Hi All,
Out of respect for all the wonderful, loyal members of this site, I am letting you all know that I have placed the site (micra.com.au) up for auction/sale.
If anyone is interested in "owning" or taking over CMF, i.e. fully taking ownership and taking it over 100% - you get absolutely everything!!! please let me know and express your interest. Everything is included, i.e. the great domain name "micra.com.au" but also all the content, forums and database etc.
I would of course prefer that a passionate micra person takes the site over and continues to inject the passion into it that all of you deserve. But of course, realistically that may not be possible. But I wanted to post it on here so that you at least have the option and heard it from me.
As you know over the years mostly between 1999 and 2005 I put a tremendous amount of time, energy, passion, money into the site. All of that I fully attribute to your loyal following and combined passion of the members of this site. But those days for me are well and truly over and the site now just costs me money. Deep down I feel that it deserves better and someone to take it over who has the time/passion to devote to it.
I am not a "sell out" so to speak, but more so I have done my bit and the time has well and truly come to "pass it on" and so hopefully someone else can enjoy it or turn it into something even better. It has a lot of potential. And I truly believe one of the friendliest communities currently on the www!!!
If you place some ads on it, it would probably generate $60-$120/month, but I just don't have the time to even fiddle around with it. It is still receiving a bucket load of traffic, pretty amazing for such a niche site.
The auction is listed here: https://flippa.com/128654-1-niche-car-site--Rare-1999-domain-3349-members-65000-hits-15000-uniques
The starting bid is $2800 fully inclusive of everything and of course you own the domain name. I believe with the sites history dating back to 1999, it is a very well ingrained domain name on the internet, it is worth at least that much.
Perhaps the UK micra site want to consider taking ownership and merge the sites to create a mammoth super site? Or perhaps a cooperative arrangement where a few of you team up to take it over as a group and you elect someone as the chosen programmer/editor etc.
Cheers, please no tears!
