Would you sell your forum if you got a reasonable offer?

I do struggle a bit with the idea that there's "no price" on any website, especially one as "small" (in relative scale) as a forum. I mean, seriously - if you were offered $1m or even $10m for your forum, which you could then use to invest in building & significantly advertising a new project... duh?!

I sold my biggest forum (for a significant chunk of change, at least to a teenager!) but I definitely regret it. I got a decent amount of money for it at the time, which allowed me to buy a few things and have a few experiences a lot of teenagers don't get, so I was thankful for it in that respect - but man, if I hadn't gone through with the sale I have no doubt I'd still own that community today and it'd be a thriving family business.

Live and learn, as they say!

I get where you’re coming from, and for a lot of people, a big enough offer would be a no-brainer. But for some of us, our sites aren’t just businesses or projects, they’re a part of who we are.


My forum has been with me through everything, from my childhood(teenage years) to adulthood. It’s not about the money for me. I’ve seen and handled plenty, but money comes and goes. Passion and the deep connection to a community? That’s something you can’t just sell off. For some of us, it’s never just about a number, it’s about what it means to us.
