For forum owners
Thinking about selling?
Start with a conversation.
You know the regulars, the moderators, and the threads people still come back to. We want to understand those things as well as the numbers.
Look at it together.
We’ll talk about the software, traffic, revenue, and moderators, and work through your questions about a change of ownership.
Plan a handover.
If we agree on a sale, we’ll work through the practical details together, including the domain, software, and day-to-day responsibilities.
