Has anyone ever offered to buy your site for money? If so for how much did they offer and did you take it?
Offer to buy your site?

Its been years since I remember being asked if I wanted to sell a forum or website of mine. I haven't sold any of mine as of yet.
Yes, someone offered to buy Revillution awhile back, didn't even ask what his offer was as we don't plan on selling it, but I can guarantee it was way lower than what I was willing to give it up for.
Not really no.
Yes, I think it was once. I said nope and that was that. The last one where I had someone saying let's merge and yet he wanted for power and wanted to keep his site name, and I was like.. Nope..
Hell, if someone willing to pay $200,000 then maybe I say yes

I was offered one time someone trying to buy a medium sized adult site I used to run. But he said I'd keep hosting it and he'd be the admin. I declined. lol
I've gotten several offers for my site over the years, haven't gotten any in a while though. The highest amount I got offered was like 2,000 (extremely tempting) but I turned it down and I think the guy got pissed, may have tried to DDoS me even.
I've never been offered money for my site. If they offer me enough money for it, I may be tempted to sell but if they lowball me then no. It depends on how much money is on the table.
Since I know how much I spent in the last 6 years on one site then it will be hard to get to sell it if the price is low as flip. That's the downside with IPB, it will cost you an hell of a lot over time
glad I jump ship from IPB, not liking their styles of late.
That doesn't sound good. You must not like them?
Never, but I base its value by what I see on cutestats. Of you guys know a better site for it let me know.
Man the last time I used IPB was like 2006. lol Switched to VB, then XF.
I was a huge fan of IPB all the way up to version 3 which I used, but as I watched them announce version 4 and test it myself, I could tell they were going in a bad direction and jumped to xenforo.
I was an administrator on a forum where the owner sold it. There were some problems, it was inactive, and all the old members had moved on to greener pastures. Every other month, or once a month, someone would check in or maybe post something in a chat thread that we had open. After a few months the new guy ended up closing the forum. So....I didn't see why he bought it in the first place. I guess he had plans for it. But it never took off.
I agree but they are thinking out of the box again with the their new version and they are improving. End of the day doesn't matter what forum software you use, everyone will have a hard time growing. Been using them for 6 years and I remember when I was a member of a site back 10 years ago that was the very first IPB forum software LOL
IPB 1.3 back then if I remember right, a powerful and fun software that was.
Yes agreed. I loved it. But it got too expensive....
Too expensive? What was the cost of it back in the day?
