Once it get's up to a mil then I'll sell it, until then I would just replace all male reviewers(except Yahtzee) with female reviewers.
Well what, boobies sell and they sell good

Depends on the income I make from it. The Escapist might be worth more in the future. I could use its worth as leverage. $500k now is a lot, but if running this website pulled a salary I would be a lot less likely to want to sell it. A website doesn't require you to live in one place to run it. There's no commuting, no educational requirements, and I can set my own hours.
A bit scary how the unique visitors to the site has been in steady decline since May of last year. Anyway given that it makes $857/day so about $25,710/month I don't know if I would. I actually can't believe the amount of people asking how much the daily/monthly income is. Have people really gotten so lazy as to not click on the link?
Blasphemy! How can one who entrusted this site with his deepest thoughts and desires sell it like a box of old peaches?! Never, never I tell you will I sell this site!
Mostly because I'd have nowhere to go for fun facts and series.
Also, I had no idea google made $2,700,000 a day.... I should maybe go work for them.....
Also wikipedia makes $400,000 a day. Not bad for a encyclopedia.
Lastly; The site of minecraft makes a whopping $18 a day! Check that out! Notch can buy himself like 3 icecreams for that! Amazing! Lol.
But seriously, don't you even dare consider selling this wonderful peace of heaven.

"worth" 500,000" .... hmmm ... no ...
Even with all the costs, effort, manpower, and time that would go behind the Escapist ... I don't know... I think for a website that pulls as many viewers as it does that the opportunity for growth isn't going to rapidly depreciate over the next 5 years.

$500k sounds a bit low. I'm sure the brand is worth more than that. Those website valuing companies work on very restrictive criteria. Also the "website" may be worth that, but the company?
Pretty much this. If I owned it, I'm making money off of it. Better to have a money printer than to sell it to buy... something that doesn't print money.Abandon4093 said:I'd sell it to a company with a more laxed view on rules.
I dunno. 500K is a fair chunk of change. But it's not anywhere near enough to retire on, so if this place was my source of income, I'd have to decline.
Nothing under 3 mil.
I doubt it, if i owned this site i'd be happy with what i have, i wouldn't even know what to do with that kind of money.
On a side note, google.com is worth 2 billion, that i would sell

Using that website I found something unusual.
I decided to type in a website I know and this is what I got:
Mangafox.com
Estimated Worth: $1,623,187 USD
Income Per Day: $2,795 USD

Heh. Sites like that are quite amusing.
My mother attempted to start a consulting service with her IT skills, and because she registered as a business, she ended up being listed on a business website.
Now, we found this listing, and it was quite amusing... Apparently, despite having no customers, no assets (apart from a government loan), no revenue, and well, pretty much nothing that could qualify as the signs of a real, functioning business, the website still listed her company with a valuation of about 1.1 million Euros.
Yeah, that's right. That's more than double what the escapist is worth, according to your source, and the escapist is an actual, functioning company, where my mother's most definitely was not.
(she's made a tiny bit of progress since then, but still...)
It really makes you wonder how these kind of sites come up with valuations...

I wouldn't.One of my favorite sites I visit daily and one of my main forums as well.
Why would I wanna throw that away.
