2old2play Sold to Ziff Davis Media

by Corporate America| Published: Wednesday, April 01 @ 04:59:17 EDT

We are happy to announce that Ziff Davis has seen the light of the older gamer and decided to use our community as the new spring board for financial success in these trouble times.

After long talks with both Ziff Davis and Media Crumb Inc., 2old2play will now become one of the already many successful online properties of the mega giant media conglomerate that is Ziff Davis Media. The company will take over 2old2play's already impressive revenue stream and advertising numbers in hopes to single-handedly doubled the companies quarterly profits.

Word of the announcement has sent shock waves through the gaming community as most believed 2old2play 's high profit margin was enough to keep it a small profitable and free site for years to come. Many point to founder "dudies la rock" wild spending as the reason for the sale and estimate final numbers for the site to come in the near the 3 figure range.

Inside sources believe the take over of 2old2play will usher in new and even more over successful community of controlling power hungry moderators, censorship, and "retarded" rules set to single out only certain members who know that mods "only pick on them."

In the end the move to a pay only site should also bring in even more revenue and an even larger sum of money for the still 10% share holder, Due Dee Roc. This 19 year old wonder kid has truly built a community to inspire all young entrepreneurs. More news to follow.

I said to myself... hmm. Today is April fools, I wonder what Doodi has done this year. So I opened up 2O2P and when I saw the headline, I knew he hadn't let me down.

Very Nice Doodi. I image you will catch some people with it, but you didn't catch me. I was looking for the story this year.

C'mon Doodi. You can do better than that! How bout removing blogs for the day or locking the Halo:Comp forum or announcing that you really are Lisa and the joke's been on us the whole time.

I believe that those who have donated to the site have, in effect, purchased equity in the site. So I believe that all of us who have either donated $$$$ (or the wonderful posts and blogs that make the site interesting) are due some compensation from the evil corporation taking over 2o2p.

In addition, while the sweat equity that the founders/mods have put in is valuable (although odiferous) - I think the 10% going to Due Dee Roc is a bit excessive.

I think a "clan-action" lawsuit might be in order. Or you money grubbing executives who have sold our wonderful community out from underneath us should at least buy everyone a beer at the lan.

Happy April 1st!
