People ask me all the time to bring it back. Was fun when it was happening and I tried to be funny and good-spirited, but now I have more of an appreciation for entrepreneurs and how hard it is to build a business... so I won't bring it back.

Also won't bring it back because of onwards and upwards.. and so on.

Thanks for asking though :) Still makes me happy when people tell me they like my work.

Fuckedcompany served an important role as a reality check on some of the more idiotic aspects of the bubble. As an entrepreneur who was active at that very time I really want to thank you for providing a bit of a backdrop against which my strategy made some sense. I realized early on that 'go big or go home' would probably translate into 'go bust or go home' and I felt that the huge number of businesses that ended up in the 'go bust' bin versus the ones that made it turned the whole art of running a business more into something resembling a lottery.

So I agree fully with not bringing it back but if we ever get into another out-of-control over-hyped dumb money situation then I really hope that you or someone like you will do a re-run of fuckedcompany.com.

I want to shake your hand and buy you a drink. Long live FC.
