Regrettably, I have to put http://www.theproductforum.com up for sale.

As some of you may know already I have a baby on the way and just don't have the time for two children! TPF has gone from strength to strength but recently as I have less time, I have been looking at other projects and ideas that are less time consuming. So for this reason, I am now going to put the forum up for sale.

It is less than 6 months old with nearly 11,000 posts and over 400 members. Even without serious promotion recently the forum has been getting around 80-100 UVs a day mainly from Search Engines.

We have had additional work done to the vBulletin forum also, adding a media library and other features which have proven popular.

Substantial SEO work has been done over the past few weeks which should allow the new owner to driver the forum forward and eventually monetise it (we have a premium membership which we gave away to a few members, which costs 99c a month)

You will own the domain, the forum, the vB license and the vBseo license (itself costing over $100)

I do ask that the new owner has a genuine interest in technology and consumer electronics as I would love to see the forum flourish in the future.

I have put around $1000 into the forum since it's inception and am willing to listen to offers, so please reply with any questions you may have or PM if you wish.

Johnathan.

Hello. Out of the 415 members, how many of them login each day and what is the daily average post count for the forum?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Difficult to say daily, but for the most part between 20-40 log in over a 72 hour period.

The average daily post count is based on just under 11k posts in 6 months, so roughly 60 a day.

Thank you.

Hi Jonathan. Would you be willing to sell me the database without the VB and VBSEO license? If yes, how much would you want for it. I am looking to merge several forums into my new General Discussion Forums (http://www.splendidpoint.com). Eventually my site will have several categories and subcategories as I import several forums into it. You can sell off your VB and VBSEO licenses separately.

Let me know

I'm also looking for the database, but I want the domain, too. Are you willing to sell this without any of the licenses? If so, how much?
