Selling of a forums DB

    Hello,

    I listed a forum that I have up for sale and a user PM me telling me he would pay just $100 for the DB.

    This is only a small forum with 2,052 posts in 449 threads.

    He has said he only wants to buy the forum DB and not the site itself, As he wants to merge it with his forum.

    I am able to keep the domain name and the site but must remove the DB from my server etc.

    What are the legalities of this? I am thinking about it but not sure


    Thanks

    Dan

    I'm no attorney but I'd say this is your site and you can sell it however you'd like. The only potential problem with this is that you would need to inform any future buyers of the site that you also sold the database to another party. This may seriously decrease the value of the site as a whole when you try to sell it later.
