Selling Halo Gaming Forum - almost 2,000 members

First off I would like to tell you a little about the history of the site. The site started out as hdhalocapture.com and was a Halo 3 video capturing site. (Basically Halo has a "theater" mode which you can watch clips, if you buy a capture card you can then record the video and send it to the user so they can put it on youtube or whatever).

domain name: just()halo.com (NO "()" in the domain)

About 2 months ago (the age of the domain) we moved to a forum only (we had stopped capturing for about 4 months due to lack of money). The site has since been a halo forum and gets around the same amount of traffic/income.

I am selling the site due to no need and I believe the potential for this site is HUGE! For someone that knows how to market a site, has alot of money, knows a bit about the game Halo (for PC or 360), and wants to make alot, this site is for them.

The potential for this site is huge, over the history of the site I have made over $250 (all google adsense), but currently makes about $15/month. I say the potential is huge because the amount of members, and how big of a name Halo is. The site still gets about 5 new members per day and I have never spent any money on advertsing!

I have a few suggestions on what you could do as the new owner, this is what I would do if I was out of school and had the money to put into this site.
1) Bring back capturing (you can hire a capturer, I did this for a bit), and make it so the users must complete a CPAlead offer or something before they can request. This could make big money considering I captured over 4,000 videos from the begninning of capturing! (imagine if that was $0.50 or even $1!)... you willl probably have to pay a capturer anywhere from $0.25 to $0.50
2) Add a bunch of new pages so the site isnt just a forum, but a full site. You could add capturing, or even just add videos, blog, news/updates with halo, games, ext.
3) You could leave it as is, just spend some money on advertising and bump the amount of users and active users so you start earning more.
4) do your own thing!

I am just giving some examples of how this site could be used. I only want to sell at the right price and to the right person. I want this site to succeed, and not fall down after a month or so.

PLEASE, if interested send me your best offer!

Current Bid: $200

Edit: I will have to double check and look how to move domains from justhost and 1and1.com but I also own the domain hdhalocapture.com and hdhalocaptures.com

if you check out hdhalocapture.com you will see how the site was before the forum (I have had the redirecting since I moved to forum only) Just for now I will not redirct but show the actual files!

 

Why has traffic been trending down the last week? Obvious traffic drop. Very significant too.

 

no real reason. The site more took a major jump which im sure is related to halo reach (the newest version of halo) coming out and me sending mass email to all members. I notice that the site does that here and there. Also alot of members are high school age so traffic can drop during certain times for whatever reason.

Edit: highest bid $220

 

I bid $250

Can't beleive how cheap this is :O. Google Adsense will make that up within 1-2 months with my method....

 

I will bid $260.
