Well I just made a webdesign trade and aquired www.geekgathering.com

The domain has a PR3 and I traded for it at the value of 100$. Do you think I did ok? Do you think it could turn into a good forum? Any other ideas?

He's saying that he recieved the domain in a trade. So in that case it wouldn't exactly be a sale.

Personally, without it being developed I don't really think you got a good deal. A PR3 is rather easy to do with simply adding the link in your forum signature and simply making regular posts.

Does it have potential for being a forum possibly?

Yea, any domain has potential. It just has to be developed properly.

Although your niche was recently taken by www.nerdpoint.com.

Not sure if there are any others similar to that forum though.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't go after it... Like I said, it was only recently attacked. There's still a ton of room for another site if you could start early.

I have never done a forum, and I would have to push 100$ or so into the vBulletin. Although I could skin it myself. But then I would be left with no money for advertising it. Hmm, maybe if I could find an investor to help.

Ya I heard there are a ton of security issues. Plus if I bought a vB liscense they seem to have a good support forum.

A litle piece of advice for Hex.

If you feel like you can't spend the $100 for vB, don't. Start with phpBB and if the forum grows, you can buy a vB license.

The hackers usually attacks only the big forums, I've never had problem on one of mine (around 300 users and 8000 posts). If it grows too big, I'll probably buy a vB for that one too.
