Maybe Weeksy got an offer he couldn't refuse.

I guess it's still 'under construction' and pending a security certificate etc.

OTOH, Weeksy may have decided he didn't want us all piling over there.

It was awaiting an SSL change along with a banner, then a few updates to phpbb. But in truth I do t think it's going to fly.

What made this place work was the instant user base and accounts, I don't see that being quite so simple without users

So it's currently out of action and at the moment pretty unlikely to return

First Post could be something that goes absolutely fucking viral to get some momentum going, such as somebody cycling down a suburban street naked except for a cape and flip-flops, chicken in the wicker basket and a Roman candle spewing jets of sparks from their arsehole.

Give me twenty minutes.

Anybody got a chicken I could borrow?

Not me, I've about as much interest in push irons as I have shoving red hot pokers up my bum hole.

If my experience with bike seats is anything to go by, there's some overlap there.

He's got to sell this place first to fund it.

I could've sold this place 10X over. But that's not why I did it.

It's the politics forum that has the value, world leaders and influencers hang on its every word.

Genuinely?

I wonder what value it has outside of the obvious value to us who use it as a social club?
I doubt it generates much ad revenue, no merch to speak of, an aging (and dwindling?) member base of what is now a niche pastime, etc.

The value it's given me has been worth it, but if I was looking to make money then I'm not sure I'd see much in it.

I've never actually asked how much when they email, but I get a few each year

I know it was many moons ago and it may be different now,but the Ben dude who owned Visordown did all right for himself,I believe. That place had lapsed into a shadow of it's former self by then,yet someone saw the value/potential.

When Ben sold it it was at its peak, they then changed it into a completely different forum with adverts, daft icons, structure etc, that's when everyone left with WB to trc.

They're one of the companies yes. I don't know whether I even kept the mails to check the others.

When you say did alright for himself what are we talking, tens of thousands, hundreds?

No idea man,just hearsay really.
