It has over 60 news related posts, and close to 200 articles. Some of the articles are unique to the site and
not found on other sites. It also postes articles written by others, and press releases. I can show you where
to get both if you need help. I was going to start a forums, but due to an un-honest person the sale for the
vbulletin license was revoked. It a the week time I had it up there was over 20 sign ups though.
The site is running site works pro which is a great CMS. You will need php and mysql to run this. The program
alone costs $99. Some features include:
Add and edit the content of your articles, news, user biographies, etc with ease. SiteWorks Professional
includes full browser based WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editing, which you can switch to HTML mode
for advanced users with the click of a button.
Our one of a kind content management system allows you to add articles to your site with ease. Each article can
contain multiple pages, which can have their display order shuffled. You can also edit and delete individual
pages from each article.
Your site's content is safe with SiteWorks Professional. SiteWorks Professional employs rock solid login
tracking and authorization, so you can be sure that no one will ever compromise your content.

I currently use fastclick.com and google adsense for advertising. I am unclear in there TOS as to if I can say
just how much I am making from the two programs, but I do cover my hosting and some. I'm sure with the right
marketing skills someone can sell their own ads and make a good amount of money.
The reason I'm selling the site is I'm focusing more on a forums site I run which can be seen when you click on
forums. That site is NOT included in this sale. I repeat,
www.techsupportforum.com is NOT included.
I can help with the transition, and can host the site until the end of the month. I can accept paypal,
2checkout, certified bank check, and escrow if you pay the escrow fees.
If you would like to startup a hardware site this is the site to get.
Everything that is included with the site:
Site Works Pro.
The design of the site.
All files and database to the site.
