'Our' worth...

Spyke

Nothing steadfast and probably not accurate, but we like to see a monetary value assigned to things:

And at about 1500 members that means we're each worth 5 dollars! ?

how is that value calculated?

What I know about websites and hosting etc is dangerous but I can only guess that it's based on advertising and the like.

I'm afraid those US calculators are far off the mark. If this was a forum for international/US players, it would be accurate but not in the SA market.

I found this out the hard way when trying to sell another site of mine valued at R200k according to those calcs. Only fetched a quarter of that in SA.

SA has a long way to go in appreciating online real estate but that will come, especially with the increase in bandwidth we can expect to come into effect over the next few months and years ?

PS: You guys are worth a LOT more than $5 each. You're priceless ?

I think Alan is worth $7500 and the other $200 or so is split to us other guys.

Awwwwwe ?

Thanks for the reply Norio, nice to know the facts behind it.

Still, you have every reason to rest well at night knowing that you've done good with this site. (We'll pretend you don't live in Kempton for the time being... ?)

Haha, ja I swallow hard each time I tell someone I live in Kempton ? Not a bad place but not nearly as cool as when we stayed in Centurion! Ah well, what can you do? ?
