Have you ever sold a forum?

I have.

I used to run vapingforum.com

Vaping Forum | Your Vaping and E-Cig Community

A forum dedicated to vaping and electronic cigarette discussions, reviews, help and everything in between.

That was back when I vaped, when vaping first got started. I don't vape or smoke anymore.

I sold the forum off.

It stayed open for a few more years and now I noticed that it's no longer around.

Have you ever sold a forum? If so, is it still in existence?

Yes, I have sold a forum. It was a crypto currency forum. After I sold it, I was the site manger for almost a year. Then the owner did not renew my contract (it was a paid job) and when I went back to the forum after few months, I found that it did not exist.

Do you think it died because you were no longer on it?

I sold
Extreme Visual Basic Forum - powered by vBulletin - it was rebranded as Xtreme VB Talk and is now gone.
What Pisses You Off? - The Best Damn Debate Forum - Powered by vBulletin - a user bought and closed it. he didn't like some of the people. He asked how much I wanted. I gave him a huge price as a joke. He took it.
https://web.archive.org/web/20040202155641/http://www.dotnetforums.net/ - it was rebranded to Xtreme .Net Talk - I reaquired it last year.
There are others. Those made me the most money. I've also bought a few forums too.

I don't think so. Maybe she sold the forum to someone else and the new owner decided to change the domain. The forum I sold was using xyz, and not many people are favorable with domains other than dot com.
