do you know what the main reason was for them buying the assets? Traffic, Codebase, Domain, YC fame? did you post all your traffic stats on the auction at the time?

I asked them how they valued the auction. Response:

- 50k for the domain name

- 175k (or so) for two man-years of engineer time and the code

- 25k for user base

This is all a bit fuzzy and from memory, so I could be somewhat off.
