What on earth would possess someone to pay Lance $300 for this? He's probably just tired of paying the $5 domain renewal and figures one of you suckers will actually think you can do something useful/profitable with it.

why don't all 3 of you buy it together? think about it. cmac can do all the html and whatever stuff needs to be done on that end hartmann can do all the advanced stuff or come up with new ideas to add to the website zach (since he's the most active probably) can run the forums and be admin to that side. everyone wins and its only $100 a piece. +2 -------------------- Don't sweat the petty, pet the sweaty.

I'm not interested in buying the site, but I do offer my services as an additional forum admin if the forums grow enough to warrant it.

isn't that how rar came tumbling down? true, but maybe they can learn from their mistake. i think all of them were kinda friends that hung out, and then had disagreements and what not. i dont think that would be the case with these other guys. hartmann used to be in all of it, so i'm sure he has a lot of info and ideas on that. even if he buys it totally, he could use cmac and zach for day-to-day updates, modding, etc. since he seems to be kinda busy. -------------------- ![]() |

I forgot, who were the RAR owners? Me Lance Charles Austin Ryan (Slim) I would be all for letting cmac do some design for the site, Zach doing the day to day running of the boards, and Spectatrix helping. The biggest thing that would change is probably some more rules so that the content is actually something that college kids would want to take part in. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

Well, I haven't logged in since forever and I haven't even checked on the site in weeks. I'm not motivated enough to work on the site to improve it, plus I have way to many other side projects which are higher priorities. Given all of this I might as well transfer it to someone who is motivated to improve the site and will actually do something with it to improve features and traffic. I like the idea of multiple people taking control and ownership. Once everyone pays I'll transfer the domain to whoever and then you guys can get your own hosting account etc. I'll also give you the login to the account on Invisions website which holds the license for the IPB forum software so you can always get the latest version. Everyone paid 250 way back in the day through donations to get a license. Who knows though, the new owners might convert it to phpBB or something. If I buy it, I'd like a database backup as well. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

how much is your hosting a month? and how much bandwith are we using here?
oh, and about how many visitors does this site actually get? This post has been edited by cmac: Apr 22 2009, 10:34 AM -------------------- Don't sweat the petty, pet the sweaty.
