Forum Chat

We're not selling it, nor do we have any intention of doing so, but what do you think http://forum-chat.tk is worth?

Since it is not a TLD it greatly depletes the value.

The forum also doesn't load for me..so I can't put a price.

It's on zetaboards as well. Maybe $5-$10

The only good thing is the amount of posts but it's worthless really as anyone who wants a real forum can't use it.

Sorry, .tk is having some downtime lately...
If it's down, try http://s4.zetaboards.com/Forum_Chat

Steven, why is ZB a bad thing?

 

[juststeven]

It's a free forum host.

Personally, I wouldn't pay more then $10 for the forum, due to a few reasons.

As Volux said, It has no TLD. Without that, it brings down the value since it shows you haven't put any money into it (as does the free forum host).

Although there is nothing wrong with using ZetaBoards, most people who purchase forums want to be able to host them on their own web servers - not have to stick with a free forum host. 🙂.

Lol..the TLD thing we me who that said that 😉.

I'd pay $5.

Oops, haha. Still waking up here...

Edited and fixed that - sorry about that.

If it had a .com and used ZetaBoards Premium, what would you value it at then?

 

[Spazmatic]

The only thing I would care about is the database, so not much.

I think ZetaBoards is terrible, but with premium and a tld I'd say $20.

 

[NaXuh]

If it had a TLD, I would change my offer to $20-25.

The problem is really ZetaBoards - premium wouldn't change much. I don't know a whole lot about ZetaBoards, but I don't think you can change from ZetaBoards to a self-hosted forum very easily.

Swim, Forum Chat is worth more to me in sentimental value. I never plan to sell, nor will I accept anyone to bid on it. If I'm done with Forum Chat I'll close it. No site will ever be the same once the admins leave. Even with a new one. I don't care what were worth to these guys.

 

[InFiNiTy™]

Meh probably $10 bucks. That's the most I would pay. Like everyone said above, it's on ZetaBoards and I don't really like how they made the layout/themes and it's also on a .tk domain (and .tk domains are known for hacking websites")

I know that. I don't think I know another forum owner that's as dedicated as you. :shock: I was just curious about ZB forum values and wanted to use FC as an example.

 

[Crash-Cheetah]

Alright. I just don't want any bids on it.

Database is decent. If you can move it cheaply then you may get $30 for it, although "general discussion" databases are quite cheap. Main downfall is the fact that it's own ZB which webmasters really don't want to do that extra bit to get the database by itself. At the moment, maybe $10.
