Clutch, if Bleacher Report can raise this level of dinero, then so can you! CF.net is the gold standard of internet message boards, and your forums have far more activity than B.R. It's time to put in a call to some VCs. Briefing below.

Bleacher Report, a San Francisco-based sports media website, has raised $22 million in new VC funding. Oak Investment Partners led the round, and was joined by return backers Crosslink Capital and Hillsven Capital. www.bleacherreport.com


Inspirational Business Quotes from Steve Jobs below:
“Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure — these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.”

“You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.”

I agree, I think Clutch could make a lot more money with this site, if that is the direction he wanted to take it.

Those are loans, and my guess is that they will not be repaid. Bleacher report is garbage.

Why does everyone hate on Bleacher Report?
Sure, the stories aren't that accurate, but those articles are interesting damn it!

CF should charge 5-10 dollars for the ability to have a sig - not only would it raise cash, I wouldn't have to read any of those "clever" signatures 20 times a day.

Some people's sigs are embarassingly bad.

answered your own question right there.

this site made its name by not posting crap stories, if you read it here you can be assured that there is a factual basis for what is written.

that's one of the things that make long term members proud to be here.

Turn them off.

I have not shown sigs in several years and have never missed seeing them.

Makes for a much neater forum read.

Occasionally you will be tempted to look when someone says "see my sig" but you learn to resist.
