    Here is your chance to take over a great Darkside Website.


    History:

    The DarkSide was created in 1997. The objective was to create a community for fans of the darkside. The website has loyal members and forum.

    The activity

    Members: 214
    Threads: 619
    Posts: 29,483

    These are some long term members since the beginning.
    Moderated by two members who volunteered



    Website Software

    Leased Licensed Vbulletin Forum (July 2007)
    Older PHPBB Forum
    Wordpress Blog
    Drupal Community


    Revenue

    Within the past year or two the site has not been monetized at all really. The past year I’ve added Google Adsense to the main pages, never to the forum. When I upgraded the forum to Vbulletin the revenue increased. It has a lot of potential for revenue for anyone who attempts.


    Adsense - $48 (Total)
    MaxBounty Ads
    CJ
    Kontera

    Stats

    I have attached stats of the traffic during this year.

    uniques: 1700+ (average 4 months)
    pageviews: 30,000+
    pr: 2


    Money Spent

    VB Leased License – 80
    Drupal Installation & Customization – 125
    Blog Installation & Customization – 75
    Design – 50
    PHBB2 conversion to VB + Mods – 100

    Total = 430

    Reason For Selling

    I just don’t have time to develop and put more time into. Plus I have other new and big projects to attend to. The good thing is the group wants to grow the forum and actually thinking of ways to add to the site. There is a topic in the forum about that.

    Any reason you didn't import the phpbb forum into the main one?

    I'll start you at $100

    Ah okay - I guess the phpbb forum member count has been left to inflate with spam bots. (the link from the sub-pages still link to the old forum).

    Inflate no.. I was told not to remove it by the programmer. I have no clue but i would like to delete.

    The count which is stated in the post is from the vbullentin boarch which is spam free!
