Selling gaming forum - Established 12 months

I am in need of some funds for a new project that I am working on, because of this I am now accepting offers on my gaming website http://www.video-gaming.net

The domain in itself is a gem. I have had it appraised at high $xxx, low $xxxx. The website is PR 4 and has been for the past 11 months.

This site has been up and running over 12 months now. I have never really had the chance to spend the time to advertise it properly.

Although the forums look quite empty this is mostly because a few weeks ago I did a mass prune and deleted over 5000 posts to start a fresh.

Hours and hours of work has gone into developing this website. The version of vBulletin the site is running has been heavily modified. Also the site has had a custom skin made for it. (worth $600).

Recently I have installed a mod_rewrite hack to the forums. Now all the forum URLs are search engine friendly. Eg. http://www.video-gaming.net/forum/sony.html

Its only a matter of time before google indexes all the pages and the sites traffic and PR goes up.

Sorry, this sale does not come with the vbulletin licence, as I would like to hold onto it for my next project.

Like I said, I am only selling this website because I am in desperate need of funds for a project that I am working on. If it was up to me I would keep the website and spend the time to develop it and make the site as successful as it deserves to be.

Like I said, the forums are not very active at the moment. But this site is a goldmine for anyone who is willing to put some time into it.

There are currently 2 moderators at the forums who do a very good job of keeping everyone in line. I am sure that they will not mind staying on and lending a hand when the site gets handed over to the new owner.

The domain is reged at namecheap for a free and easy push.
I can host the site for a while on my server to give you a chance to move it to your own server.

If you have any questions please drop me a PM and I will be happy to help.

I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks,
Jon

If anyone feels like making me an offer please do so, however low it is. I really need the funds from this site today.
Thanks,
Jon

Hi,
I have had a few offers, however for some reason or another they can’t pay right away.

Please, if your interested in the website make me an offer and I will more than likely accept it.

Thank you,
Jon

I have just received an offer for $750, which I accepted. However the buyer had to pull out at the last second down to problems out of his control.

I am looking for a quick sale. Please make me an offer if you are interested.

The site is currently down, sorry about that. However it should be up again shortly.

I look forward to hearing from you,
Jon

Update: The server is back up.

I'll offer $350

 

[Jon]

OK, desperate times call for desperate measures. The first offer I receive over $500 gets it.

Please note: This site is posted on multiple forums, the time stamp will determine who gets the site.

could be that there are only a dozen or so posts, other then by a bot, as the reason you are having trouble off-loading this one

Like I said in my first post, Although the forums look quite empty this is mostly because a few weeks ago I did a mass prune and deleted over 5000 posts to start a fresh.

When I did the prune I had no plans of selling the site, i realise that this will decrease the value of the site somewhat.

Also, if you check out a few members’ profiles you will be able to tell that the forums have been very active in the past.

Please keep your negative comments out of my sales thread.

Price drop, $400. The price of this site is going to keep dropping until it is sold. Catch it quick before someone else does.

If you have any questions PM me or post them in this thread.

Thanks,
Jon
