Want To Buy An Established Forum

    Hello Friends.

    I am looking for a good deal on the purchase of an established forum.

    I can be flexible about the subject matter. I Prefer vBulletin or phpBB forum programs.

    My main prerequisite is that the forum receives natural search engine traffic, and is in a state of growth.

    I would need to see a live stats page. (a URL to your stats file)

    If the forum already produces revenues, please state a figure of those revenues, and the method used.

    I especially desire a forum that makes several hundred dollars per month in some way.

    Any Co-op or Link-Vault credit would appeal to me as well.

    If you are paying people to make posts, let me know this.

    If you have a forum such as this, send me a PM (Private Message) which includes basic information:

    -URL of the site
    -URL of the stats page
    -Monthly revenue figure (if monetized)
    -History of the site

    Hope to hear from sellers,
    ElectronDon

    What's your budget. I have a forum with over 30k members, making $600/month from Adsense.. just one ad unit. It's growing at a rate of 120 new members a day.

    Getting quite a few requests for the URL of the big forum I mentioned about above. Just would like to mention that the asking price is $20,000 for that one. So, if you have the budget and are serious, by all means, make a request for the URL.

    Hey spdude, I hate to tirekick and bug you with a pm, if you said the topic of the forum I'd know right off if I was interested. For example, if it's a 'gaming forum' I wouldn't be too interested. ;)

    Thanks, sounds like an interesting topic but I'm not sure I'm the right guy to take it on. :)

    The site has 10 mods and three admins running it. The growth rate is increasing.. was an avarage of 85 new registered users per day last month. Yesterday was 122, and today it's 115 with an hour to go. If you want, I can PM you the details :)

    Sure, you can pm the details. I'm hesitant to buy a community when I don't know the topic very well though.
