Curious what someone would offer me for these domains:

scriptaz.com
scriptaz.net
scriptaz.org
scripters.net

Traffic stats as of November 2002:

(Figures in parentheses refer to the 7-day period ending Mar 14 2003 at 1:00 PM).
Successful requests: 192,980,588 (3,622,727)
Average successful requests per day: 1,226,208 (517,532)
Successful requests for pages: 2,439,416 (47,994)
Average successful requests for pages per day: 15,500 (6,856)
Failed requests: 265,267 (536)
Redirected requests: 1,497,670 (6,264)
Distinct files requested: 118,410 (10,399)
Distinct hosts served: 106,480 (8,891)
Corrupt logfile lines: 15
Data transferred: 1.121 terabytes (19.801 gigabytes)
Average data transferred per day: 7.294 gigabytes (2.828 gigabytes)
-----------------------------------

Lost interest in the site, getting tired of hosting it. Most of the domains expire within the next 2-6 months.

As you can see, they're heavily trafficetted, you'd easily be able to get advertising by parking these on any domain.

Not sure I want to sell them but curious what people would give me for all 4. Not sure anyone would use the names (except scripters.net) but like I said, you'd gain tons and tons of traffic as the community on that site has over 2100+ members and 10-85+ on it 24/7

As I said, no interest in continuing the site or hosting it. Also highly ranked in various search engines for various files hosted (google, lycos, etc)

How many uniques a day? Also, you would get more if you sold the site and users alond with them.

Matt: It's a site I've ran since 1998 and I want to leave in the past. I'm in no way involved with the communities it relates to anymore and have no reason to keep the domains just for the traffic.

It's more of a matter of wanting nothing to do with it anymore.

WannabeHost: My guess would be 2-15,000 unique. As for selling the site. I coded the entire thing ground up, and it's somewhat incomplete (it was a new version I started) and I doubt anyone wants to go through 70,000+ lines of code and 163 files of mine to attempt to continue it.... they'd be better off installing PHP-Puke or some portal.

If anyone is interested in starting or boosting traffic to a scripting/programming website this would be more interesting for you, but just for general traffic, you'd get boostings aswell.

There's over 1500+ websites that directly link for it, I'm sure if you search for the domain name you'd see countless websites linking to it .... including mirc.com a popular IRC chat program, which recieves over 10 million hits a month. That's just one of the "big" sites that directly link to it.

I'd pay 175 but first I wanna speak to the ppl in the community that take care of the site.

I was obviously kidding about the $10. I'm an admin at scriptaz and if you have any questions about the community that you don't want Bryan to answer, I'd be more than happy to.

I'm not really interested in selling the site as in the code, no. As I said it's fairly incomplete anyways and all you'd gain from that is a lot of users bitching at you to finish it. :)

If you're wanting to keep the community that's on the site then you could do what many of the "rival" sites do, and that's install a portal to get things up quick.

The reason I don't want to sell the code is because you're looking at 11 months / 450+ hours of work, and I don't think $100 was worth all that time.

Jake: Talk to kfreak then, he's the head administrator now.
