    Lou, is owning the sight something you do for fun or do you make some $$ at it? And if so how much? You can PM me if you want. I'm not interested in buying it i'm just curious.

    The monthly hosting fee for the site is 25.00, other than that there is a fee to keep the web address registered, it is cheap and is already paid for a few years. Every couple of years the vbuelitin software needs upgraded to get all the new features, that was less than 200 last time. Overall there isnt much maintenance other than doing backups weekly to store all the data incase the server crashes. Im bored with it and would like to see someone take over and put some effort into stickers, shirts, etc.

    At the very least you're gonna wanna know how to run a forum and market it right if you want to make money doing it.

    I'd be really interested in buying, but don't have the cash at the moment.

    If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump

    You will need at least intermediate html,php skills and some server knowledge with cpanel /whm. Then you need an understanding of vbulletin. To do an upgrade to the latest version you are looking at a multi day event if you know what you are doing.

    When things are setup the way you want there isn't a ton of work involved until upgrade time or a during a major failure on the server side. You always want to have current backups.

    vbulletin is coming out with a new version. vBulletin 5. It's in beta testing right now. To upgrade this site it would cost $209. I just purchased vbulletin and it cost me $249 for a license. There is money involved when running a forum and keeping it updated so sponsorship is a must.
