    I have a website called fkn0wned.com its a cheat site, I never put ads on it, I dont make any income from it because thats just not me. I was wondering if I should sell it or not, it gets about 200-300 new members a day, has over 100,000 members and the database has never been sold or anything. I dont know if I should sell the site to someone who can improve its look and traffic or keep working on it on the side. What do you guys think? How much could a site like mine sell for? PM me your guess

    I think you should work on it, and not sell it yet. You should monetize it first with Adsense, ZangoCash or Adbrite.

    Yeah you should totally stick some adsense on there - it might not be you but for the sake of a couple of hours work you should 'just do it' and then forget about it... with those sort of numbers it should at least pay for itself so you can concentrate on other projects :)

    What sort of unique visitors are you getting on a daily basis?

    If the site is growing by 200-300 members per day and has over 100,000 members already, why would anyone think thst it is dead and/or ready to die? Sounds like an untapped source of great marketing potential (i.e., revenues) to me.

    100,000 users? You could make a fortune by sending a weekly newsletter to them...

    I was also a previous staff member on fkn0wned.com
    Until Jason_Complex (better known as Tuxified at the site) decided he wanted to profit off it. He was scamming everyone, including his most loyal followers and friends.

    His site doesn't get 200-300 members a day, it gets 200-300 leechers a day. The leechers take what they want and leave. All the active members formed there own site, www.thec0re.net and we have been thriving off of fkn0wned.com's once active member base.
    Any questions?
    Sign up and ask me yourself, I am under the alias "Industry" and I am a Super Moderator at thec0re.net


    Jason_Complex's site is worth nothing to anyone, unless you want the database which was stolen by another very very previous member quite awhile ago.
    Tuxified is a scam artist finally beat at his own game.
