So I've decided LB is worth around $2,000. Not a dollar more
Old shitty code means almost nothing monetarilly...especially when half of the site's features are broken and it's much harder for a 3rd party to understand & compile shit based on someone else's code. Even worse if the existing code is rudimentary/sloppy because its the work of an amateur. Your headache becomes 10x worse
NOBLE pointed out how a lot of shit was coded for this specific version of vBulletin...this drives the value down even more. So basically whoever buys this site is literally forced to use this version vBulletin and miss out on all the innovations unless they can hire someone to code equivalent mods, while at the same time pouring money into a new vBulletin license (unless this old license transfers to newer versions)
If we're talking how much is LB worth in 2006/2007 it'd be five figures easily... Shit, paying for Exclusive Membership used to actually be a thing when LB v3 first dropped. Just imagine 50 people paying you $5/month. It's shit money but it's a residual $250/month. The site had 10x more visitors, if they ran ads at the time I imagine they made much more from ads than exclusive membership
