    Well, I finally have given up on trying to get this forum to take off. I'm no good at forum administration so I'm going to sell this site off.

    Domain: http://www.firefoxforum.com

    Details:
    The site has a unique design developed by a friend of mine. The vBulletin license is an owned license which was renewed less than 2 weeks ago.

    Stats:
    http://www.firefoxforum.com/sale/firefoxforum/stats/

    Revenue:
    There is no revenue really to speak of for this site. I've never really tried to make any money off of this site although I did recently add google ads which need to be optimized.

    Price:
    Current offer: $550
    BIN: $800

    I have tried to sell this site in the past but I have failed to do so because I did not recieve offers I liked. This time I have recieved and offer of $550 which I will sell the site at. The site will be sold this time around.

    It has potential, but for a brand new forum like this it would take a TON of work. Keep us updated on the buyer. I would be interested but not for that much.

    Good luck Amos. I think you'll get your asking price; it's a sharp looking forum and a continually grow hot topic.

    Good luck!

    Wow - my prediction came true Amos - congrats to you AND to Shoemoney.

    Heck, I'm feeling lucky enough to make a prediction or two or three in Shoemoney's contest now ;)

    I have not heard anything from the seller and it appears the site is being changed (now shows zero posts)

    I am with drawing my bin and going to persue other sites.

    Good Luck!

    I have just now got to a computer to check your bid. I'm not exactly sure what you mean that the site is being changed? The site is still in operating order.

    I have one other seriously interested party. Please let me know if you still would like to withdrawl your bid.

    Not to mention that Firefoxforums.com is using images developed for FirefoxForum.com (the site being sold). I have contacted them and asked them to remove the images as soon as possible. If nothing else happens I will move further with actions against this.

    Thanks again for the intrest everyone.

    Where did you add Adsense ads?...couldn't see them. Is this a situation where forum visitors would be "offended" by revenue generating ads?

    The ads were placed every 5 or so ads I believe in the showthread pages. That's it. I have no idea if the visitors would be "offended" by showing ads. I don't see any reason why they may be though?

    This site will sell to the highest bidder tomorrow at some point.

    Yes, he did make a typo. We talked about it and he said that was the issue before.

    Pending sale at $650 tonight.

    Sounds like a site with a great potential. You should get a lot more than you are asking.

    Thanks for the compliments. I'm selling this site because I just don't have the time to get it going like it needs. I'm aware of the kind of potential it has.
