Selling Forum Hour

[pandaa]

Hello there,

As much as I regret to say this, I'm listing Forum Hour for sale. I've had a great run with it, but I feel as though it's time to focus on other things (like my schoolwork, which is currently lagging behind).

What You Are Getting:

• A database with over 26,000 posts, 3,000 threads, and 250+ real users.
• ForumHour.com, .net, .org, and .info are all included. .info is currently being used to serve the images, some JavaScript, and CSS. All domains are registered via Namecheap.
• This comes with two themes. Our current theme, 1Point6, has been tweaked around a little bit to be more user friendly. It's also going to come with an Audentio theme, Sky, which we're in the process of customizing. It won't be any huge changes, just some new icons, a logo, and CSS gradients and such.
• Three custom scripts written by NaXuh, which must remain with the site.
• Our dedicated staff teams. We currently have two members on the Moderation Team, two on the Design Team, two on the Review Team, and two admins. Whether or not you choose to keep any of these staff members on the staff team is entirely up to you.
• Access to the Forum Hour Twitter account, which currently has around 370 tweets, and around 160 followers. You'll also get access to the Facebook account, which isn't very active, unfortunately.
• Access to the ForumHour.com and ForumHour.info hosting accounts. The .com is hosted with Hawk Host, and is paid up until the middle of February. The .info is hosted with Believe Hosting on a custom plan.
• Access to the ForumHour.com CloudFlare account, which is already set up and fined tuned to maximize speed.
• Access to the Forum Hour PublicityClerks account, which has a small balance of $7.50 in it.
• All promotional banners and rights to use them. (they're all hosted on the server anyway)

Statistics:

Here's a screenshot from the last full month from Google Analytics.

What I'm Looking For:

I'm only looking for serious offers. Please don't offer FP cash, I will only take USD over PayPal.

Bidding starts at $50.

Thank you for your interest, and I look forward to working with any potential buyers. 🙂

I'm definitely interested in this. Do you have a range? What are the accepted payment methods?

I'm currently considering all offers. I should add that to the OP, but I prefer PayPal. 🙂

It may help to have a little knowledge of MyBB. Its not complicated at all though, I'm sure you would get the hang of the software quickly 🙂

It is sad to know FH is being sold. I would take it up and keep it running but I don't have the money at this time. I don't get paid till the end of the month 🙁 I would buy it or do anything to get it though.

I'm going to add a starting bid to the OP. Let's start at $50, sorry.
And what Eternal said. MyBB is a lot easier than phpBB to use. 🙂

Thanks for the kind words Alucard, that's a shame. 🙁

Anyways, it's a shame for FH to lose such a cool admin like you mate.

Any reasons why you're selling?
Also, will you stay as a forum administrator once the forum gets a new owner?

I need more time to focus on my life's priorities, like school and work. And that is entirely up to the buyer, I wouldn't mind either way. 🙂

😕 Anyways, good luck for selling the forum pandaa.

The current bid is: $80.

 

[Deleted member 8254]

Hope you change your decision and run the forum with a trusted friend as co-admin 🙂

Uhhhhh , wish you decided to sell this after Christmas. I would have put a $100 bid in but this time of year my money is going into gifts (and fuel)

Often a change in ownership means the end of a successful forum. I hope this doesn't apply to this wonderful project of yours Pandaa.

This is worth 150 I think or something. I'm very bad at knowing how much something is worth.


Best of luck with selling.
