SUBJECT: Something Awful Partnership / Acquisition Opportunity

Hi Rich,

My name is [SOME NECKBEARD LOOKIN DUDE] and I am the VP of Audience Development for the Hive Media Group based out of San Diego. We at Hive Media have been big fans of Something Awful for some time and love the brand that your team created. I think the combination of your somethingawful.com brand combined with Hive Media’s industry-leading ad tech and scientific approach to user experience could potentially be a winning formula.

We regularly invest, partner and acquire other media companies that we believe would complement our strengths in digital publishing. I would like to arrange a call with you to discuss if there is an opportunity for us to partner or acquire the Something Awful brand.

Regards,

[SOME NECKBEARD LOOKIN DUDE]
Great news is that SA will finally be in good company, what with such valuable sites as "Give It Love" and "POSTFUN!!!" You know, POSTFUN!!! There’s no wrong way to enjoy yourself browsing Postfun!

Seems legit. I would demand a role and title within the illustrious Hive Media(Tm) organization as part of your compensation though.

I can't wait to see what we are capable of once we finally have a highly-verticalized big data leveraged multi-armed bandit tested proprietary software with structured writing and rapid management in our corner.

Frankly it was embarrassing that it took so long

Oh man, I had this confused with HIVE. Which is a bar/private karaoke/club/arcade/Asian food restaurant/ beer tap house here in San Diego.

I was pretty excited at first because this place is trying TOOOOOOO hard to be 100 different things at once. SA woulda been a good fit.

I don’t know, man, they got “Highly-Verticalized Content Managed With Proprietary Best-In-Class Technology”. I don’t think you can keep up with that, Lowtax. Maybe it is time to sell.
