Supra-Woman Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 As some will know i own a car enthusiast forum, but i no longer have the time to run it, I was just wondering if anyone would fancy taking over, the licence is owned which i would have had a year in March this can not be transferred until then but i can give all passwords to the domain, host, VB etc. If there is no interest could someone please explain how i go about closing it, it seems a shame to do but like i say i dont have the time or experience. I dont think i am allowed to plug the site here but anyone genuinly interested please contact me via pm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevan Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 If it's a popular site with a healthy membership then I'm sure there are other car organisations that would want it. Before expressing interest, I'd expect to know the hosting/bandwidth costs and any advertising revenues. Do the members support it? Questions like that. Is is a single marque site or a more general site? Sorry if this seems to be rambling, I'm just typing questions that occur to me. I'd consider taking it on subject to satisfactory answers to the above questions. If you'd like to PM the URL, I'll take a look and come back to you. K.

ilicos Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Let me know more, I have a new client that has just bought a classic car rally club and it may be worth mentioning to them if it falls within their scope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supra-Woman Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 Members have dropped and its very quiet at the moment, albeit there is members there who are contactable to regain interest, it really is just an enthusiast site for someone to build on. I funded it by paying for licence, domain, host etc, there is no advertising, i threw stickers and fliers due to not liking the design when i took over. I have become sole owner since March, since then the scheme and design has changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Shame to hear SW, Tis hard work and very time consuming so I know how you feel. Car forum members are very fickle, they all love the next new forum out only to disband later down the line. How long is the VB subscription valid for?

Supra-Woman Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 The VB subscription is perminent as it is owned and not leased, it can be renewed to new ownership in march but i have no problem giving a rightful owner the password etc and transfering when the time comes.
