10 years worth of articles have value, I bet 80% of their monthly traffic comes from search engine. No amount of opening up a new free hosted wordpress blog and calling it the new hackaday is going to change that.

You might not see value in it, but I wouldn't be too surprised if some big blog network snaps up hackaday soon.

With a little bit care you can make some serious money with that much traffic, even if most of the traffic is tech savvy and some of them might use adblock and generally immune to traditional ads.

Right. It's a business. I don't get any of the ad revenue. Why am I being asked to donate money for what's essentially a private equity buyout?

Oh I misunderstood, I thought you were referring to the value of the blog.
