Draegtard- "Wanna buy my site?"
Craig- "How much"
Draegtard- "15k since it has a strong user base and lots of content"
Craig- "Sounds like a deal!"

Craig McGregor is still the asshole holding onto our database and files for no other reason than spite at this point. Fuck him.

And that's how a very reasonable start to a month turned into a very very very bad month.

Eh, he own's em.

If you wanted to go digging, i'm pretty sure that we ALL knew something like this was going to happen from the very beginning. I remember telling draegan that he owes us a pizza when he finally does cash out.

Honestly, draegan did us a favor. He could have done it better -- but we've got a shiny and chrome new site. And we've got a lot of posters back that were just sick of draegan's shit.

He didn't steal MY money. He stole Craigs. And he stole it good!

Come to think of it, is a_skeleton_03 exposed to any liability if we injected the scraped data into this site?

Now that Craig owns Rerolled.org I wouldn't touch the data with a 10 ft. pole.

Parroting what others have said, I have no ill will towards Craig but I certainly question his judgment. Refusing to release the database doesn't seem like a dick move but more so a protected one especially knowing the mistake he made.

Draegan should have at least given the community a chance to respond before yanking it out from under us.

Possibly. I don't know the legality of it, but for the amount of money thrown around it could be legally his.

Data generated by us in the first place, freely available on the web, reproduced on a not for profit website. I seriously doubt there is any big issue here.

The publicity would probably look pretty bad on good ol Craig though if he fought it. That'd be a plus.

Thing is they're thinking about turning rerollled.org into a TABLETOP GAMING site.

Now before you laugh, fact is "Rerolled.org" is an EXCELLENT domain name for a site dedicated to pen-and-paper gaming. And considering how much they'd have to pay for a squatted domain like "tabletop.com" or "penandpaper.com" or whatever, they prolly lucked out with paying 21k+ for rerolled.org.
Yea, that's a very good point. With the online footprint we created for that domain, it probably is worth 7k+ to him even with the entire community leaving. If they can create new content for it within the next 6 months, that could still end up being a relatively good deal for them in the long run. That's a big IF though, and that's probably why he still preferred to let it go. They'll have to throw more money into it, but the domain name is a great one for a tabletop site, all things considered.

It'll be weird if in 3 years it's a legit website for tabletop gaming and I see other people talking linking me articles on rerolled :-/

haven't really kept up but for what its worth
MMORPG.com buys a small forum for $20K...

admin on that place said:
Yep - we purchased this site a couple months back. However the price was NOT $20,000

It was a giant mistake. The numbers actually were great at 1.5 million page views per month - however the sellers did not really disclose that they were more or less hosting a community on this domain that would just pack up and leave if someone else took ownership.

lol

Like I always say, let this be a life lesson. Who buys a site that most of it is available to anyone and not go look into it. Someone just glanced at stats and didn't look at the actual site. The price you paid is the price of learning a life lesson this time.

Haha awesome.

Of course we knew it was a community forum. What we did not know was that if the ownership changed they would move elsewhere. How could we have known that would happen?

Prior to this happening it was a solid investment and was on track to pay itself off in a year or so (again it was not $20k like the OP stated).

At this point it doesn't matter what he actually paid. Point now is it's not worth what he thought it was because he didn't look at the site, didn't ask. Learn a life lesson and move on dude.

From what I've read on that link, MMORPG.com saved that site, and didn't intend to change anything to it except link it in ad banners. To thank them, that "great" community screwed them big time.
Seems like that "great" community should have been left dying. They didn't deserve that investment.
