Two questions:

1) I take it the domain is included in the sale and will be transferred. If so, what is the registrar?
2) Is the website under Cpanel? (Would just make things much easier to transfer).

Also, could I please see the daily breakdown of stats for February? That'd be awesome.

11. What all does the site include?
Domain Name.

Well that would seem to answer my question.

Last one, I promise: how much space/bandwidth is the website using monthly?

(Sorry for the triple post )

[agnit]

The domain is included. Registered in November through Aplus.net

The website is not Cpanel. It is a dedicated FreeBSD server with webmin.

Some more webalizer on the month of Feb. Thanks.

Where is the traffic coming from?

[pmcdonnell]

Do you have a buyout price?

[AaronTHUG]

dont sell it for $100, its worth a lot more than that.

[Latic]

I'll bid $100 pending confirmation of where the traffic is generated from and a break down of running costs.

[SFA-Dark]

very interesting. Are there a lot of adult/xxx pictures?

How long a day do you need to spend going over all the images.

[agnit]

Unfortunately, webalizer is not smart enough to tell me where the traffic is coming from by location... please see the following screenshot. I respect the privacy of the peopel who upload pictures, so I won't disclose the forums/sites that generate the most traffic.

There are adult images on the server since I am lenient on what I have been deleting. Basically you could find nude men or women, but anything that is even close to being graphic is deleted. This probably equiates to 10% of the uploaded images per day.

Like I said above, about 5 -10 minutes spent deleting pictures from the server a day.

Feel free to send a PM with any "buy-out" requests. Also, if you want to bid anonymously, then also send me a PM stating your name and contact information and your bid price.

Thanks

Hey all the original poster said:

12. Asking price for the site?
Starting at $100

"Starting" not a buy it now price, that is why I asked how much is a buy it now price......

IMPORTANT: I should also mention that the bandwidth usage each month is misleading. I use the dedicated server as a proxy server for my home network. So all my surfing and downloading has been channeled through the www.netpix.org server. This may have inflated the bandwidth usage by as much as 25%.

Correction. As someone else pointed out, this does NOT change the statics that is displayed by webalizer. Since I was not accessing the Apache server but a different proxy server running on a different port.

Thanks!

Where does the $60 cost come from?
