    Waushare.com

    What a time what a time..! I loved running it
    Code (markup):
    I has been my proud for years! I didnt knew much about the internet 4 years ago and
    I thought it would be fun running a forum so I asked a friend and he showed me how
    to work with a phpbb forum. From there I only got better. From phpbb with a subdomain
    to vbulletin with a real domain. Waushare started as a gaming forum under the name TBOG
    and from there I added downloads and turned it into waushare. This was about 3/5 years ago
    maybe longer. Now the site still contains the downloads but in a legal way, but it basicly turned
    into a general forum. Waushare is a famous board with alot of members and great hits for a forum.
    Its a great place to hang online and being part of a friendly cummunity.

    
    The reason im selling it?
    Code (markup):
    Its asking time to run a forum like this, but my personal life comes on the first place, and it hasnt
    been the best lately. So im getting the feeling I need to end it and give it over to someone that can
    put more effort in it and time!
    
    How old is the site?
    Code (markup):
    4 years +

    Was it originally yours?
    Code (markup):
    Yes

    Did you buy this site?
    Code (markup):
    No


    How much traffic do you get?
    Code (markup):
    Take a look at my forum its up and running and you can get the idea what traffic its getting
    http://www.waushare.com

    How much traffic do you get from the US?
    Code (markup):
    50% our more

    What scripts is it running?
    Code (markup):
    Vbulletin.com Im not selling the license with it!!
    ( and you need one to run this board )

    How much does your hosting cost?
    Code (markup):
    Waushare is on my server its not using much space
    250 mb would be enough and with 100gig BW monthly you are all the way so make the count

    What's the income?
    Code (markup):
    300/400/500 $ It really depends on the month.. The money gets made with donations! Mainly VIP donations. And
    I have a place where people can buy a banner on waushare for 10$ a week and this gets bought alot. But there are
    so many more opportunities to make money with this forum!


    What ad networks do you use?
    Code (markup):
    Non..

    Do you have a Google Adsene account?
    Code (markup):
    No, google does not allow the site content.


    A little show of the Income:
    Code (markup):
    [​IMG]



    The payment?

    I have some STRICT rules for this.. There happen alot of scams on the internet.
    The payment has to be made with a check our a different secure method.. Im not
    looking for a quik sale I have the time. Another important thing is that I keep
    the domain until I got the money. The reason for this is that I dont want to
    end up giving my site away. I can provide you full prove im the owner. Name
    Adres etc whatever is needed I can show a picture of my namecheap account
    with the domain in there. Im not changing these rules so you can accpt it our not.


    What am I asking for the site?
    400$ is the monthly income * 12 months = 4800$ is about the yearly income
    But since i have been running this site for years Thats not enough to get it sold


    So the bidding starts at 5000$

    And the BIN will be set once I got a couple of good OFFERS.
    The BIN won't be lower then 10 000.

    START BIDDING, and goodluck !

    You can PM me our just add me to your msn


    PS im also selling this site on

    How much are VIP donations and what does that buy them? If I buy your forum, do I have to honor those VIP donations?

    10% turn around on signed up to active not bad.

    On the forum threads though have a question.

    Whats the deal on the warez topic area? Where is the site currently hosted? and how well does that/ or not with US laws.

    has this site ever been dropped from server/hosting/domain.


    Thanks,
    Theodore Gaushas

    The Warez Area becomes visible after members make 15+ posts! The website is hosted on my dedicated server in the US.. The forum is also running under a vbulletin license. I had a report from adobe once and they asked me to remove a photoshop post and thats what I did. Now I havent heard from then since.

    The domain has never been dropped. But from hosting it has, the reasons for this where our I moved because of the bad support our uptime,speed our hosting didnt liked the content of my site.

    But everyday there are coming more hosts online that dont mind the content anymore.


    And to sanjay369

    Vip Donations are 5$ (for 2 months) 10$(for 4 months) our 25$(for 1 year)

    It buys them acces to new sections on the board, a coloured username more pm space etc And its a donation to keep the site running. Vbulletin has a system that upgraded there account once the payment it sent.

    Thanks

    Waushare is a notorious WAREZ forum and over the past year has been shut down 3 times that I can count.

    You seem to have forgotten to mention that so I'm helping.

    Check the VIP section:

    Stolen template monsters
    Stolen Boxed art
    Pirated Movies and apps.

    Thanks for the negative comment! I would like to response on your comment.

    Waushare has not been shutdown.. We have had several hosting problams some have been because of the content. If you find your way in this The forum is amazing to run. I probebly had less hosting problams then you with your sites..

    Your only looking at the dark site. Warez is not illegal. Downloading isnt either.. Waushare has been up and running smooth the last paste months and its a great community.

    Pirates movies? Im sure you download a movie once and a while Im sure you didnt payed 800$ just for photoshop. 80% of the people uses it. Its a great market and its still tolerated!

    And I really don't see a point in you trying to ruin this sale our whatever your trying to do. I dont know you and im sure I havent done anything to make you do this. Some yogo would do you good

    And to yourihost
    We have a policy that we remove your links from our site If you dont give have something against it. Same thing happended with Adobe we got a mail and we made sure Adobe wouldnt be posted again. There might be some people that still do it but where trying to keep it clean.

    Im not saying you need to buy it Im listing it for sale and if anyone is interested in running this site in a good way! It has loads of opportunities its a great buy for the right guy.

    Thanks and have a nice day
