and...




he deletes all the content on the site, puts up a generic template and wants to sell just the domain, without any of the content that makes it valuable.

:warning

site would help to determine if stupidity was in play

who is it?

sounds pretty fucking stupid to me.

what site?

Some people think that a move to increase wealth is smart.
By following their logic, it is possible to say that a move to decrease wealth is stupid.
Of course, everyone counts wealth and value differently.

if you have a cache version. Time to pop a new site.

complete stupid move. If he is able to sell the site for profit after doing that I really feel sorry for the person that purchases it.

do you ever read the bs you post?

stop using a fucking bot and contribute somethig worth while you shit stain.

Just ignore him already...you'll become a happier person, trust me.

And yea, it does sound kind of stupid. I've ended up buying sites and parking or redirecting them, but never ones like that.

way more than stupid...

I was thinking of buying a McDonalds ..... Taking down the logo, gutting the interior and selling the empty building .......


.

there is probably more to his strategy than you can see, but who knows, maybe is actually stupid... lol

leaning towards stupid on that one

= fail. 678

if you know him take baseball bat and smack him in the head so hard!

How did he value the site when buying it - surely he didn't just price the domain name if that is all he is trying to turn over?

douche!!

which site is it?

:thumbsup:thumbsup

That will bring many people hope...

Glad to hear there are still suckers around with too much money and willing to spend them. That is promising for the future and the economy! :thumbsup

Ouch that hurts

Tell him I've got a bridge to sell!

sucks cause it was a great resource for design, was in my list of daily rss feeds i read.

Yes it's stupid idea,i made a similar mistake long time ago but i managed to recover my investment and even make some money.But when you buy site it's best to leave it's content even if it's outdated.Also similar thing was done by wegcash i think by buying site like consumption junction,remove it's rich content and putting a stupid join form to some stupid site.

The only way it would make sense to me is if he wanted to purposely ruin all
the hard work, blood, sweat and tears the previous owner put into it in a vindictive way.

100% stupid!
