    Selling my forum

    Greetings,

    I have been so busy lately in studying and stuff (I study computer scince at UC Berkeley) and had no time to update and keep track of my forum,so I decided to sell it and I am now getting 3-4 emails a day.The problem is that I have no idea how much should I price it!

    It has been up since 1999
    vBulletin 2.0.0
    members: 807
    posts: 4064
    threads: 25831
    (the actual posts & threads number are 5 times more than that,but for some reason I lost the backup of the old data)


    What would you price it if you were in my shoes?!

    TIA

    More threads than posts? I take it you mean more posts than threads

    To be honest I'm not sure what to price it as....obviously the loss of old posts/threads puts you at a slight disadvantage.

    I would recommend coming up with a paragraph or so about your forum, visitor stats, the community etc, then posting it both here and in the trading forums of other webmaster sites around the net.

      Yes I know the loss of my old data would low the price a bit,but it's still strangly cannot be recovered!

          Give us your daily unique visits, daily pageviews, and monthly pageviews.

          You have barely any members, so I doubt you'll get much for it.

                Can you translate a little of these threads:




                One person repeats something over and over, and such. Is this some Anti-American stuff? I'm just interested and can't find an online translator.

                    Yes. The repeated phrase is (God is Great(er)!!!) = Allahu Akbar

                      The forum itself is not worth much. However, your domain name is quite good for the Arab speaking high-tech businesses.

                        Let's keep the political rhetoric out of these forums. Even if the forums are Anti-American we don't need to read reverse rhetoric and slurs back at them.

                        If you are emotionally wrought over today's events and can't deal with it in a rational manner then you should retire and come back when you can think more clearly.

                            Members are discussing today's incident in NYC. However, it doesnt necessarily reflect www.al-atheer.com's opinion or any of it's moderators.
