msweet 140 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 The site worth appraisal site says DM could sell njdevs.com for $107,000. I knew I should have negotiated stock options as part of my site admin compensation package. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DevilMinder 1,245 Posted July 28, 2009 Author Share Posted July 28, 2009 If I was shrewd I would devalue the initial stock offering anyway! With our luck a Ranger fan would buy the site and put ads every other post. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Colin226 118 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Damn.. although it's only worth that much if there is actually a buyer out there willing to pay it.. That's good news so long as DM doesn't run out and sell the site now that he knows the value haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sundstrom 719 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 for anyone to think that DM didn't know the value of the site i think is naive to say the least. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Colin226 118 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 for anyone to think that DM didn't know the value of the site i think is naive to say the least. Well DM, did you know the value already? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
devilsadvoc8 7 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Value estimate is one thing. Finding someone to pay that is another. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DevilMinder 1,245 Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 Believe it or not, I have gotten legit offers to buy the website in the past. One sports company offered 3K, an independent operator around 1K. No where near 107 thousand though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DevilNurn 5 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I saw another site that appraised the site for about $33,000...also far from realistic but it's interesting to see what it could be worth if there were a huge people scrounging to buy it... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Coorslight 16 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 I sent donation last night but didn't get a confirmation that I know of, was it received? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DevilMinder 1,245 Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 I'd bet if you had ad revenue they'd offer more. Probably not six figures though. Both of them wanted to slap ads up. They claimed to make their money back in months by buying busy forums and taking in ad revenue. I got several donations last night, thanks to the latest round. Got busy yesterday, I will still thank everyone! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DevilMinder 1,245 Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 1,250 at the moment. Pretty nice! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sammyk 71 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 So money to spare now? How about some new paint and carpeting in the chat room? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DevilMinder 1,245 Posted July 29, 2009 Author Share Posted July 29, 2009 As long as we can keep the monthly server to under $85 we should be good at this point. I am still having trouble finding a server with the stats we need at that price range. As for the chat room, I looking around to see whats out there. No change yet.

sammyk 71 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I was just kidding about the chat room. It doesn't even affect me as I use mIRC anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DevilMinder 1,245 Posted July 30, 2009 Author Share Posted July 30, 2009 Just a status update, we still haven't found a new host. At this rate we won't be doing anything till the end of next week because of other obligations coming up. For those of you with server knowledge, try and find a host with 2 Gigs of memory dedicated and you will find the stone wall we are hitting for the price range we need.

DM--I've actually been using these guys for the last year to host a portion of our website (written in PHP with a MySQL backend) and they have been good and are inexpensive Cirtex Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Their related entity with dedicated hosting has 2GB RAM (burstable--not sure if that will do it for you) for $70/mo HostV Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I will have to look into burstable stability though, I am not familiar with that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We went from the Cirtex side to the HostV side about 8 months ago. Not one issue with availability and my developers like the DB access. We have MySQL replication running in both directions. Good luck with the hunt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
