    I have decided to sell my established gaming/cheating forum.
    I simply have lost interest in its development, forum activity isn't as good as it used to be, and I don't have the time to promote it.

    SITE - http://gamingire.com
    BORN - November 22, 2009
    DESCRIPTION - "A forum dedicated to helping you in games such as neopets, gaiaonline, maplestory, runescape, and subeta! We provide you with many cheats, hints, guides, and walkthroughs!"
    MORE: PR2 Domain, purchased at namecheap
    FORUM STATS: Threads: 2,988, Posts: 31,529, Members: 1,669, Active Members: 188 (see screenshots for more stats)
    ANALYTICS STATS SCREENSHOT: http://gamingire.com/forum/analytics.jpg
    VBULLETIN STATS SCREENSHOT: http://gamingire.com/forum/vbulletin.jpg

    Even though the forum may seem dead, the other day April 18th the members made a total of 140 posts, the next day April 19th they made 150 posts, but the day after back down to around 75 posts. (so some days have high activity, others days have low activity).

    The staff team is very dedicated and active, and they will most likely be willing to stay and help get the forum active again (I will confirm with them before the forum is sold).

    I have never used Adsense or any other ad service on the site so I can't determine how much revenue it can make.

    Forum traffic mostly comes from google, word of mouth, and youtube (a member who left a while ago made some videos that became pretty popular and they linked to our site, it is not my youtube account so there is no guarantee he will keep the videos up. He hasn't visited back in some time but the videos are still up).

    VBULLETIN LICENSE DOES NOT COME WITH SALE!

    At one point the forum was making on average around 600 posts daily (in fact one day over 1000), however that has tremendously dropped.

    PAYMENT WILL BE MADE THROUGH PAYPAL OR MONEYBOOKERS!

    This forum has tons of potential!
    See the stats in attachment.. ​

    I'd be willing to bin the site if you include the VB license.

    My vbulletin license expired so there aren't any more updates available for it and it would be thus useless.

    what is your reserve?
    can you tighten this range up, 150-400 ?
    would 200 hit the reserve?

    thanks, very interested in purchasing it and merging with my site. :)

    oh nvm, I see the reserve is listed at 175.

    I've bookmarks the thread, will be watching it.

    good luck with the auction

    Vbulletin has stated this site is running an Illegal copy of VB. Can you prove that this license is owned as the new owner will be getting not only the site but legal troubles as well.

    Yes, I didn't realize until yesterday that my license information was still set up with my old forum. I updated the information and the case is now closed.
    Here are a few screenshots:

    I put the staff of the forums I purchase in our "contributors" group
    Sometimes if the admin is going to be active still, I'll offer a mod spot to them.

    regards
