Imagine:
You have a growing successful website and you wonder what to do with it, would your answer be: I should sell it on flippa?
I think this is a poor advice, especially in an entrepreneur community.

Given the huge size of fandalism, Phil would probably be better of hiring an investment banker or business broker to sell the it (not that it's his goal here)... Flippa's specialty is under $250K, once you start approaching 7-figures, the transaction gets more complex, the buyers get bigger, and it makes sense to have a professional involved.
It did answer the original question. I wouldn't have downvoted it, but I wouldn't have upvoted it either.
That said, I do believe it's not the best suggestion (especially since pud seems engaged and interested in growing the site).
Maybe I have misused downvoting here. Can't downvoting be used to express disagreement instead of just reporting a misbehaviour?
(Actually I think it is the first time I use this downvote feature on HN so the damage is fairly limited so far).
I am not taking sides on whether entrepreneurs should sell their companies. But I think there is a problem when bringing up the subject is frowned upon on. I am unsure whether this is a problem with Hacker News' moderation system or it really is a taboo.
