Nice idea but you can not do that way. Against the law unless it goes one way or the other: charge membership OR register with S.E.C. as a public company and deaf people can buy stocks. Trouble is, sir, that relay company will buy a half million dollars worth of stocks. They will become the majority stockholder and rights to be on the board of directors. Usually the founders are kicked off the company's board of directors. It has happened to Steve Jobs when they fired him, or Edgar Hetten who left in disgust with the board at Polaris (snowmobiles) Industries back in 1969 and started Arctic Cat. Also it has happened to the founder of Carl's Jr. Restaurant and he did not like being kicked out so he had a proxy takeover.I see there are nearly 14,000 people here.
I suggest we can make a donation $20.00 each..
$20 x 14,000 = $280,000
If we give that to Alex.. I'm sure that Alex will rethink how important deaf community to offer $$ for this one.
I think that might will work. It doesn't have to be genius to figure out.
What do you think guys?
ya never know!! He probably likes to tease us and make us to talk and beg over and over. hmm?? like I said you never know.What are everyonebody talking about April fool's day?? It is not even April 1 yet. Jeez.
If it s 500k for just to get a right to domian 'alldeaf' , then do it. You can always create new domain name for this msgboard.
Wow congrats Alex ! Just follow your heart. If I were in your shoes to hiring an attorney to make the right decision.
I agree with Brian totally.
Yes I would advise you to check with professional Expert or lawyer for their advice on this.
If you agrees to take someone´s offer then remove my pictures here please...
Would you remain as forum site with different names if you agrees to sell your site to someone for $500,000?
You really are from a galaxy far, far away. Around here, 500K after taxes is just a down payment on a house. A house with no yard, much less a swimming pool. And there won't be anything left for a Porsche or a trip to Europe.
ALEX?!The purpose of the meeting was to talk about AllDeaf.com and how much they like it and want to buy it for. They wanted to offer $500,000 for the site.
