    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.

    email me [email protected]

      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.

          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.

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

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

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

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

                                                      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.

                                                            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.

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.

Stile, I'm not even joking when I say this, The first time I ever looked at online porn was on your site specifically the random pics page. lol will never forget it, for the longest time your site was the only place my friends and I went for porn.

You're just burnt out. I get that way too...and then I compare what other people are going through and realize I have it damn good.

                                                                                                  Your caught up and wound way to tight right now.

                                                                                                  Your site which I remember very distinctly as being cutting edge , was a great look at what sites would become in the future.

                                                                                                  I have not taken a look at the site in years but just as you know the internet is not gonna change in the next 60 to 90 days.

                                                                                                  The valuation of your site right now cause you are depresses would be a wrong decision,
                                                                                                  look back at when you started and what you wanted to accomplish I am sure you have surpassed all your goals if you had any.

                                                                                                  There will be soembody out there that will buy your site and I am sure you will get the wire into your account and be happy for about 20 minutes...then you will have remorse for a lifetime.

                                                                                                  Your basically someone who has been succesfull with a partner who is leaving and you are directionless.

                                                                                                  Not trying to be an idiot or anything like that but I would put the site on auto pilot for a while and not worry too much and take a 2 to 3 month journey to a place like Africa or India and see what the world is all about.


                                                                                                  I am sure with a break like that you will come back with a lot of inspiration and the right person will come around with which you can implement what you need to do and move forward into the next decade.

                                                                                                    this really doesn't add up - your main reason for selling you say is that you've lost your programmer to a big job in mainstream - nobody in mainstream is offering your programmer who has been working 10 years on a shock website for hundreds of thousands of dollars - if your programmer was making big money with you he wouldn't be leaving.

                                                                                                    it sounds to me like you want to cash out before things go down the shitter - which is fine, nothing wrong with that. i just don't think you're selling because you've lost or losing your programmer.
