Large 50,000+ Post vB Sports Forum - Over 1,000 Members - $500 Start - 48 Hours!

I have been the owner of SportsAddicted.net for quite some time now. I have grown very attached to it, and have spent countless hours tweaking it to perfection. SA has a long and awkward history, but we're here right now with over 50,000 posts and over 1,000 loyal members.

SA was originally merged with another sports forum that I purchased exclusive rights to. I still have the IPB version of the database, and is included with the sale if buyer is interested.

2 days ago, the forum was 'hacked' by a demoted administrator who got access to a super mod's account. He deleted the posts of 4 major forums. After working over 9 hours straight trying to restore backup after backup, the best we could get (me and my server provider) was an old version of the forum, just before the merge of the second database (that I purchased). The stats for SportsAddicted.net was originally 141,980 posts, and 2,400 members. This still can be achieved if you import the second database and merge the forums again (I paid Brandon from vBulletinsetup.com $75 to have this done - http://forum.vbulletinsetup.com/f48/sportsaddicted-net-2945.html).

Anyways, after threatening this corrupt admin with legal actions, he agreed to the terms that he will close his own sports forum, post a public apology, and work to get the forum to it's status before this incident (11 members and 30 guests online). I have deleted all staff and admin members off of the forum. Feel free to recruit new ones from, or outside of the forums.

Enough of the history lesson. Lets get to the point. SportsAddicted.net features a very nice custom homepage design, which I paid $375 to have designed and coded. Also included are 3 custom 650-850 word articles specially written for SA.

Traffic
Site is receiving an average of 130 unique visitors per day. Most traffic coming from partner sites and livetv.ws advertisement (will include free for 1 month).

Revenue
Site does not have any advertisements. Site is pending a $40/month banner advertiser who is getting his banner made at the moment. It will be up by the end of this week. SA used to have google adsense ads for guests only (home page only), but it only earned $0.10-$0.50/day. I, unfortunately, do not have stats to back this up.

Starting Bid: $500
Reserve: None
BIN: $2000

"Site is receiving an average of 130 unique visitors per day. Most traffic coming from partner sites and livetv.ws advertisement (will include free for 1 month)."

50000 posts and:
-only 130 unique visitors a day
-no pagerank.
-site is only two months old

This prompts a question: you said that these 50000 posts are from this forum alone (since the second database has been excluded); 50000 posts in 60 days => more than 800 posts a day, on around 100 unique visitors, and at the beginning of the existence of the forum.

Also, forums are filled with very old messages (from 2006); how is it possible since the website is 2 month old ? Why aren't there any message dated after June or so ?

 

No no, site is not 2 months old. The website was under 'SportsAddicted.com' before the domain name was lost. I have the AIM of the owner, but he never replies to my 'Hi's, 'Hey's, and 'Hello's. The first day of SportsAddicted was 03-10-2006.

Thank you,
Donny

 

Just added one more article to the custom content stash:

Remember, that this auction is priced for bids (hence the lower starting bid). I have no problem keeping the site and further developing it .

Thank You,

my bid is 550
