Hackaday For Sale, Editors Seek Crowd Funding To Buy It

Posted by samzenpus on from the raiding-the-piggy-bank dept.

ilikenwf writes "Hackaday's owner, Jason Calacanis, has decided to sell the popular hacking/modding site for around $540,000. Multiple parties are interested; the most promising buyer at the moment appears to be the current editors, who are attempting to buy the site via crowdsourcing and incorporate it under a nonprofit to keep the hacks flowing. One way or another, the site should survive."

    Oh let me guess, it's a third-rate hive of ineptitude filled by poseur no-talent scum who trade off the word 'hack' and spend their 'working' hours creating content such has 'how to hack the grocery store by buying food when it is on sale'.

    Correct?
