Owner selling to start a new project.
Per the request of the owner, the BIN is now being reduced for quick sale.

Please don't bid if you can't pay upon aution end. All payments via Paypal.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

*NOTE: this site was not a participant in the paid forum posting that I offer in my signature, or ANY other paid posting service. These are all real users, and real posts. Thanks for viewing this thread. Let the bidding begin...

Update number 1: The statment above is untrue. Wildpb, has not used paid forum posts, however there was the use of a newsgroup hack to import news into the forum. I would approximate 15,650 post being that of newgroup imports. I was unaware of this before and have reviewed the site and spoke to the owner.


Edit: One more clarification... stats prior to nov show www.oldskoolindustries.net. The website was origional set up on this domain and then just moved to wildpb.com. wildpb.com was previously forwarded to www.oldskoolindustries.net. The domain www.oldskoolindustries.net has just expired, however the owner is getting it back (upon verification) and it will go with the sale should the registrar release it back to him. He has paid to have it placed back into his account, I am just awaiting the confirmation of this. SEE BELOW

Update number 2
www.oldskoolindustries.net has not been recovered at this time, so is no longer part of this sale. If it is recovered from the expiry status, it will be first offered for sale to the purchaser of Wildpb.com and should they not want it, I will put it up for sale seperatly for another to bid on.

Update number 3

The forum stats origionally stated:
Threads: 13,053, Posts: 105,024, Members: 7,556

The correct stats, which have been verified and reset are:
Threads: 7,569, Posts: 61,144, Members: 7,558

Update number 4
All traffic specified about is real, and not paid traffic. Most come from direct request and links from other PaintBall websites. What you will see and should understand is Wildpb was developed as a Media Forum. The problem the current owner has is he runs Paintball videos within the site. Most visitors come to see thier "team" videos and don't do alot of posting, thus the high member count and vers. the high post count...

As for this sale, the owner has decided to reduce the min offer amount to $1000.00. That is $1500.00 less than origionally posted. Payments are via Paypal, so please don't post sold and request another payment method. I will not be around to answer questions until tomarrow evening as I am going hunting :). Will be happy to answer any you may have when I return.

Thanks to all that helped get the details of this site better defined. Good luck...

Mark

The initial domain which expired, what's the status on that. Is the owner definitely going to recieve it back, and if so, any idea of when?

IMO, would have been better to wait till that domain is secured before attempting a sale.

BIN will be set at $1500.00.

Thanks for the inquiry.

Also, for those interested, the owner would like to continue to be active at the forum, as there are many paintball teams that have thier own forum at wildpb to announce competitions, etc...
