PLEASE NOTE THIS IS TOTALLY HYPOTHETICAL!! !!

If WP were to have a "For Sale" sign on it one day, how much would the asking price in $$$ be?

4 figures?
5 figures??
6 figures???
Infinity???????

Alex has estimated the total price to be over a million billion dollars.

That's definately a serious over estimate. Either that or he's lost his bloody mind.

Please also note: I'm not implying anything about any alleged WP/AutSpeaks takeover and querying the amount of money involved. If any aspie regular joe came forward and expressed interest in buying is what I mean. Hypothetically still!!

It's probably worth more to the members in terms of support and socialization than dollar values could represent.

If you want a literal answer, it's probably worth 1/8 the original cost of the server (or less) + some number of months of revenue + donations. Which probably means not much. Maybe 4 figures.

I'd also like to throw in that if Autism Speaks buys the place, I'm gone forever.

Yes, that'd be the value of all the tangible assets, but the intangible things like goodwill/reputation would make up a huge portion of the total value and bump it up into 5 figures at least.
