If (X) wanted to buy GBATemp would the Admins sell it?

maybe this is what they want

Would this offer include a no compete clause?

I am sure if "could retire on this" money was offered and everybody could bugger off and found switchinfinity.sexy then Shaun and Costello would have their second private islands and we would all go sort that out. Only p1ngpong's cat was foolish enough to sign a contract for here so you would then likely have to restaff.
Lacking the legacy posts might be a tough one but we have populated whole sections before, might even be better as some of the stickies and guides are a bit long in the tooth.

Always a good question at these points.
If you were boss man what rules would you change and to what? What would you attempt to do that is not done, or not done much, now? What would you stop doing as much of? What modifications would you make to the forum software? What services and networks would you open or play up? What current services and presences would you close or allow to wither?

Be aware that forums are surprisingly fragile things when considering your responses to those.

Only if Disney or Microsoft offer billions for it.
Then they could create a new site named switchtemp.com that would be legally distinct.

Switchtemp? With the site's current state, I'd bet it'd be called PS4temp.

If GBAtemp was sold I'd leave. The new owners probably wouldn't side with me when asking questions like this. And it was a very serious question.

Who would buy a forum about console hacking, though? Even if the user traffic would be appealing, there would need to be significant changes to the cores of the forum that would drive most of the active userbase away.

Nintendo to ban us all

Can it really be competing in the first place if "the competition" has been around years prior to the deal?

 

[DRAGONBALLVINTAGE]

I'm worried about this thread's OP being @DRAGONBALLVINTAGE.

why?

Let's see, OP is DragonBallVintage, thread drew in an "offer" by Spectral Blizzard, so if it was bought, would they become the admins?

depends if the mods want to get rich or just keep every thing how it is.

 

[SirNapkin1334]

So lets just say some company wanted to buy GBATemp for a lot of money would the admins sell it?

No. After all this time, they are trying to "Stay independant." If they get bought, we probably wouldn't be allowed to talk about hacking, provide piracy programs (ones that require an important something to function, of course), or have anything to do with Flashcarts. But we have good sponsors, they probably won't turn to that, hopefully.

It depends if you were an admin of a site would you rather give the site to some one else and get a ton of money or keep things the way they are.
