Hello!

1 year and almost 2 months ago I bought archeage.info domain , but  ... because of being kinda of lazy , I "forgot" to renew it and now they took it off my account. The think it, since I am the last owner of the domain, I can still get it back before they put it on-sale again, but for the price of 120$. I could wait till the domain goes public, but I am pretty sure that I will not be the first who will purchase it.

Anyway , I would like to buy it again, but does it worth it? I purchased it back then , thinking to open a fan-base website for Archeage, but now I don't actually have that much of time to manage it. Is there someone who has time to take care of news, managing forum and such if I buy it again? I will provide : domain name and hosting for free! And other usefull informations if needed.

If there is none, then I think I will leave the domain to whoever will purchase it. But I am "afraid" that someone will buy it just to re-sell it for a higher price.

Let me know what you think.

So if you don't have the time then you can't make the website, whether you want to or not.. so why does it matter what happens to the domain?

Unless you are trying to get someone to run a fansite with adverts and you plan on taking some of the money it makes because you own the domain.

I am trying to get someone to run the website? Yes! For ads income? :) No!

How much do you think a website like archeage.info will do from ads? I am in this business,  and if I would have saw an oportunity to make money with archeage.info , I would have renew it. Heck, I even want to buy it now for 120$ , but no, not for ads! I want it to be a fan-base website where archeage fan players will meet and disscus about the game and such. 

It takes time to make a community website. Gathering news, infos , regulary to keep the website "up to date", it takes kind of a lot of time. 

So yes, having someone to manage it, will be great. I can even help to make the website if I have time and if there is someone who really wants to take this "job" !

Every extension , theoretically, has a value if it's "in good hands" . Same goes for the name of the domain. I can have mechtech256.info and if I manage it good , and raise it's PR and bring SE traffic, then it will be very profitable.  

So you plan on designing the website, setting it up and just want someone to admin it after it's all ready?

That wasn't clear for your original post.

I said I will even help to make the website IF I have time.  As for the rest yes, it stands and I was clear on my original post : domain name + hosting for free ( as I have 3 dedicated servers ), so basically I will pay only for the domain name.  

Else, if you understood something else, please copy/paste my line where I have been saying that I will design the website, ( setting it up it's .......fine, I can do it if the website it's finished )

I wonder why I bothered asking this on mmorpg.com ! Did you even readed my original post?

Er well no, it wasn't clear in your original post because that's not what I understood from it. But thanks for starting to get rude and defensive! I was asking some questions and you've interpreted it all wrong. You're being strange anyway.. you're basically saying you will pay $120 for a domain for someone else for no reason at all.. it won't be your fansite.. but you'll have to power to take it from whoever works on your domain whenever you want and call all the shots. I can not for the life of me understand why you would do this.. braggin rights based on all the effort someone else put into your domain? Advert revenue I can understand.. but you've said you didn't want that. Maybe you're just sad that the domain might go to waste and have strange feelings about it? Why would you buy this domain for someone else to use? Why?

Its pretty hard with how broken your english is honestly. Cannot read what is poorly communicated. Generally speaking, unless you are willing to put in the work, or pay someone else to put in the work, no it will not be worth your time. Whether you do it or not, sites will get made regardless.

Don't bother..........Its worth nothing. Zilch. Zip....ZERO

But go ahead and blow 120.00 if you think otherwise. Im telling you now though, its junk.............

Nobody's going to commit to something that will only happen IF you have time.

if you want someone's commitment, you better commit yourself.

The "who wants to work on my project? we'll make this project if I have time" approach is simply too unreliable.

No! It's not what I was asking or saying! If someone wants to work on this website, then he will have my support beside domain name and hosting. He can do like (almost) everything he wants. Simple as that.

In a project, there will always be more then 1 person. I am bringing the domain + hosting + support as long as I have time and when I have time. The other person should then take care of the website, managing it and such. Again , is simple! It's team-work.  It's this guy with a broken car, and there is this other guy who will make the car work.

Anyway, why do you people see me like I want to profit from someone's work?

Since I am a big fan of AA , and I like keeping in touch with the community from time to time, I will have the pleasure to offer and have a place to know AA fan's from around the world. I like to take part in projects like this.

Plus, I want to buy a new car, a new apartment , plus few bitches to wake me in the morning with the dinner ready...
