If I pitch in a dollar could I have site ban wrong button pushing powers? I have a list of 132 that I would be willing to spend that dollar on.

Every Map maker have Agrement with Lack,so this mean that you need to make new agrement with map makers when you buy CC.

How much you think that Maps worth in CC?
How much you ready to invest in Map Foundry?
When you buy CC,will you remove some maps out of play?






































ps-this offer sound like some joke

Interesting point. What are the terms of that agreement? Can Lack sell the rights to use the maps to the new owner of the site? Or would that owner have to obtain new agreements from each map maker?

Depending on the wording of the agreement, either the maps are property of C.C. and thus Lack's to dispose of as he sees fit, or every author would need to be negotiated with for the site to continue using them.

Which them poses the question of how much is a map worth, OR which map is worth what, as some are obviously more popular than others.

If the maps are not C.C. property, then this would change the value of the site significantly.

What do you think your maps are worth Qwert? Serious question.

Last I heard, the going rate was $25, or equivalent, per map. Granted, that was quite a while ago.

I've been involved with a lot of purchases of companies and thing thing nobody has mentioned yet is earnings multiples. Usually purchases are made at prices relative to either EBITA (earnings before interest, taxes, and amortization) or net income times an earning multiple. Multiples are dependent on a number of things and vary depending on the state of the economy. It's essentially the sum of future earnings potential.

Thus if the site is raises 100K per year, we might expect a multiple of 7-8 (conservative and is reasonable in this economy) so a total purchase price of 700-800K. At the height of the boom I saw many manufacturing companies getting multiples of 12-15.

i think the maps are property of lackattackinc.

the map makers sell their souls for 25 dollars.

10 maps would die during this transition.

mapmakers will have 401k and vacation days when the transition occurs.

In a past career path I did a fair amount of business valuation, and you are correct that earnings multiples are a widely accepted method of valuing investments. However, the earnings multiple you would use for valuing a metal fabrication company are widely different than that of a website such as this one. I'd be surprised if a widely accepted earnings multiple for a content-based website such as this one would exceed 1. This is mainly due to the fact that internet businesses are typically unstable, as we internet users tend to be a fickle bunch. Especially since the typical demographic on this site is young, and competing sites could steal away your business much more quickly and easily than in other businesses such as manufacturing, which develop customer bases more slowly, and retain those customers much longer. Since we already know that premium income is somewhere in the neighborhood of 125 to 150 dimes, that's probably a fair price for the website. Lack could probably make the case that an additional $25K or so in advertising revenue could be brought in by selling ad space displayed to freemium members.

so that is an offer of 200 grand for conquer club.

this is a serious offer, and will wait to hear from lack himself...

I would think that the site is worth more than 170,000 dollars.

Here's the agreement.

So it looks like, if the conquer club website were sold, your agreement to allow conquer club permission to use the image would transfer to the new owner for as long as they see fit.

But, I'm not a lawyer, and I don't play one on TV, nor did I sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Graphics are fine better than any other sites ive seen. Improve them too much you would lose some people if there are any upgradeable requirements. Some have restrictions at work and so on.
