A fact from Fleshbot appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 22 January 2026 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows: Did you know... that the sex-oriented blog Fleshbot received more than one million views in the week it was launched? A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Did you know archive/2026/January. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Fleshbot.

I noticed that the Gawker Media article lists this blog as "formerly owned by", in addition to noticing its omission from being linked/connected to the other Gawker blogs. So the question is, which article is current in the information? --99.186.111.95 (talk) 03:25, 24 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

The whois info for Fleshbot.com is the same as that of other Gawker sites, and no official statements about a sale have been made. On Boinkology, the editor of Fleshbot still lists Fleshbot as "Gawker Media's blog about sex, porn, and the web". Plus, the "advertising" link at the bottom of Fleshbot goes to advertising.gawker.com. Basically, it seems Gawker Media still owns Fleshbot, but doesn't like to talk about it. 82.73.154.190 (talk) 11:01, 22 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

The source for the statement about the WHOIS record appears to be dynamic. Is there a way to archive it? Wank Hilliams (talk) 00:50, 27 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Fleshbot. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

• Added archive https://archive.is/20130412041321/http://www.webstatzone.com/whois/fleshbot.com.htm to http://www.webstatzone.com/whois/fleshbot.com.htm

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

Editors have permission to delete these "External links modified" talk page sections if they want to de-clutter talk pages, but see the RfC before doing mass systematic removals. This message is updated dynamically through the template {{source check}} (last update: 5 June 2024).

This entry sorely needs updating. The site has changed significantly,not least of which is that it's a pale version of itself and almost completely composed of advertising masked as "articles." It's terrible. 150.135.165.33 (talk) 17:24, 3 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
