Hi everybody,

And a hearty welcome. I've spoken with many of you at other forums. I've helped many at Sitepoint with the buying and selling of their websites, sometimes in public and more often than not in private. I've assisted people at Webmasterworld, Digital Point, Warriors Forum and elsewhere.

I've written on topics as varied as site buying and selling, valuation, due diligence, dangers surrounding the use of escrow, how to choose a business broker, the Top 101 Ways of Earning Money Online and much else. But the bulk of my time is spent dealing with emails and private enquiries.

The time has come to make it an open dialogue, to be able to take your questions on a forum, provide answers that assist a wider audience and encourage discussion and debate on the buying, selling and, indeed, running of internet businesses.

Several experts on internet businesses have promised their support and you should be seeing them in the forum answering questions.

It's a common login and password for the forums and blog: Sign up now.

I look forward to chatting with you. This thread is now open for your posts.

I can be reached via PM and via webmaster @ this domain (for example, if you're newly registered and find I've spammer blocked you, drop me an email)

Reputation system now added. You gain reputation with age of account, number of posts and for every 100 points of reputation you have. There are limits to how much of rep you can dole out per day and to how often you can give it to the same person.

At the moment there is no min rep you need before you can hand rep out. That will change later on.

So how do we hand rep out anyway?

n/m I figured it out, you have to click on the little star at the end of the post.

Rep power seems to be 0 for everyone, I think reps won't count until you set it 1

**tke71709** · January 16th, 2010, 03:16 PM

I tired repping your post DomainMagnate and you're still at zero.

Ah, OK, I'll take a look at this tomorrow. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

There doesn't seem to be an option to set to 1. I can set what each user gets on registration. I've set that to 10 but even that is not working (except, apparently for me). OK, will come back to this later.
