First of all, congrats to csallen, I have been following your journey from the day you launched on HN and it was fascinating to follow along. If you haven't read his month in review posts, highly recommended.

I hope it's not taboo to speculate on the acquisition price, so here's my take :

* extrapolating a $5k/month revenue to a year = $60k/year

* acquisition price is roughly 2-4x yearly revenue so $120k to $240k

* Plus a full time salary at roughly $120k/year

Really cool stuff man, congrats again!

One of the things I dislike about advertising on IH was that it was distracting. I see multiple adverts while reading an interview along with links to tweet pull quotes, not a fan of both those aspects. Glad to know that the advertisements will be removed.

Can't wait to see how IndieHackers grows, especially the community.
