Why won't they just sell the site to someone that actually wants to run it instead of just letting it die?

 

[Wild self]

So where we gonna migrate to?

At least for now, collect all the emails from posters you cool with, and stay in contact.

If I had a serve spot would open a second coli and make a meme coli token. Just too many projects right now to even think about doing it.

there's no way this site isn't making Brook a decent amount of money.

dude really can't take a day out of his life to fix some shyt?

 

[Jmare007]

I knew Brook had left the site hang out to dry but I had no idea he was the only admin let alone the fact that TheColi is slowly drowning

I'm in for a third migration and putting some money to get things going if indeed Brook never sells the site. Should be easier than the SOHH given that we could post everywhere on the board were to jump ship, as there's no admins to block shyt from happening.

Couldn't even last a decade

 

[Hey_zeus]

Going out sad.

Somebody archive all the gad dang legendary threads. Mollywatr and all that good shyt.

Once this site goes, my time on forums probably goes with it. It’s been a good run, they all end eventually

Same

I got a Reddit account , but I don’t be on it like that except maybe 15 Subreddits that I browse when bored. I was on InsideHoops for a short minute but this only one I be on religiously.

Only site I know of with other black folk who I can relate to, this shyt gone nothing more for me too

What does it cost to get a forum set up? There's at least a few thousand daily, active regular users here, across all the sub forums we have got. A $10 donation from each of us would probably yield a war chest of $50,000, which would probably be enough to get the place started and pay for server costs and SEO and all that shyt for a year or two. Not to mention when we get the new place up and running we can offset the operating costs with ad money.

One thing is for sure, it has to be a collective. There has to be a great number of admins, at least a dozen if not two. The weakness of the Coli model with basically one owner is that if that owner becomes engaged in other projects, then the whole community will suffer for it. But if we have 20 admins, then it doesn't matter if one or two of them disappear. So it's better to operate with a collective ownership model than being run by a sole owner.

The Xenforo software itself is less than $1k for 12 months of support (including updates/upgrades/support/etc.).

There's also web hosting, SEO, server costs etc. that all have additional costs. A group of 10-12 people could do some damage with split costs.
