Think it would be a good goer

Deff change to VB and then hit them members with newsletters and get them active again . Hopefully the new look will breed some excitment into the form

cost ya much

thats exactly my plan. A few contests, some newsletters, get the members posting, and we're on our way

Congrats. What did you pay for that site?

I dont like to discuss things like that in specifics. Probably more then its worth right now though, but I think it has good potential.

Any suggestions on what to do with it?

I think it was an excellent investment!!!

The members are genuinly interested in the outcominig of the changes and seem very "attached" to it as a community....

I wish you all the luck with it.....

The best part as I saw it - it that it has almost NO SERPS -- yet has the age and the members, so I should be able to SEO it rather quickly and draw alot of new members in a reletively short period of time.

Hey Joey

That looks like a great investment indeed and I am sure you will do a great job of developing it further. Did you spot this on Sitepoint...? I didn't see it on there? if not, where else shuold I be looking to expand my empire too...:)

Sort of but not exactly. Someone on sitepoint knew the owner and that he might want to sell -- I approached the owner and he sold.

What's your timescales on getting this updated/converted Joey. Do you have a plan?

It's gotta be done before the 10th of May!

OK, so please enlighten me yeah... what's happeing on the 10th May...?

current hosting plan runs out.

Hahahaha.... well that's as good as any I suppose...:):) And there was me expecting to read and be totally envious about a new holiday in the US.... ;)

So, what's the plan Joey? Did you decide which way around you were going to migrate? Server or app first?

app first I think. Once its all working right, then ill transfer.

Keep taking 5 day weekends and you aint gonna get much done. ;)

HA -- No.... I was working on the site. I was at a Meet n Greet for Lincoln vs Cadillac

age is such a big thing with G, if your site has been around long and never been penalized, optimization is a cake walk

Exactly.
