$3 at taco bell or just about any foodplace for that matter wouldn't really buy you a legit dinner these days.

Priceless in terms of effort doesn't translate into actual worth.

I could spend 1,000 hours on something that people aren't interested in or is useless.

(Just playing Devil's advocate, of course.)

Perhaps in Korea, this site would be worth 5 times that amount.

But when you "sell" teamliquid you don't sell its userbase. It's like when google bought youtube, the userbase stayed the same.

TL is the largest Starcraft site on the scene, a portal that has been up for over 7 years and features a massive userbase, tons of original content and commands significant influence over the wider community. If you'd sell that for 200k, well... let's just say you are in desperate need of financial advice. For that amount they'd probably get half a sidebar or something though.

LOL I just imagined Rekrul buying this site with pokermoneyz, then instilling his tyranny on all of TL!

No chance in hell. Plus I'm sure TL is worth more than that.

who really owns TL.net anyway nazgul/drone? Like who would get the money if someone ever did buy the webpage?

top #11 for sweden is "www.hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.com"

Which has 65 pageviews / day.

I think this is somewhat flawed haha

Edit: That page doesnt even exist.



Haha, good catch. I thought there was something wrong when I saw Indian porn being ranked #7, never thought the americans had an indian fetish.

Much more intrigued about the $319.21 of daily ads revenue and if that number is anywhere close to reality.

Also wonder how much goes into running this site.


I wouldn't be the one to ask, but I believe that $319.21 of daily ads revenue is estimated from the number of pageviews daily and is not TL's actual earnings per day.

If you estimate that TL earns $10 per day now and an amount per day that scales with the interest rate for the next 20 years (a lifetime for websites), then you would get the more modest $73,000 as the present value for TL.

Our members don't click ads =/ We make enough to pay for the server and we bank the rest. We have used the extra money for liquibitions, and we have paid for some flights to Blizzcon/other events.

TL doesn't have any tangible value (code, employees, products, etc), TL is a meeting place for many people everyday. Anytime you have an established place with a reputation there is the potential to make money. Any TL buyer would be buying the TL brand and meeting place. Potential buyers I talked to in the past did not understand that and simply looked at the tangible assets.

That being said, I think people who volunteer time here value the place and work far more highly than what someone would be willing to pay for it. Also, so many people have spent so much time on it, how do you split up the money? Naz and Meat could take it all, but they aren't those kind of people. Where is the cut off for "you deserve something", and "you don't deserve something". There isn't really. That is some of the same thinking that prevents us from paying people to contribute. Where do you draw these lines?

These are just some of my thoughts on the issue of "value" and TL, something I have given a lot of thought to.

It's like... Nazgul? I think said. The value we place on the site would NEVER be the value seen by a buyer. Fortunately Nazgul/Meat rock and I would never sell it anyways.
