Stileproject.com for sale! Holy shit!
 

Hi there. Lots of you folks may know me and Stileproject http://www.stileproject.com. My site has been around since October of 1999. Currently around #2600 on Alexa, and getting 400,000 uniques per day.

I also have a bunch of other sites -- check out www.stilenet.com for the list. Most noteworthy is theforum.com which is a message board with 60,000 members, 5 paysites (which i would be willing to sell seperately) and blogwars.com and a bunch of other sites you can check out at www.stilenet.com

Basically i'm looking to sell stileproject.com or sell and be hired to run the site.

What I would ideally like to do is start it over from scratch and tube it up, along with social networking functionality and a bunch of other ideas. I don't have the resources to do this right now. The site has just been me and a sysadmin for 10 years now. I have so many ideas and no resources to get them done. I would want a full time programmer to help me build the site into what it should be. I know I can get it to #1000 in 30 days of relaunching.

The buyer would get all the hardware running ALL the sites, around 40 high quality servers, routers, etc.

You could hire me to run the site if you like and even do ad sales etc.

You'd be hard pressed to find anyone that doesn't know stileproject... its been my life for the last 10 years.

Financials available on request. I'm looking for 7 figures for this, so don't email me if you're not serious.

I can fill you in on all the info/stats/financials, and when you hear it, you'll be interested.

1st CJ sales and now you.. what is the net coming to these days

good luck stile, it would be best if someone bought it and hired you to run it, I know from experience selling a site you run, and the person who buys will most likely run it into the ground.

Awesome site good luck with the sale :thumbsup

i have no choice, my programmer got a job offer from the coolest tech company out there for a lot of money being their head programmer for some new top secret shit and its really something any sane person would be hard to resist taking. i can't run my stuff without him and i wouldn't want to, he's been with me since the beginning.

wow, good luck with the sale man.

i really dont want to sell but have no choice. traffic has been going up like crazy lately and the site is more popular than it ever has been, should do 10 mil uniques this month.

I really hope you don't sell it to someone who will replace the front page with a credit card join page.

yeah i wouldnt want to either :( this site has been all i've known for the last 10 years.

lol

i hear those sites make a lot of money

Damn this could be a big business move for the right player. Good luck.

i thought the site had been bought and sold like 2 or 3 times already since its inception?

7 figures divided by 20% due to the recession

yup, only SCUM allow this to happen.

So lets say 5.000.000 / 20% (20% of 5mill is 1 mill) = 5 bucks? OK, I take it

Could be a nice deal for the right buyer.

if it's still profitable, why not just hire a new programmer?

I was wondering the same thing.

Good luck with the sale :pimp

I hit ya up on ICQ, this one's for the post count :P

You know where to find me and I guarantee you won't find a better PHP developer. Believe me, I think I've interviewed them all.

ain't that the truth.

i meant minus 20%

how sad is that.

good luck anyway man.

No way. This is fake. Please?

no this isnt fake... im really depressed right now.

The million+ should help that.

well, a million aint what it used to be... after taxes you get half of what you sell for, and then it's done. what i worked 10 years to build is gone in the blink of an eye.

Good luck with the sale and best wishes on your future ventures.

I built an mmo gaming network for six years of my life... then WoW came along and destroyed the entire industry... In the blink of an eye my company and my 6 employees were gone... sucked and I feel ya...

Great opportunity for someone. I just heard stileproject mentioned on the news offhandedly the other day in a discussion on porn.

I wish I had the extra money to spend and I would take this in a heartbeat.

heh stileproject was on CNN a bit ago.. what news were u listening to?

wow what a calc!

If you do sell, you may want to talk with a financial guy prior. You could probably roll over a lot of that seven figures into another "self managing" business to keep a residual income going over the long term. That's what I would do anyway, because you're right... if you are accustomed to a particular lifestyle, those seven figures can go faster than you'd imagine.

Sounds interesting.

Stileproject was one of the first "porn site" I bookmarked 10 years ago!! Good luck with the sale

I wish you the best of luck. And that's some great advice from Sly ;)

Assuming the buyer hired you and the full time programmer you needed, about what would be the monthly cost of running the site for the new owner, everything figured in? (with the goal set to your ambitious vision)

good luck with the sale dude :thumbsup

hire me :) and keep the site...

stile i know a good programmer if you want to hire someone

Good luck man.
