AJR1 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 It would seem in the crazy world that is online acquisitions these days that neowin had not ever been approached for a take-over or buyout whatever you want to call it. As far as i can tell, theres one of the most loyal user bases on the internet, great community spirit around the entire place. Theres a gigantic amount of topics covered, from tech support to game reviews to general news. The community that Neowin has helped stich together is bound to be worth a few 0's in the eyes of advertisers etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hell-In-A-Handbasket Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 if it did happen, i could see a massive exodus from neowin by the subscriberbase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duritz Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 is Neowin a corporation? or even a company? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cara Veteran Posted May 23, 2008 Veteran Share Posted May 23, 2008 Neowin is a LLC (Limited Liability Company) I believe, they have at least one major US Investor also. That being said The majority is held by the Admins so there shouldn't be a takeover issue, unless they decided to sell the site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 There was thread a week or 2 ago. I think it was about Neowin being 40% owned by another company (StyleXP i think they said) and they wanted less pointless bashing of their products on the board. I can't find the link or the post, but I bet someone can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dance. Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 Doubt it. Unless the site isn't earning enough from the ads and subscribers/donations to keep the servers up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stardock owning 40% of Neowin has taken a ton of pressure off the site's reliance on ads/subscribers/donations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
