Just out of curiosity, I asked what something like this is worth. This was the reply.
"A forum's value comes from a combination of page views, revenue, and monthly post count, usually going back 24-36 months. Now, I might be stepping out on a limb here, because I'm not sure what your revenue looks like, but I'm guessing we might be talking about something in the range of $30,000 to $60,000. How does that range sound for continuing our discussion?"

I would have assumed a lot more than that but maybe they know James is a member here. Couldn't help myself James

I would rather start sending you a check each year than have you sell it.
I am involved with another forum than was privately owned , then sold I don't blame the guy who sold it he is a bit of a globe trotter. then it went from media company to media company it landed with one
every time is an upheaval of membership and loss of people
it sucks the soul out of a forum.
basically their formula is buy everything on a subject matter , pile on the adds , want fewer adds charge annually , then spend as little time monitoring it and administrating it as possible.
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I'm not a big poster here but I'm on here multiple times a day. That amount seems low. I'd be worried about the intent of the buyer. I hope this site keeps on the way it is. If not I don't know what I'd be looking at when I'm on the internet. I'm being serious Trapperman is over 50% of my time on the internet. Thank you for having this forum. This right here for sure.

I think it’s worth what makes you happy Paul. 1 dollar or 1 million dollars it’s your baby and yours to do with what you want. If and when you’re of a mind to go that direction I hope you get what you want.

Buying or selling, It's worth is entirely up to you, I would have though the offer was low for this forum. Myself, It's the only one I am on, got tired of all the bs on other forums. If it was sold, I think it would get just the same the others, not worth a s#!t.

Eagleye, for my own edification, is there a reason you would go to 10x-15x net yearly profit? I've always heard 4x-5x yearly net profit for a small business, and I'm curious if the higher valuation is based on the fact it's an internet site, or if there is other reasoning. Thank you.
