[dnreg]

I've been approached by a friend to sell this domain and website, and this is an amazing set indeed!

He's written up a description, so I'm going to put it here:

Avg. monthly revenue BEFORE: $1500 /month
Revenue details:
Revenue for the past year has been aprox $1500+ a month from Adsense + donations given from the site.

I lost my Google Adsense account because some one abused it on my other site, just recived a email from Google Adsense that my account has gotten INVALID clicks and that I can no longer use Adsense on any of my sites.
Proof of earning $1500 with google I dont have, that`s why I'm saying monthly revenue to $400.

Im getting around $400 USD donations through PayPal, for access to some parts of the forum.

You said in your listing the domain is PR6, it shows up as PR4 for me?

[dnreg]

K, that has been changed to PR4 now. Sorry for the mistake, this is straight from the owner. Thank you for the information!

What is the url of the "other" site?

[dnreg]

I believe the URL of the other site is worldwideforum.net. This is off memory, so if I am wrong (which I doubt I am) I'll come back to edit this. I'm almost 100% positive that's the one.

[dnreg]

The site is still up for sale. We've heard a few offers so far, but none at our asking price, so if you're interested feel free to contact me!

Total Registered Members Since August 03: 124,598

How can there be more members since a specific date than total users?

[dnreg]

A mod was installed that makes it where if accounts are inactive for x weeks their accounts are purged to keep it clean and the database only at the level it needs to be. The users must post once every five days at least to be able to keep their active account status.

[dnreg]

Hello folks,

This site has recently come back up for sale, as the person who we thought might buy it did not. The hits are going UP still, so please PM your offers, and we'll get going again.

Thanks!

datawire: What are you talking about? It's not sold at all.. there are over 300 people active on the forum as we speak. Maybe you're only looking at the top post, so perhaps I'll edit it to be more clear. Thanks.
