About the same as his ever launching his earth-shattering recruiting tool.

I think you're referring to that host on KXNO who is leaving, and they're right, it is not going to happen. He already shit on Clear Channel when he and Deace unceremoniously left radio to go and revolutionize the genre together. Before that, he was slated to take Zabel's job when he retired.
The old man had the pull to keep Jon on Soundoff after he failed on his own a few weeks after quitting, but now that Jim's gone, they don't want anything to do with him.

This directly contradicts everything Jan said at le tailgate last year. Ghosto, you missed some epic self-horn-tootin' that day. Frankenbrah rolled up and started almost immediately with the self promotion. After I interceded when he mistook Fatter Eric for me, that is. I still wonder what Fatter Eric and his bros thought when some strange stranger came up and intro'd himself with extreme confidence and started chatting. The puzzled looks on the faces of those dudes was priceless. That I didn't think to snap a quick pic of the tableau is one of my greatest regrets in life. You met Janny in real life? bahahhahahha I love it. What was the douchetard like? He looks and sounds kinda like a dumb horse.

Basically the opposite of what you posted. He had decided at that point not to return to SoundsOff, despite Zabel begging him. The radio gigs were jus' funnin', and he left voluntarily and at his own choosing. The BTN gig imploded because the big black guy was inexperienced, stupid, had no timing or on-camera presence, and there was no chemistry between him and Jan. He has been approached by multiple important persons and/or parties that wish to pay an OK4P's king's ransom for HN. We're talking fat six figures. He is holding out tho, because. And so on. That pack of lies would crumble quickly if anyone cared enough to investigate.

If there's money in HN, why isn't he making any money off of it? I remember he once created a thread thanking everyone for making HN wildly successful. That was before he went banhammer crazy on the posters that made it what it was. So the answer to your question is he is the reason he isn't making any money off of it. Fortunately for him he had a solid plan B: move to glamorous Oklahoma and sell natural gas leases, or whatever it is he's selling down there.

I once met the owner of Illiniboard at some bar in Chi-town bince he is a friend of a friend. He said he got offered 6 figs for the illiniboard domain back when Yahoo was totes cereal about buying up all the virtual real estate to build out rivals, but that now those domain names are worth approximately jack and shit because there is so much other content out there and Rivals and Scout have their established brands that aren't reliant at all anymore on school specific names. I'd believe JD got offered a princely sum for HN back in the day, but it is probably only worth a fraction of that today. Who knows, though, it only takes one more company trying to build a Scout or Rivals and buying domain names for that bubble to reinflate.

Sometime in the past year, he started asking for donations, which makes it seem like he can't cover operating costs, saying nothing of turning a profit.
