[entwisi]

OK, I've had a few PMs about this site for sale so to save myself typing it all again here it is.

Its a forum running SMF forum software. Its up to date as in the latest release. Running a site like this will take some cash (Hosting fees and bandwidth dependant use) but shouldn't be excessive to start with. You can get some revenue back from click throughs on Google ads but I doubt it will ever be totally self funding and certainly not an 'investment'


To continue running it you have two options. As its heavily modded you can just keep applying the core security patches and you'll be fine. This is a simple task. IF however a patch is not compatible with something that has been modded then you may have a problem depending on your ability to code in PHP. The second option is strictly for those who can code PHP. That is you take on a reasoably mature bit of code and take it to where you want it to go. This is extremely time consuming to do properly

Do I think its worth it? Sorry Suze but NO I don't. The time you have spent doing all these mods unfortunately will never translate into returns. It has a massive established competitor in Accyweb and looking around its the same people on both sites (Look at the most prolific posters, they are pretty much all from here) and its only 5K posts in its life is not what I would call established.


If your bored, have £200 to throw away and want something to pass time learning PHP etc then its your money do what you like. You should ask yourself what you would do if you make a mess of the codebase and don't have the skills to bring it back. You will quickly burn another 250 quid paying someone who does have a clue to sort it out.

This is the first time I'll ever put this on a post
