Sadly these days a lot of people prefer Twitter and Facebook (rubbish that takes ages to find something from as little as a month ago)

There will be people setting up new forums and coming on here to PM and poach the members now i guess! that said hopefully someone will want to buy Goonersworld and therefore save losing thousands and years of old posts etc.

Thanks for the hard work you've put in to keeping it running nicely over the years, some forums make you post x amount before you get promoted to the first team, all a bit school-ish and a good way to make the new members feel like their opinion isn't worth as much as a troll that spends 24/6 posting, Where as this forum is more for the wise man :biggrin:

For those asking what you get for £500,

The domain name runs until 2021, so that,

Maybe hosting depending until the end of the year, depending if it's monthly or yearly,

But the potential is there, an upgrade to phpbb 3.2.2 offers better mobile responsiveness, an advert extension could put ads after the 1st post, at the bottom and at the top and at the side of the forum, you can set those ads for only guests/people that haven't logged in.

Put it this way you could buy this forum and say to all the members, £5 a year for ad free viewing, as long as the content is better than other Arsenal forums people will be up for it, that also means members will log in more to view it without the ads, it's a win win,

Goonersworld is 2nd in the search engine ranks for Arsenal forum, i'd buy it myself if i had the time to put into it and push it on.

Damn! Just saw this, and sad to hear Trina. But I understand. You have made this place great, and put a lot of time and hard work into it, plus you got to meet me, so I'm sure that was worth it all right there! ;-)

My main barrier to a forum is I expect that the majority of traffic is repeat posters (which is going to dictate how much you can feasibility make via affiliate links/ads) - interested to see data though...
