Sorry to tell, but I still don't know anything that can't be traded for some dirty-nasty money

How many sites about games are out there?

Average users? 200 to 2k?

Income? under 100usd monthly?

chances of succeed? 50%?

you know what? sell them to me... if I got th structure, if I provide the services, then is business for me

what it bugs me is that some day someone more business minded, more pro-active and that doesn't stop on the 'maybes' and work in the 'hows' could try it and we just have to sit back and say: 'Oh yeah, it could be done...'

anyways my figures are: since you buy the 100% of the users [merge] you take the risk to lose 40% immediately

p.s. I have seen like 50 boards die...
