    So, this was one my mind because someone actually tried to buy out my community before - and I refused, because I have no plans to sell ever.

    How about you? Did you go through it and sell or kept on pushing?

    I worked on one guy for a year before he sold.
    We were and are friends, but I was always asking him about it. :-)

    Oh, dang. Were you an admin or moderator there? What type of forum was it?

    Nope, I have never gotten an offer from anyone to buy my forum.

    There was one person who wanted to by my writing site, but I refused.

    Yup I was a mod there as well, it wasn't very active.
    It was vbmodder.com that my friend started to showcase his mods.
    I merged it with my vbsetup a few months before eventually selling.

    Very nice. How much did you end up selling it for?
