Hey evil, you got mail :Graucho

uh-oh... that sucks

Another victim of Bush & A*s*h*c*r*o*f*t. Do you really think this guy would be selling his site if Bill Clinton was president?

It's called the "chilling effect". If these right wing anti-constitution people are going after bong sellers, you can only imagine who else they've got in their sites. Very sad for America.

Makes me curious. If you decided you needed to sell your site what would your minimum be?

I wouldnt take that site & domain if you fucking gave it to me.

It would be an amount appropriate for the traffic and content/software I have. 50K of Ogrish traffic is not worth 5 figures.

($5500 - bandwidth) x 6

I never thought I'd see Ogrish sell his site. Best of luck to you, but this will sure get a lot of monkeys off your back! :glugglug

* 6? lol not with a site of that nature by far... maybe 2 or 3?

The only thing I have heard was the GERMAN registrar shutting them down.

Yea, those tolorant europeans that have more censorship than usa by far. You can actually go to jail in some countries for saying the holocaust never happend.

50 BIATCH!

That's exactly what I was thinking.

yeah I know but I was just making a point to show that even that high, it's not even close to 5 figures.

Heheh kinda funny, I offered someone Net X 3 for their site and they laughed. They said, 'why would I sell you the site, when I could just run it for 3 more months'. Kinda funny because the site was for sale :1orglaugh

I agree with you, shocking as that might be. :)

Some of the anti-free speech laws in European countries are outrageous, and far worse than anything currently going on in the U.S. They even outlaw certain political parties and certain books. That's fucked up. Hopefully America will never get to that point.

Makes you wonder what they are trying to hide. Once a government can control your speech, and press, they can control the thoughts of the masses and tyranny is sure to result.

uh i might be missing something, but 2x 5,500 = 11,000.
that's 5 figures.

Math is hard.

Exactly. What does it matter if you get 20 hits a month and make 10k. Internet businesses aren't usually worth the same as a brick and mortar but $4500 a month in revenue if expenses aren't too great should easily sell in 5 figures. If I had an interest in dealing with the Feds on a regular basis I might pick it up.

Since people think 10k or more for a site generating $4500 a month in revenue is high I would love to see the prices you would take for your site. Not traffic, revenue. I could give a rats ass about a million tgp visitors a month.

I say we transfer the domain name to a chinese bulletproof host, then work on getting spring break pics of the Bush girls. I'm sure their naked drunkenness isn't that hard to come by.

shit sorry I was thinking 6 figures

I'm serious this will take very little bandwidth and make you alot of money. It will sell itself! If you can get this(and I'm SURE it isn't hard) I'm sure it'll get a mention on the Howard Stern show.

Think about it...

I think you answered your own question. Not many people want to purchase all that potential liability from a site the feds are already watching closely. This isn't just any site. I'm sure the 5 figure offers would come a lot easier, if it were.

Uhm, what exactly is the close government concern you all are referring to?

FBI contacted them to remove a video

and recently their registrar ( Joker.com ) pulled the site.

Okay, I knew about that stuff, but I wasn't sure if maybe there was more of a fuss about the video or something than I knew. The FBI just made a request right? I mean obviously I'm surprised to see Ogrish for sale. I'm personally kind of squicked out by wounded people, but I think Ogrish is important from a freedom of speech perspective. Joker.com is not a U.S. site and there is only so concerned an American needs to be about the opinions of foreign governments -- not totally unconcerned as we are all human, but there is only so much impact such is likely to have on a U.S. site.

why don't you hire someone to run it for you then?

Because hiring is too much trouble. I've done it in the past and it never really worked out.

hmmm, sort of a cop out - but it's cool if you want to sell and let ogrish die die die die ... it will be missed!! :(

When selling a business you need to be upfront with how much money it brings in each year. Gross profit, net, expenses etc.

You can't expect anyone to blindly lay down a 5-figure amount without this info.

I'll provide that information to potential buyers
