    Due to a change in circumstance regarding my other upcoming projects, i'm having to put GamingCrowd.com up for sale.

    Link: http://www.gamingcrowd.com/index.php

    Includes:

    - CCMS Pro License (worth $75)
    - Unique custom designed template and forum skin (cost $100 uncoded)
    - Template integration into CCMS (worth $250-$300)
    - GamingCrowd.com domain name (reg at Namecheap til April 08)

    Please note, you will require a server which has ioncube loaders enabled - most do, but always best to double check with your host

    This is an ideal opportunity for a budding webmaster looking to run their own gaming site like Gamespot.com, with one of the most powerful and feature-full CMS systems on the market, a highly memorable domain name and a unique and professional layout to boot.

    The design was integrated and coded by the actual developer of CCMS, and includes a lot of features not currently in the market version of the script.

    Starting Price: $100
    BIN: $475

    Bid increments of $25

    Paypal only please.


    End date: Midnight GMT - Monday 30th April (or when BIN purchase is made)

    This is an unlaunched site, so no traffic/revenue.

    Hey,

    Thanks for the comments/bid so far; to answer those questions:

    1) CCMS has a very feature-rich and in-depth admin area which is used for the addition of games, reviews, previews, news stories, cheats etc as well as user management and all that jazz. A full list of features, and an admin demo, is available at www.customcms.net

    2) Videos are also added through the admin area, and you can manage your playlist there too. The player only works with flash (flv) files, however you can use Riva FLV Encoder (free) to convert other formats.

    I just checked out the registration on the site, appears there is a problem with it - this will be remedied before the site files are sent to the buyer.

    As noted in the original post, this is an unlaunched site, so no traffic/revenue.

    What you are buying is a ready made, feature-rich and easily managable gaming website; using the most powerful gaming CMS on the market, with a strong domain name and a unique, integrated design (something which, for this CMS, is very dfficult to get your hands on)

    Just a note - i've had BIN offers made up to $350, which I am currently considering. I would be willing to consider any further reduced BIN offers over that amount.

    This, of course, doesn't mean people should stop bidding as those offers could turn out to be baseless; but thought best to give people notice that I could be close to selling at a BIN price

    Great looking site, I wish I had the time to run such a site, otherwise I would've bought it immediately.

    I may be interested as well. Are all parts of the script working completely? Do you have any pre-made content for the various sections at all? Or is it pretty much "what you see, is what you get?"

    The only section of the site which appears to have problems is the registration, which is something that was overlooked when integrating the template into the CMS, and will be fixed prior to the sale.

    There is no content other than the handful of news stories, articles etc that were posted to test out the various functions.

    That's a nice site.

    I really don't have the time to run a site like this, but let me think about.

    How are the articles kept updated? Manually? If so, where do you get them? Do you write them yourself?

    Yes, all content for the site will have to be written by the owner and/or staff.
