off-hand I couln't think of someone who would pay $25 mil for weblogs either, or $5 billion for Broadcast.com, but they did. Maybe AOL wouldn't buy WebmasterWorld, but a huge tech info company would make more than AOL will out of Weblogs.

WebmasterWorld is not commercial in the ad sense, but it's for profit, and it was this way when we signed up. It's not the same as the Wikipedia founder saying: I'm selling it now that you guys wrote the articles.

I doubt that more than 1% of us would leave if ads started to appear; people want the information. Plus, webmasters are people too. In addition to web services we buy procter and gamble products, pizza, socks, soda, and pretty much everything else that humans need.

Brett is probably shaking his head at us debating over the sale of HIS site :)
