Selling gamingforums.net

You will get full ownership of the site https://www.gamingforums.net running XenForo, the domain, and addons, themes and other things we use.

The domain has been registered for about 11 years.

You will also get our MyBB installation with a custom theme that looked really nice (can be found in the wayback machine).

I'll also be your system administrator for a month (renewable) if you wish.

 

how much you earn per month from this forum and traffic?

 

I've replied to all conversations from interested buyers. Further information is provided to these people on demand.

I've raised the price to ensure we make back money we've spent into it. We can't do it anymore because we're both busy, and semesters started again for us.

You get all accounts we use, our social medias etc too. Too many to make a list, but a buyer with the money will get it. It just needs SEO and that won't be too hard, domain name and domain age is quite supportive, examples.

 

Domain sounds nice. But i am pretty confused about the price. $2000 starting bid for a website which has more members than posts!! I thought about looking at the website and lost interest. I am not sure why you are asking so much for a website/forum which is so low in terms of activity. I'll pass this one.

 

Investments, services, and the domain itself. I'll lower it to $1500, but honestly it can easily work with some SEO and the rest is basically ready off the bat. Secure, and quite nice.

 

Your price is to high for a for this Forum, I was interested but man. Maybe it is me but it seems like many sellers here try to get over. Can you post traffic stats, and earnings? I don't want to here about money invested because the new owner/s should not have to incur that cost you do. We are only interested in current earnings and verified traffic, from minimum of six months and if there is none then your price should be low.

Thanks

 

Exactly, the new owner(s) don't have to incur those costs because I've already paid them. I'm not going to sell it for any less than that, because it'd cost them the same. The domain itself is worth quite a lot.

I don't have traffic stats, that's why they aren't there. I can get some outdated ones from when we used CloudFlare Analytics if you want. And earnings are only from ads on our MyBB one, which paid for a new theme when we used MyBB, and we changed to XenForo about 3 weeks ago? Maybe a month.

The logic here is undeniable. If this forum has zero traffic for a month you expect it to be sold for a low price? No offense, but that's not how it works.

What do you want me to sell for? $500? No chance.

2,606Page views

That's from CloudFlare, one day back when we started. And I disabled CloudFlare so I don't have any more results since.

 

The forum is dead. $1500 is huge for a dead forum. Honestly the best you'll get for this is $100.

 

Are you new to this? LOL

 

Maybe you are new to this, I agree $1500 for a site with small traffic if there is any is crazy

 

My price. But $100 is completely and utterly nuts. Maybe $250 starting for site without domain.

 

it can be the best website in the world but if it has 0 traffic is useless because traffic is the gold for websites....that's what counts the most for buyers because that's where they get profits....having a website with no traffic is a waste of time and you don't know if you invest time and money if u get back at least what u spend and as i see you failed to even get what u spend cause if you have gotten back what you spend you would not have put it here for sale.....

someone may get drunk and buy this for 1500 cause is not worth,,,,, i can create same site for free and get a domain name that is attractive... and get more than 5000 visitors per month but that doesn't mean that i have to sell it for 1500.... wake up in what world are you living,,,, the most section has 185 post!!! i can put an autobot and post that with diferent accounts or make them my self with different accounts.... do you understand that someone can invest 1500 and create a bad ass website...??? u invested alot of money but that stays in the past.... i can invest a million dollar in a website but if it doesn't work why should i sell it for more or even the money i spend when it failed to work??? the domain is good but still for 1500 it;s expensive so my suggest is that keep working on it..... it's anyways dead forum....so having a semester is just a lie because that cannot stop you from keeping the forum u are just an administator u don;t need to do to much if it does work..... keep it as an experiment keep working in it maybe u create something better.... good luck with that

 

I want to buy only domain if you are interested then pm me.

 

Websites are usually valued at 12x monthly revenue. Some sites can get up to 20x monthly revenue if your lucky. At $1500 the forum must be making about $120 / month (120x12 = $1440)

 

$1,500 is way too much, The only thing premium about this forum is the domain and that has only been used once in 2009 as a phpbb install.

XenForo only costs $140, The theme appears to be nulled as the copyright link has been removed. I happen to own the same skin by Audentio and it has a coded copyright url which you have removed. (Audentio charges $50 for copyright removal.) Have you got proof you have paid for copyright removal or is this in fact a nulled design? If so it should be removed before selling.

Other then the domain and XenForo I really see no value. Even my forum with 1K posts and a custom design/premium 15 year old domain wouldn't reach $500 and that's pushing it. I've bought webmaster forums for $1000 with 5K members and 50K threads. Even paid $164 for a forum with 18,000 members and a million posts including all licenses.

I would suggest holding onto it and grow it more before deciding to sell.

 

Please stop trashing and speak when you know crap about what you say.

XenForo costs $140. The theme isn't nulled. We've adjusted the damn theme. The copyright seems to be at the bottom left. Take a look before speaking

1K posts isn't much. We had that before our move to XenForo. Custom designs start really cheap and go up to $500-3000 (I know Audentio charges around $2000 for a premium custom forum design). So... Depends on your custom theme. 1K posts for $500 is really pushing it. But you fail to be a proper webmaster if you think current posts are the only potential.

You under paid, or all the posts were fake and members were spambots.

The real world isn't what you think it is.

Sale closed. I want to continue it. PM me if you have a good offer, but there isn't much chance I'll accept.

 

Firstly, You have broken the terms of the Audentio license by removing the hyperlink to their website. That is copyright removal and since you were rude I am reporting you to Audentio. What you have done is a breach of license agreement, copyright removal is $50 meaning you have pretty much nulled the theme even though you paid.



I also know how much custom designs cost, I have design costing upwards of $5000 sitting on my hardrive unused for vBulletin 3.

The website I bought was in fact not full of spammbots I happened to have been a member for 2 years before the owner had issue and sold it to me.
A website with this amount of posts would be hard to sell for $500, Full stop. your domain and the licenses (minus the one you have breached the license terms off.) still comes under that value.

Anyway, I would suggest being less of an ass, I might seem to be noob here but I happen to have been staff of some of the largest webmaster forums around, even being the co-owner of 50% of them so be nicer to members. I also joined here in 2010, you joined in 2014..

 

LOL you think I give a fuck. Mind your own business and calm the fuck down.

>vBulletin 3. I'd rather use PHPBB

That's what you think. I can sell the domain easily for thousands alone. I've had offers about it too, just none go up to what I was hoping for. My hopes were unrealistic though anyway. And what I do with it is none of your business either.

I act the same way people act to me. I feel you're being an ass, you have nothing to do with anything I do.

I didn't say you were, and in the case you were, I wouldn't act any different.

Right now you're implying being staff on a forum means you're smart in the topic. If I say I'm staff on MLG Gaming, does that mean I'm one of the best gamers? No, it doesn't. I'm staff on Microsoft Community Forums (I don't even know if that exists). Am I a tech expert? Nope.

If I had the money I could buy out ownership for some of the biggest companies, and I don't even need to know how to spell Hello for that, never mind any experience.

LOL I'm so done. You think registration date matters? I'm not really here to chat. We all come to forums for different reasons, and honestly, Digital Point is great but it's not for my sorta topic. I'm not really into talking about webmaster stuff and the lot. Not my sorta discussion.

BTW, in that case, you have 7 posts, I have 12. Get on my level irl.

Thanks.

 

All he is trying to do is help you with the sale. At $1500 its way overpriced. Nulled script, dead forum, no revenue or traffic all for $1,500?

 

Sounds like a certain little girl has her panties in a bunch, I wasn't an ass in my original post, I helped you out. I never once said anything bad but you come back being rude.

Are you 12 years old or something? No wonder nobody is interested in buying you site, you start cursing at them when they speak the truth and even say it's best to hold onto the site and grow it.

Domains can sell for thousands yes, But you will be lucky to sell this for that, there's a thing called a recession going on and nobody has money to spend.

As for claiming? I was but i'm not going to show proof to that as this is about your site, As for 7 posts here? I just never had interest to be active here on DP as I hated vBulletin 4 which DP used at that time.

All I claimed was I happen to know what domains are worth, I used to resell domains as a hobby, that means I have an idea.

At the end of the day XenForo is $140, The theme you have broken the terms of is $30 and the domain cost $10 to start that is $180, It doesn't matter if it's a premium domain it's the fact on how it was used. If you wish to be smart and claim it's aged then fine, The domain was registered in 2004, It was last updated in 2014 and is valid to 2017.

Domains cost an average of $10/year meaning this domain has cost $150 (roughly) in it's lifetime, Include the XenForo which is $140 and the theme of $30 that's $320.

But you will claim hosting costs too, Gamingforums.net is using cloudflare, The real IP is 107.191.108.216 this IP is with Ramnode who has VPS plans starting at $3.50/month. There doesn't appear to be any other sites hosted on this IP meaning he very likely uses the base plan but for the hell of it lets use the $7/month plan. The forum has been up since July, That's 4 months hosting making a grand total of $348.


You moaned about buying the UI.X design also on XenForo's forum https://xenforo.com/community/threads/gamingforums-net-feedback-please.82173/

Just looking at you responses to interested parties above shows you have no clue how to be a webmaster.

Once again I suggest you hold onto it and grow the forum, I also suggest washing your mouth out with soap since there's so much foal language coming from it.

Have a good day.

EDIT: New theme? Add another $35 onto the original $348 so let's call it $383 now. I'll offer you $450 for all and a bar of chocolate since you act like a child, deal?
