ptcruisers.com.au for sale? 3 Years, 11 Months ago  
Hi all,

Just renewed ptcruisers.com.au for another 2 years, which of course made me notice that another 2 years have gone by...

It got me thinking... is there anyone around here that would prefer to own this site so they can start doing more with it?

I don't want to just sit on it when I haven't really got any time to develop or grow it.

A club buy? Maybe just a group buy?

Let's discuss it here so that I know how everyone feels about it.


Shane.

As it bears our name and is our home, definitely club ownership - I'd suggest costs be shared between PTCDU Inc & PTCDU (NSW) Inc

Yes the existing clubs probably make the most sense.

But keep in mind that the PT Cruisers Downunder name is easy to change if needed (that's just graphics and text).

Its probably the domain name and the forum itself that contains the value.

This place has consistently maintained >30000 hits per month for the last nine months at least (stats prior to that are archived already). Haven't you guys got anything better to do.

Very interesting Shane without knowing the logistics, Club buy is my way of thinking or shared.
Are you thinking for in 2 years?

It's probably the domain name and the forum itself that contains the value.

We'd like a breakdown of costs to discuss at our next Committee meeting after Easter, i.e. Forum hosting and domain separate - as the club is already paying for it's own www address.

Hang on everybody... this isn't a product in a box that is being offered for sale.

Anyone can look up what it costs to host a website or register a domain name, so its not about that.

This place either has an intrinsic value, or it doesn't.

I'm not trying to sell it to anyone. Take special notice of this from my original post:

It got me thinking... is there anyone around here that would prefer to own this site so they can start doing more with it?

I don't want to just sit on it when I haven't really got any time to develop or grow it.


I just want this to be a general discussion so I can understand everyone else's feelings on this.

tis all cool ... I think we are discussing ... as don't forget some times things get misconstruded .. when typed and not spoken ... perhaps Pms or voice calls to clarify would be betterer ?? .. I am not at all sure on all this web and forum and home and away ?? stuff as I am not even sure the difference (way out of my league) but I will leave it to those that understand ... a few down south members will see more north members at COTM .. so a betterer picture & idea on your thoughts shane , may be available then too ... lets take it step at a time ... I enjoy the forum and the club pages ... and also realise a LOT more work goes on behind the scenes as what we think ...

Very true. With that coming up, you guys can chat amongst yourselves more easily.

And at the end of the day, if no one feels like this site is a wasted opportunity because its not advancing at all, then no change required.

Thanks for that Shane.
As far as I know it's working quite well for NSW the way it is.
I'm not IT orientated so i also dont have the time to change anything but the way it is, it's functioning quite fine.
When your on a good thing stick to it!
Really appreciate your efforts and support to the PT Community with this site Shane. Well done.

Shane I'm a bit confused here.Are you trying to sell this lock stock & barrel to the club.Or if there is no need to change anything you will continue to donate this site to the club.If selling we would like to know what cost are involved in running ,up keep of this site.If this site is old off I would like to think that the the club would have first option on it rather than selling it to someone else.

Isn't Shane saying that he would offer to sell it to someone who is not so time poor as most of us and is really willing to give it a go in improving/further developing the site for the betterment of the national and international community as a whole, instead of just wanting to offload it for the sake of it? It's not a case of 'he with the most toys wins'...

Phew! I've been scratching my head trying to figure out another way to put it, but sounds like someone has read and understood what I have written.

When I specifically say "I'm not trying to sell it" and then someone asks "Are you trying to sell it?", I had to have a little chuckle first though.
