I was both a user and shareholder of suite101. I loved the site and managed to exit the stock with a nice profit. Subject 25282 In 1996, I negotiated the acquisition of Cybertown, a science fiction themed virtual community. At the time it had almost as many users as Gerocities. Unfortunately, the investment banker pulled the plug at the last moment. I still have a vivid memory of listening to the voice mail message. The site eventually became a ghost town and went offline last month. I was doing due diligence in the Cybertown offices when Flight 800 went down off of Long Island on July 17, 1996 and I watched the site light up with commentary. It was a real WTF moment for me. I really wanted to do that deal. BTW, your occasional loyalty to GGR has been noted on the Picks thread.
