    I don't remember selling you the database for creativeassets.net

    Can I ask who you bought it from?

    I sold that site to precharge and have no idea how you got the database.

    skribblez, does this mean these forums are not actually alive? just a database dump with a design?

    I have no idea to be honest, but one thing I know for sure is that I never sold him the database dump for creativeassets.net

    If anyone is interested in creative-assets.net, please reconsider making an offer. I never sold donny the database dump for creativeassets.net, or for that matter, the right to use it.

    Waiting for a response from donny.

    It seems logical, as the site hasn't been indexed in google, even the homepage.

    Hi,

    Here's a little history of creative-assets.net:

    Neil owned the database of the site, and he sold this to a member on sitepoint with the username 'precharge'. I'm currently working this problem out with precharge. Somewhere between Neil's transaction and the second of September, someone got their hands on the database. Maybe precharge sold it again? I'm not sure. All I know is that when I bought the site, the email was still Neil's and the last post was somewhere in the middle of August.

    Anyways, I was looking for large forums a while back, and a member off of NamePros added me on MSN offering me a database of over 70,000 posts. According to this person, there was some bidding going on for this database, sold I BINed it at $xxx. Anyways, before paying, she (or he. I'm 75% sure its a she) let me test the database out and restored it onto an IPB forum on my server. After seeing it's legit with the right amount of posts and everything, I paid.

    Another thing is that when I made my 'new admin intro', a member told me that this forum have been up and down for a long time, and ownership was always changing. I'm guessing that Neil didn't own the forum from the start, or maybe precharge sold it? I have no clue.

    I'll keep everyone updated. All other forums are legit. It's not like I'm forging the traffic and amount of activity. The stats are posted right there.

    I will keep everyone updated. Please PM me with questions please.

    Thank You,
    Donny

    All these sites (other than WightForum.com and ZetaBoardads.com), I bought just recently. Lisps.net was bought just recently and the ads haven't been changed to mine yet.

    Thank You,

    Hi,

    I'm not sure. I'll be sure to ask. Although I'm sure it's $xxx/month. I don't remember exactly she said it was.

    Thank You,
    Donny

    It has been resoved (partly). Seems like I purchased an illegal copy of the site. Anyways, I'll let PayPal handle it. Thanks for your help precharge and Neil :).

    WightForum.com has been SOLD.
