    Syed, I am sorry to see you go, but happy for you. Your directory and your templates have been an inspiration for all in the directory world. Your education is the most important thing, so good luck with your studies and if your success in the directory world is in any way an indication of future success then the medical community better look out! - Good luck!

    I'm going to be the lone voice here in a chorus of support.

    As a doctor who now owns a directory i'm the opposite way around.

    I've made millions from the internet but relatively little from medicine.

    If your clever enough to do well in medicine you will have a better life elsewhere.

    Medicine is demanding, arrogant, beurocratic and bad for your life.

    Make sure you have put more thought into your decision than i did.

    P.S. I'm assuming your in the states....I'm not so I dont understand the system. But i'm relatively sure you have zero chance of becoming a neurosurgeon in 12 years. Give yourself twenty years, all going according to plan. I haven't ever heard of anyone getting there in 12.

    Goodluck selling your site.

    From my own experience: Of everything you thought your life was going to be I think only 15% will ever be true.

    He has showed that has a talent, I think he has a good chance of having his dream come true. He will never know unless he tries. It's always good to have a backup plan.

    But I have to agree that a directory will be a distraction for him and best option is to pay 100% of his energy to his studies.

    thanks alot this is all i was thinking. Dr. Fuzzy you probably do know more than me as experience is the best teacher. I have taken this step after alot of thinking and i am pretty sure it is going to work out. 12 years is an approximate time. I am sure you haven't heard of it, but you dont hear a 16 year old in college that often either.


    to those who are concerned about the bidding, bidding is going on sitepoint with current bid of 15,000$ at this point reserve is not met and several people have been inquiring about this via email and private messages.

    smub I think that if it does not reach the selling price I will study to be a neuro-surgeon to find out why the price was not met ;)

    Keep on pushing Syed you are doing a top job there :)

    Good Luck Smub

    You have got a great directory and I have seen it almost every where which shows the level of promotion you have put into it. I am sure you get the price you want.

    Wish you good luck with the sale and for studies. :)

    I am shocked. You are a vip in this directory business mate.At least take your laptop with you and say hello in the dp! once a week.Don't get lost in the crowd. And Good Luck with your studies (which is more important than anything). I hope you get what you want at the end, for both your directory auction and you studies.

    Looks like the two bids posted are from members with 0 posts - Seller beware, Sitepoint has a lot of issues with false bidding with their new system.

    Shame as it was once THE best marketplace.

    Good luck with you sale smub, I am in the same boat but am trying to finish school to go to graduate school. I understand your workload :)

    Some people register to sitepoint forums for the marketplace only. Thats why they have no posts ;)

    Always ask for proof of funds or something to proove they are for real. Proper bidders will answer any questions the seller has.

    It's not often a directory of quality comes up for sale. It's a bit out of my price range but all the best with the sale.

    Will keep an eye on the sale to see how it goes.
