    Why are you selling this site?
    no time to manage the forum and do not have the interest.

    How is it monetized?
    I sold 1 banner ad across the header area for $150/year (will refund if sold)

    Does this site come with any social media accounts?
    twitter account

    How much time does this site take to run?
    After a few weeks of building links and getting activity it should take 5-20 mins a week.

    What challenges are there with running this site?
    The biggest challenge for me was time and promotion. I do not have the time to promote the forum up.

    Xenforo not included in the sale, dont ask.

    I purchased the forum in July converted it to Xenforo install analytics and started promoting the forum on here, namepros, Forumpromotion, Twitter, TheAdminZone.

    this is the only stats I have before july these are from the previous owner who did not have analytics installed.

    You did not answer my question about the July 1 analytic. Why is it high ?

    Why did you buy a forum 2 weeks ago just to sell it and without interest ?

    For a 10 year old forum, post counts are way to low. I guess the previous owner didn't care much for it. Good luck with the sale.

    He just used it for reviews and kept the spam clean.


    I have decided not to sell and keep the forum until I can get more traffic and flow going.
