Not to be rude or anything, but what exactly is Truemors now? I guess it got acquired, because when you visit the URL you get redirected here.

http://truemors.nowpublic.com/

A cursory review of the content shows a moderate number of submissions, extremely light "interest" (e.g. the number one "greatest" truemor has 5 "interested" points -- maybe I don't understand what that means?) and almost zero participation in the way of comments.

So some company overpaid him for what appears to be an extremely lackluster product? Is there more to it than this? Because if not, this falls in the same category of Ethan Hawke giving a presentation called "How I Got My Novel Published and You Can Too" -- i.e. useless.

It never had many customers. You could pretty much upload a picture of your next bowel movement, create a login system, if you had the PR machine that is Guy Kawasaki behind it, get at least 80% as many users as Truemors.
