Love the site. Always good to lighten up the day and have some candid banter about current events in finance. I'm not sure if you've covered this in other posts, but would love to know more about the the public forum business (i.e. WSOASIS).
How many users are you at? What are annual revenues like? What valuation would you give it? Do you have any VC money?
I'll take a total shot in the dark - 100k active users, $300k valuation. BTW, how is the law version of the site going?

btw, what does a guy gt do to get a silver banana around here? I have 418 posts and I don't even think i have one.
You now have 2 SB's and I think $300K would be low.
compbanker, what's your role again? Staff writer or frequent poster? Which user is the owner again? How many staff writers (is edmundo on the team or freeloading monkey, like myself)?
Patrick, WSO founder, is currently doing a Q&A for the front page with me... Look out for it over the next couple of days.
