>Peter Thiel is getting closer to his goal: Gawker Media has filed for bankruptcy protection and says it eventually plans to find a new owner for the company.

>Gawker and owner Nick Denton are making the Chapter 11 filing today, in order to avoid paying Thiel and Hulk Hogan the $140 million judgment they won in Hogan’s privacy trial earlier this year.

>Gawker has told it employees it still plans to fight the Thiel/Hogan case and to operate its publishing business while it does so. But it is also now formally entertaining offers to buy the company and says it has a firm bid from publisher Ziff Davis to buy the entire operation for less than $100 million.

>(Update: In a memo to employees, Ziff Davis CEO Vivek Shah says his company has an "asset purchase agreement" to buy seven Gawker titles, and says there is a "tremendous fit between the two organizations." It is worth noting that while Shah's memo says he intends to buy Gawker.com, he doesn't list the site when describing Ziff Davis' plans to integrate Gawker Media's other sites.

Sure feels good.

Memo from the company potentially buying their assets:

http://archive.is/r6KTr

>Ziff Davis has entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire all of these properties (free of GMG's liabilities), subject to the outcome of a Court-supervised auction. Under the Chapter 11 process, the Bankruptcy Court will soon set a schedule for other potential bidders to enter the sale process. There will then be an auction, which will likely take place at the end of July.

>From: Vivek Shah

>To: ZD All

Subject: Announcement

>I wanted to share some news about a potential acquisition for Ziff Davis. Earlier today, Gawker Media Group (GMG) filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. As part of that process, GMG plans to sell its media properties Gizmodo, Lifehacker, Kotaku, Jalopnik, Deadspin, Jezebel and Gawker.

>Ziff Davis has entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire all of these properties (free of GMG's liabilities), subject to the outcome of a Court-supervised auction. Under the Chapter 11 process, the Bankruptcy Court will soon set a schedule for other potential bidders to enter the sale process. There will then be an auction, which will likely take place at the end of July.

>In the event we become the acquirer, the additions of Gizmodo, Lifehacker and Kotaku would fortify our position in consumer tech and gaming. With the addition of Jalopnik, Deadspin and Jezebel, we would broaden our position as a lifestyle publisher. Much like us, GMG is heavily active in driving commerce-based revenues and has an impressive publishing and commerce platform with Kinja.

>As you can see, there’s a tremendous fit between the two organizations, from brands to audience to monetization. We look forward to the possibility of adding these great brands – and the talented people who support them – to the Ziff Davis family.

JOURNALISM

WE'RE WINNING

Ben Kuchera (of polygon, not related to gawker) and his replies

>>324897

We won two years ago.

This is the rest of the world catching up.

So just how trustworthy is Ziff-Davis these days? Do they still practice journalism, or have they become yet another clickbait peddler? Are their articles objective or loaded with SJW bias?

>>324898

mmm, delicious roasted hipster.

>>324900

>So just how trustworthy is Ziff-Davis these days

all magazines and publishers are to be doubted until proven otherwise. Let them know now that we aren't going to tolerate garbage and neither will their advertisers.

DANCE BREAD.

PIPING HOT BANTER FROM NOTCH

I miss all those bastards that laughed from time to time "you winning yet?".

We always wanted in the beginning to Kotaku to say they were sorry for calling us women harassers.

We knew that wouldn't happen so getting Gawker down (and with it, Kotaku) was the next best thing.

DAILY REMINDER THAT WE'RE CELEBRATING THE DEATH OF CORRUPT MEDIA

A MEDIA SO CORRUPT THAT ACTUALLY MAKES MONEY OUT OF DESTROYING LIVES

DAILY REMINDER THAT THE ORIGINAL REASON WHY WE WERE BANNED FROM 4CHAN WAS BECAUSE WE REFUSED TO GIVE CLICKS AND VIEWS TO THE MEDIA

USE ADBLOCK EVERYWHERE EXCEPT ON SITES YOU HONESTLY LIKE

ARCHIVE EVERYTHING

I was not prepared for the comments on Jezebel

Kek be praised, this is a subtle touch of meme magic

> I love this blog mum!

wtf

Meanwhile, in 4chan…

Come join us in death, Gawker-kun.

>>324912

Some threads are/were getting deleted apparently. Those that hung around has a lot of celebration, some of which is taking credit saying stuff like "We" won, not Hulk, they.

Occasionally someone points out /v/'s anti-gamergate stance and then everyone tells them "lol no we're not" while the other half of replies shits on them. Complete echo chamber.

> Some threads are/were getting deleted apparently.

Here.

They even warned the poster with "not vidya".

The "LOL" threads, waifu threads and E3 threads are videogames, they are playable and have walkthroughs and Let's Play, though.

So did GG do this, or was it Hogan, or mismanagement, or all 3?

>>324916

It takes a combination of forces to take down a profitable clickbait company like gawker.

Hogans victory just means more money for Hogan.

Gawker might win it's case if it did literally anything different.

Gawker might not file for bankruptcy if not for ODN being such a smashing success.

Third thread got archived. Probably just because it reached 600+ replies:

http://archive.is/NaKqu

>>324916

It was Peter Thiel.

Gawker knew that Hogan didn't have enough cash to put them down, but they didn't knew that Thiel would never forgive them for outing him. And I thought billionaires interested in true justice only existed in comics.

I lost track of how many threads have been deleted.

Meanwhile, in the "first page of the internet", the discussion about Gawker's fate stays at the top.

Did someone say… ''DANCE THREAD?!

"YEAH WE WON"

"YEAH GAMERGATE DID THIS"

"THIS IS TOTALLY BECAUSE OF GAMERGATE AND NOT THE HOGAN SEX TAPE"

What? What's that with the hogan sex tape? Can you elaborate? :^)

>>324921

Who gives a fuck who killed it? Motherfuckers dead bruh.

>>324921

Meh, we're just glad a festering, cancerous shithole of absolute, irredeemable heresy is being purged by THE GLORY OF THE EMPRAH.

>>324909

You forgot a step in your fifth image, Veteran Leader.

Step 4 is not "Then You Win", Step 4 is "Then You Cleanse Them In Atomic Hellfire".

Step ''5'' is "Then You Win".

How can anyone look at this shit and not see 4cucks for the worthless, neutered police state it is?

Nobody's going to hire your corrupt ass though.

>Ziff Davis Media

Oh boy, you remember these fuckers don't you anons? They're why Dan Hsu to resign from 1up and EGM because they wouldn't let him publish his story about how Ubisoft blacklisted them from review copies after trying to explain to readers why some publications were allowed to release their reviews of Assassin's Creed before others (payola).

>>324915

>Fun fact: Gawker Media isn't just Gawker. It is also We Hate Games, Feminist Cancer, Cringe Central, Quazimodo and more.

Okay?

>>324938

Where were you when the journalists who killed the gamers were dragged down by skeletal hands?

>>324921

>implying hogan wasn't summoned by our meme magisters

>>324940

>Cringe Central

I know the other three, but this one escapes me.

>>324940

We Hate Games = Kotaku

Feminist Cancer = Jezeble

Quazimodo = Gizmodo

Cringe Central = Lifehacker (probably)

>>324919

They lost a case against some guy about a sex tape and now filed for bankruptcy. What does this have to do with video games?

If you made a thread on reddit about it on a totally unrelated subreddit, it would probably get deleted, too.

But I am on the wrong chan to argue this.

>>324922

>-No one

What am I shilling exactly? 4chan?

Anyone wrote Kotaku not to worry, because gamers do some of their best work while dead?

http://blog.dilbert.com/post/145752012716/gawker-goes-bankrupt

>Underling 1: Well, Ziff Davis is a digital media company that specializes in websites for consumers making important buying decisions.

>CEO: Go on.

>Underling 1: And Gawker is like a rapist eating his own vomit.

>CEO: Wait, what?

>Underling 2: That’s not all. When you think of Gawker, you automatically think of Hulk Hogan’s penis. That’s like a celebrity endorsement without the licensing fees.

Sweet Sweet death of Gawker

Ain't it grand

>>324915

Once they catch on that you are vocally against SJW they will put you on a list that gets you a permenant ban for even the tiniest infraction.

Its the 4chan equivalent of shadow banning.

So that person who was warned for talking about the gawker case, will be banned very soon permanently.

>>324959

To further help that, the man's tweet:

https://twitter.com/ScottAdamsSays/status/741610474697940992

And I love his description of Jezebel.

>Underling 2: Well, Jezebel is what you’d get if a Zika virus took the wrong prescription meds, burrowed into a day-old turd, and called itself a publication.

>>324946

I don't know shit about Lifehacker of Gizmodo. What are they/like?

>>324968

Lifehacker bills itself as a site dedicated to "life hacks" (tips and tricks to help you become more efficient/productive in daily life).

However, from what I've seen, its so-called "life hacks" are, at best, things that anyone with a drop of common sense already knows.

At worst, they're actually counterproductive.

Gizmodo… the last time I visited there was years before GamerGate, but it seemed to be well on the way to becoming a gadget-oriented version of Kotaku.

>>324959

Probably mad that Gawker reported on his weird puppet account behavior in which he bragged about his IQ in third person.

>>324905

what mash up is this? its hilarious.

After all the bridges you've burned Gawker, get comfy. you ain't getting out of this one.

Okay while we fight to the finishing blow on Gawker, what's our next target?

>>325017

Next we assault treehouse,breach their defenses and flood em with ethics..yes lots and lots of ethics.

I can't blame anyone who "quits" gg after this most of the goals set out to accomplish have been accomplished or at least tried to accomplish.

Godspeed to them my they nit fall victim to burnout faggotry and twatter retardation

oh Lawd come down Amen

>>325017

Watchdog mode on Ziff-Davis if they do buy shit publications like Kotaku and Jezebel.

>>324905

>>324994

I need it

>>325078

>>324994

I got you and I DO admit to enjoying cuckholding, but you didn't hear that from me. It's a mashup of vid related and Shake That done by a furfag

https://soundcloud.com/shokkbutt/ruining-songs-forever

Vid related is a remix of Joanna by Kool & the Gang.

>>325017

Vice or treehouse is good for me.

>>325017

We should focus on making Gawker's writers as politically radioactive as possible. For vice and a few other GameJurnoPro companies are just going to hire them and give them a platform. Contact advertisers for Intercept (who hired Bulling biddle) and tell them about who they are supporting.

And who are you

Nick Denton said

that I must check my work

>>325181

Do that

BUT

IF YOU REALLY WANT TO REKT THE FUCKS

AND I MEAN PERMANENTLY

Then you have to fuck them up with SEO

With SEO you can make it that all results for gawker editors' names are just horrible, nothing but all the shit they been doing

Thats how you make them un-hirable

Wired Japan publishes it's support.
