Comments on: SHOCK: PlanetOut Delisted From Nasdaq http://www.queerty.com/shock-planetout-delisted-from-nasdaq-20090616/ Free of an agenda. Except that gay one.

Utterly ridiculous and they should be jailed for raping the company as they did. However, from what I've heard they have cleaned house and gotten rid of all the idiots and are poised to bring it all back to life better than ever. I've been watching Planetout.com especially and found it odd they re-launched it a few months ago and didn't say a word. It's actually looking really good. I hope they do well as some of these publications and URLs are iconic to our community. Don't write them off yet. I think it’s sad what previous management of this company did.

PlanetOut was listed on the NASDAQ after going public in 2005, not in 2000. The delisting was a move on Regent's part following the close of the sale of PlanetOut. The real news here is that Regent has now acquired PlanetOUt as of last Friday. They made no announcement and rumor is that they are laying low and plan a lot of tactical and controversial structural moves in the coming months, all best kept on the down low.

I've been underwhelmed by Planet Out's reporting style and content almost since it went public in 2000 and rarely even bother to go there anymore. Of course that may be a generational thing on my part but with just a little search effort, I've found many other gay sites that are infintely better. Queerty being a good example.
