Site Future
 
At this point in time, I don't see any personal reason for me to keep this site going.

I recognize there are several people who continue to utilize it daily for their collecting needs.

So.. I will entertain offers to purchase the site, which consists of:

- The domain www.juangone.com
- The forum software vBulletin
- The software that I wrote that powers the collection
- The database that make up the collection
- The filesystem which holds all of the photos.

Upon purchase, you will need to transfer the domain name to your ownership. You will need to purchase a hosting service to transfer the website to your system. I would suggest the company that the site is currently with, mddhosting.com. The plan I am using for this site costs $76.50 a year.

For a fee, I can handle all of the above for you and for another fee, I can continue to handle any problems that may arise. That said, the site never has problems.

As the owner, you will have full and complete control over everything here.

So your cash outlay is:

- Pay me for the site. Based on the price, I will handle all of the moving for you.
- Pay the hosting fees at $76 a year
- Pay the domain yearly renewal fee at $15 a year

So you can see that I have been paying $90 a year for this site, which makes no money for me since I have never put advertisements up. The forum software originally cost $135 and I spent many, many hours writing the collection software.

You guys could also band together as a group and run the site.. Argue over where cards go :)

I love the site and would love to have it continue... That being said, I'm not a computer guy so me running it is not a good option at all... I'm more the willing to contribute cash flow to keep it going...

I think I would like to pay you to keep it going let us know how much you need for your time and we that use this site will come up with the $$$ I think it will be about four of us to split. Yes and thank you for your time and $$$. Please let us know what you need. I would have no clue on how to run it or fix it if anything went wrong. Thank,Rob.

P.S.
I do not know if you have ever visited FCB but this collector site is legendary!

freddie 07-09-2014 04:22 PM

What I should do is rewrite the collector site and allow any players.

.. and then charge a membership fee.

freddie 07-09-2014 04:45 PM

So status quo for now to see if I get any traction on rewriting the website to support multiple players. If I do, we will start with the other players that you guys collect to get it going. If it ever happens, you guys will never have to pay anything.

It wouldn't take me all that long to rewrite it but I do this all day long at work so my time and energy to do it on my own time is low.

I know others collect other players but I collect only juan... I dabbled with George Brett for a while...
