    Not to disappoint you, but 750$ for a spammy forum is a bit high.
    Also if you can put some effort in removing the dirty content, you could sell the site for a higher price.
    If you are familiar with moderation, then you could easily remove the filthy posts. while you are banning a user, it will ask, whether to remove all the posts by the user, just click on Okay.
    All the spam content will be removed and your forum will be clean. So that you can ask for a higher price.

    I doubt the site sold. Noone wants to clean up someone else's mess, so, unsurprisingly the site is now expired and down the drain lol.

    PRICE DROP! :eek:

    I need to get rid of this site. It needs to go to a good home, to a good & dedicated owner, who can himself moderate or find moderators to clean up the forum.

    I've owned this site for like a year and have done absolutely nothing with it. It has over 5,000 legit users and about 10,000 or so legit posts. It has been getting spam like crazy and I personally can't maintain it due to medical problems (my back is broken) as well as other Internet ventures I'm getting into. I paid $500 for the domain alone. It was a silent deal through Escrow. I'm taking a huge loss on this for the domain, the site, and the IPB license. It's whatever, buy this before I change my mind. This site has huge potential, a great name, and it's a great start. Already has a PageRank and is indexed, has users that will come back and post with a little incentive. Let my loss be your gain. Be smart and take this investment.


    Up for sale is the site & domain PCWebTalk.com

    I bought the domain and site seperate from each other and never got around to doing anything with the site once I combined the two into one. I always wanted to create and have my own PC forum where people could help each other with their PC problems, brag about their builds, etc, but never got the time to develop it further once I set it up. Unfortunately, I still don't have the time, so I'm considering selling this site as it is if the price is right. This is honestly a great opportunity for anyone to take advantage of - it's a high-paying PPC niche, it's a niche that will never die, and a field (IT - Information Technology) that is constantly booming even in a downfallen economy.

    This price is a bargain because:
    1. The domain included with this sale that really creates this site - PCWebTalk.com - is a gem. It's a premium combination, ideally great for its use, and memorable. I paid $500 for this domain through Escrow to a private seller.
    2. As previously mentioned, I created this site from a previously-existing site after purchasing the domain. Actually once I saw the original site for sale is what triggered me to buy such a premium domain in the first place. Anyway, the site cost me $350, and is unique to this site (I let go of the previous domain and everything attached to it altogether).

    I will only accept payment via PayPal & Escrow. PayPal will only be accepted to members who have an oustanding reputation here, Escrow is the preferred method of payment.

    This sale is only for seriously interested individuals and companies that see this opportunity for what it is, and for what it's worth. To me, this is a gem and worth a lot more. Everything about this site, the domain, and its unique design as well as uniquely-coded homepage is more valuable than gold to me. If you're looking to get back on your feet, start making money online, or something similar of the sort, you may want to think of investing the small amount that I'm asking for into this site - this site can easily get booming once further developed and promoted. It's ready to go as it is.

    As for the IPB license, I don't think I can transfer it as it's already been transferred to me, but you can request a license from IPB (which is the software that powers the forum) at a low price by asking them for a discount - that's a secret I'll freely provide to the public (anyone & everyone reading this).

    Right now, there is a lot of activity, but the activity is from both seriously interested users but also spammers. I can't maintain the site so there is a lot of spam posted! :( Getting this off the ground will be easy. It already ranks will with Google. It just needs a real forum administrator and maybe some moderators. Let my loss in this sale be your gain. See what you can do with it. It's not just potential, it's reality - I am just letting the site sit here and waste and let it get spammed. It has serious members register and post daily. The spam needs to be cleaned up. This site needs a real owner and a real home. Make this investment today and you won't be sorry. I bought the domain for more than I am asking for this site!

    Site has a Google PageRank of 1. Homepage is completely custom and awesome. Site needs a good owner that won't let it sit like I do!

    Can you send me the traffic stats please.

    How many posts do you get on average a day besides the spam?

    Also, you should clean up the forum. It's just a suggestion.

    Holy crap, I didn't know that the site was receiving this much traffic. Here are screenshots. Site is using 10GB of bandwidth a month, and receives well over 1,000 unique visitors daily. If this doesn't sell soon, I'm revoking this sale. PM or reply to BIN. Thank you.

    Based on the Alexa, receiving 1000 UV a day is highly unlikely so I question the validity of that. In addition, I'm concerned the majority of it may be spam based on this: [​IMG]
    When is the last time you have done any active moderation on this forum at all? Thanks, may be interested.

    Please don't ever question my authenticity. I have a dedicated server and the stats are legit. I am starting to monetize this now with AdSense which I didn't have on it before. Spam or not, it's still traffic. I have no time to do anything with this forum. Traffic stats were provided above. You can also see currently active users, there's always a lot on. Also, don't reply with your BS in this thread if you don't have anything legit to say.

    All traffic is from spam = Bots = no real visitor = no adsense click

    Adsense on viagra and sex content- in return adsense account block in one day
    delete all content and moderate spam- no traffic

    BEST OF LUCK WITH YOUR DREAM

    Dude, you need to get banned. My site has real traffic. You're an idiot and don't know crap. I'm already making money. It gets traffic from major search engines.

    I am only now accepting $500 for this site. Reporting you and this thread to be closed. Stay out of my thread troll, just because you didn't get it for $100.

    You are %%%%%% Mind you language, you dont know how to talk to buyers, what you think you fool? i have around 150 sites and 3 of them are forums [which are not launched yesterday nor spammed and they are running by professional staff's]

    I know real price of your site, i offer you $100 just for your domain

    I was just posted my opinion after your silly post to show how valuable your crap site is [ask any genuine buyer] because i thought other members also deserve to know that

    I am staying away from your silly sales thread but next time be gentlemen when you are talking about me

    Well i think your wrong and that we have every right to question your authenticity!!!

    1, You have not provided proof of ownership: http://screensnapr.com/v/tddmRF.png

    2, You have not provided proof of Registrant of the Domain.

    So i would also question your authenticity and say why you didn't you provide this information? and with over 6.000 posts to your name you should know that this info is required when selling.

    So i agree with Brandon93s 1++
