    The transfer will be straight-forward. I will transfer the ownership of our current hosting account to the buyer.

    We are on Dual Xeon 2.8 with 3GB RAM with iweb.ca, the best webhosting in Canada.

    Is there a reason why it doesn't use Adsense? (Because "YPN only" restricts you to selling just to someone in the US)

    I shamelessly admit that I got banned for clicking on my own ads. I was naive. It was 4/5 months ago.

    Are you interested in buying the site?

    I think it's safe to add YPN ads since 75% of the traffic is USA traffic. FYI, the big money doesn't come from either YPN or Adsense. It's from the direct advertisers, like I said in the first post, two bigger similar forums make 40k/month each, one of them doesn't have a single network ads.

    Personally, I would not buy the forum for 30k, maybe (ALOT) lower than that as I have seen forums being sold for 2500 with over 250k members and over 1million posts and 500k- threads. (This was back in 2000).

    If you were to sell that forum, I would recommend you selling it with a better layout to give it a cleaner presentation to a new buyer, think as if you were selling a house or a car, clean it up, make it shine and give it a clean look before pulling it on the market.

    Best of luck to your forum.

    I don't mean to be unconstructive but check out talkgold.com/forum

    They make 40k/month and value at 450k, site's full of ads with no layout "tweaks" at all.

    Well, all my members have been happy with the current layout, I have changed the design/layout 3 times so far and everytime I did it, my members gone mad so I decided that the 3rd time was the last time.

    And of course, if I sell it, it's up to the new buyer to do whatever he/she wants.

    How much was that forum making/month? I doubt anyone would sell a site for a month profit. It just doesn't make sense unless of course, the economy was bad at that time, 2001 was a bad year for everybody and 2000 was the start of a minor recession.

    Regarding the price, I don't know about you, but I personally would rather wait a month. ;)

    Additionally, the site includes licensed vb and vbseo with another 1k worth of custom mods(n/a on vb.org or anywhere else).
    A set of 10 banners will also be included.

    p/s: what's wrong with the layout? I think it's a pretty standard one but if you meant the design, that's something subjective, just like your gf. lol.

    2006 is a different world to 2000. If the forum is active and the revenues stable, then it's basically buying a business for just 12 months revenue.
