Who cares? Seriously... Adult Friend Finder? Don't even give me some crap excuse about how it's relevant because they're a startup. These guys have been in business, ripping people off since '96. Someone submitted an RFC for an avian IP network earlier today and now this. It's way too early to be posting April fools stuff.
vaksel, you really need to stop submitting everything that pops up in the TechCrunch RSS feed. I'm starting to wonder if you're some kind of sock puppet for them. It's already bad enough that we have to see any of their articles here at all. Their so-called reporting is so bad I don't even know where to begin. At least have the decency to filter out the obvious garbage like this.
interesting but not in the way you intend. once people watch a "sure thing" like aff flounder from its first trading day, it will indeed be a bullet-proof confirmation that this is a nuclear-winter economy...not like you need aff to confirm that. look at the previous big "sure thing" ipo, private equity group blackstone:
I don't even know how to respond to that. What are you trying to say? That this should be some kind of inspiration to readers here? There's hope that one's startup can eventually go public if AFF can do it?
A twelve-year-old casual sex meetup site is successful enough that they're going to start selling stock to the public. Stop the presses! Sex sells!
I really don't see what this has to do with hackers, entrepreneurs or HN.
I also find it somewhat ironic that you-- only a month ago-- submitted a poll asking users if they felt HN should be invitation-only in order to improve the quality of submissions.
