high bid is currently $4800
I had this posted before and received random offers. Decided I dont have time for this and am going to sell it. I plan to accept the highest bid by 5PM CST Wednesday August 15. Starting bid is only $4,000!


I’ve decided to sell RapForums.com. The main reason I am selling it, is that I had moved it to my secondary server a month ago and never moved it back to my primary one, and then this past Thursday evening the hard drive failed (my secondary server does not have a raid setup, only primary does) and I lost a lot of data. The most recent backup I had was from July 3rd.

Needless to say, I lost several hundred new member signups, tournaments that were going, and over 15,000 posts. I don’t have the time to rebuild the site, because I have many other sites I am working on.
This is a great deal for someone looking for a site to focus on, because the potential is DEFINITELY there.
The website ranks excellent for the term ‘Rap forums’ which is obviously the most used term for a forum like this. The site was #1 for all SE's for the term rap forums, but I just checked and now it is #2 in google, which is probally because the site was down thursday night thru last night. The site comes with everything you see there. I moved the site to my other server and loaded my backup late last night, and there was about 250 posts that were made, so there is still traffic.

Before the crash, the site was getting over 1,000 posts a day, and over 20 new members a day. Additionally, there were 2 tournaments that were going on that were extremely popular.

Anyways, I have screenshots of July’s statistics, only because I never reboot my laptop nor desktop, and found out that I had the awstats statistics already open in one of my tabs on my laptop, so luckily I can show how it was before hand.

This is one of the BEST domains in this genre, so the domain alone is worth a lot.
The currently loaded site has over 50,000 posts and over 3,000 members.
I just want to sell this, so starting bid is $6,000 BIN is set at a pretty fair $8,000

I will also provide the new owner with the contact information of the person that I had managing the site. I paid him a monthly fee, which was very fair.

If you don't sell it and I don't sell mine are you interested in doing a link swap?
www.Gangsters.cc (4500 members , over 4000 uniques yesterday alone and around 120k pageviews daily) ? Would be a good exchange for both of us.
 
UDLTD -we'll see.

Current high offer: $4000 from a member on another forum!
 
ending soon!

As I said in the original post, there is no revenue. I've never monetized the site.

Bandwidth is minimal, and should be able to easily get by with 700megs of space and 50gigs transfer. (I have dedicated servers, so hosting isnt an issue for me).

I pay the person $200 a month, and he does everything. Creates new skins from time to time, installs new hacks, moderates site, removes spam, etc etc

Anyways, high bid is $4800. Get the bids in soon before it ends!!
