uses his hard earned cash. That money could be used to feed the crying children I see on TV or to further the cause of Scientology. Just cause its his money doesnt give him a right to spend it how he wants...thats so selfish.

Even if lack where to sell CC anyone with brains would keep him on to work on the site. Similar to what happened with tom on myspace. No one better to run the site that him he built it rom scratch.

They would surely keep you on-board for important press releases Gim!

the reason lack set up the no gambling rule on CC, is because he was afraid he might get drunk one night and accept a bet for the ownership of CC over a simple game of risk....

He knew his skills were so lacking that he'd better make a rule to keep this from happening, so he might have the chance to sell and then actually be able to aford a real sized penis someday.

He told me this personally...

After a few bottles of Jack of course..

i'm pretty sure as paying customers of any business we get at least the right to ask about the business operations. you may find it in bad taste, but i would be curious to know the answer to some of these questions. since cc isn't publicly traded, nobody has to answer them, but that doesnt make the questions any less valid or appropriate.

You get the right to see what is in the public domain. Apart from that you have a right to sweet foxtrot alpha information about the business, and quite right too. Would you tell all and sundry what you were earning? I certainly wouldn't, just as I wouldn't tell you how much my servants and punkawallahs get, oh no indeed.

Everyone has a price. For Lack to come here and say he'd never ever sell CC no matter what would be a dumb idea because he could eventually get a offer that he cannot refuse, allowing him to retire early. Hell, there may come a time when this isn't what he wants to do anymore and he wants to move on to another project.

You likely won't get an answer from Lack on this. Saying that he'd never sell would just put him in a worse position if he eventually does sell (I've seen this happen to 3 sites now), and saying he would sell would start the rumor mill that CC is on the market.

The short answer is yes, CC could be sold someday.

you are in no position to say this and have no inside knowledge that would give you this answer. tacky thread, tacky answers, be thankful the site exists.-0

hear hear.

i think lack loves the site and the community, and id be very surprised if he left or sold it, no matter how much he is offered for it.

true perhaps hwh, but its always possible he might want to start a site for a game... .he can acutally play
