Selling BC-BB

WatchOut

Hello!

I'm currently selling BC-BB because i have lack of time administrating it, it's great has a lot of traffic, well you can visit it for further information. Start bidding and maybe you get this website, the highest bidder gets my website!
My forum has been online for some months, and is indexed a lot by google, msn, and abit on yahoo. It's getting a lot of new backlinks, well the logos, and all are owned by BC-BB, and you get all package included with it.
All the payments are made through Paypal, so a paypal account is a MUST.

I'm afraid that your forum is pretty much worthless in terms of how much sites sell for because it's just a free forum, making it no better than anything on invisionfree or similar hosts.
You don't actually own the forum software, domain name, bandwidth or hosting space, you only own the content on the forum which you have the rights to, which is the content you have created yourself.
Even then, some companies such as those offering forum hosting can easliy rig their TOS to give them the right to use content on your forum without asking or paying anything for it.
The advertisements are for the forum host, not for you, meaning that they generate no income for whoever owns the site.

There's nothing preventing anyone from buying hosting with PHP and mySQL and setting up a similar forum (using a more well known and trusted forum system) with adverts which will pay out t the site owner and with a decent URL.

yeah, i know i'm not owning it, but i was allowed to sell it. maybe somebody wanna buy it for some $ .

The problem is though that for the money someone would pay for it, they might as well go buy hosting from somewhere like ASO and then it's just a case of installing a free forum system on it.
That way, they would own pretty much everything other than the forum software, unless they bought a commercial licence from Jelsoft, Invision or similar.
Basically, all they would be getting from you would be your login details

WatchOut

yeah, true. But all the forum contest is that worth 0 $ ?

Nice information you got there Watch. The only problem with the domain name is the "unwanted -". I hope you'll sell it soon ^^.

Yeah, i know the information i love it. But the subdomain/host i hate it. If there was an Database backup feature i would even buy backup, but the host doesn't have that feature available yet.

xPureNLx

Is that so? What kind of database do you use, MySQL/Oracle/Access (using ODBC)?

- xPureNLx

WatchOut

I have no idea, i do not have any access to the database, or something similiar. I really regret my forum starting there, i should do it on a free host, buy a domain or earn one. Well, i made a mistake, i'll never do again

Most likely MySQL

xPureNLx

Hmm yes, true. Funny host that is =P.

Yeah, not funny, they actually stink!

I mean i've used that host, their support was so un-active.

I would recomment NOT to use that host .
