Craig McGregor just replied on Rerolled. THIS IS GREAT

shit, wrong thread

Wrong thread, brah!

yea, "i shortcircuited" lol.

If a_skeleton_03 had to sign an NDA before they would start discussing potential offers, why the fuck is everyone spreading the info about how much he offered?

Oh ok, fair enough.

you're getting hosed if you pay 1k for that old board. OUAriakas bombfucked every forum with beueller posts 4 hours ago and nobody has posted since. poor Khane. i think Column gave up the ship already though, maybe he and Itzena went off together to make zika babies.

I'm pretty sure those zika babies would be an improvement over the stock.

I entirely agree with Khane in terms of the value of existing content, and his desire not to see it flushed forever. I don't agree with his "protest", but I can entirely see where he's coming from in terms of not wanting to see it lost. As someone that's spent four years writing thousands of posts, I am not eager to see it all erased over a measly thousand dollars. It's literal history, and many seem to not give a shit about it-- I don't get it. Just like many here are clamoring for old FoH posts, so too will they be for old rerolled posts a year for now when nostalgia and debates start to kick in.

Please get the rerolled content. We don't need to port everything, but the "popular" threads should be merged. if we don't buy the domain, then at least let's buy the database.

Heck, could probably run a version of their shitty forum software to make it easy to import and make it read only/archive. I doubt that's even necessary though.

At this point the only thing that even kinda matters is the domain.

I know yall laughed when I said this the first time, but we've got numbers floating around so I have to ask.

Putting aside specific offers for specific websites. Seriously, there are people or corporations who would pay a lot for a forum? In an era where no one ever sees an ad on the internet, I dont understand how a forum could be worth a lot. Is this real life or are you guys just fuckin around with these numbers?

We have three people I think that have scraped the site.

We have a DBA that has access into the current database and is testing ways to insert it via an automated script.

you keep talking like that and i'll want to insert it in you

Yeah, it's only a matter of personal philosophy. I remember my posts for anywhere between 1 minute and 1 day. Anything older than a day I tend not to give a shit about. Whatever my opinion of X topic was Y months ago was probably stupid, so I just attach less significance to it.

I don't think anyone is actually AGAINST getting the rerolled content, and I think it's mostly been grabbed in a real jury-rigged fashion. It's only a matter of what it's worth. It's putting a dollar figure on it. The community is worth something but the detrius that the community produces is worth far less. And sure, in all reality it's probably worth about a thousand just for sentimentality. And yeah, the domain name is worth a little something just so we can throw up a redirect and not lose lurkers.

There's an opportunity cost to everything though. 1k will buy a_skeleton_03 a fair amount of xboxes.

Like 2 of them.

Whether it applies to this deal or not, a lot is peanuts for site purchases. The value is highly relative to why it's being bought though. IMO RR had to have been bought for the unique visits we brought for ad revenue, and the possibility we'd visit other sites in the network at an increased level.

i dont want mrs gravy to lose her husbands posts, ya know because they mean a lot to her.

look at it this way. out of 9,412 threads on rerolled over 4 years. we have only 7 threads in the SS HoF and only 13 in the RR HoS.
just 0.21% of that entire board was worth remembering. throw in pgt and cooking thread and a few others you still dont even get 1% of the content.
