Well, awhile back at Forumotion, I purchased a Gaming Forum from KMRock with 600 Forum Cash. It has 180+ members, and 26,000 posts.

The thing is, is that a lot of people who were looking at it believed that it all the posts had been deleted, because even when you registered, there were only a few forums available that were involved with the old community moving to a new site. Even KMRock seemed to think that, and had offered it at a mere price of 1000 FP Cash. I played a hunch and believed that all of the forums were simply hidden from view (even from the Admin Accounts as I found), and I managed to get it for 600 FP Cash because of that. And as I thought, they were hidden from view (yes, a little bragging on my part.). I restored all of the permissions to allow guests to see all (public forums) but not post. (The Original Admins had it so you must've been registered to see the rest of the board.

Well. Now I have it. But I've no clue what to do with it.

It was a hugely active forum back in the day, came up with some awesome form of Game of the Year awards and discussions system. And even created a weekly magazine that you could download in PDF or Imagery format. And even though the banner isn't the greatest in graphics, it has some really sick forum graphics stored away in the staff rooms and whatnot.



I just don't know if I have the energy to restart a forum right now. And I thought about giving it away to one of my friends or re-selling it on some other Promotion Forum for a nice amount of forum cash. But then again, something like this could really come in handy for later. And my friends would probably start it up for a week, and then just abandon it.

But then again, it would also put quite a bit of work on my shoulders later if I decided to keep it.



Whatcha think I should do with it?
 
well if you can't handle it, give it to some reliable person who you know can run it. otherwise the forum just dies and your work is wasted.
 
If you don't want it, or you don't think you'll be able to maintain it, I would say sell it or give it to someone else who can.
