Selling 10 Year Old Established - PR3 - Music Video Site

    The established PR3 almost 10 year old website has sat stagnant for about 2 years now. The lull in traffic in January is because the site got hacked. I had big plans for it when I originally purchased it, but just didn't have the time to follow through.

    Traffic:

    Revenue: Not monetized.

    Payment: Paypal Masspay only.

    Feel free to ask any questions you might have.

    Hi Stephe,

    A few questions for you.

    1.) When did you pickup this dropped domain ?
    2.) The site goes way back but you're obviously not the original owner, did you purchase the site from Will Brown ? Or just picked up the expired domain ?
    3.) Could you tell me more about the hacking event ?
    4.) Why did you change the whole site from running on asp.net to wordpress ?
    5.) What about the forums ? they don't seem to be up there ?

    Thanks
    Zee

    First, sorry for the delayed reply.

    1) Oct 31, 2009 ± a few days
    2) I bought the domain from a member on these forums; he's not known as Will Brown at least that I know of.
    3) An injection of some sort due to a wordpress bug that basically just redirected the site elsewhere. I didn't notice it for a few weeks at which point it was fixed.
    4) The old theme was well 2000ish.. so it was changed to wordpress for ease of maintaining it and modernizing it.
    5) The forums simply redirect to the main page because a massive amount of bots were signing up, spam was slipping through the filters, and it was largely inactive.
