I guess it is. This is the explanation:

It's selling for $75,000. That's a big wad of cash!

... Doesn't Lee own the site at the moment. Doesn't Lee own three other large sites? Does that not sound an awful lot like Lee? If that is not Lee, then can ZU be sold? I am confused? Wait, that's not a question...

I'm sorry if this post doesn't really have a point, but I'd like a response to the obvious question that is "What the?" and will hereby be awaiting the answer to that question.

An owner is an owner. All I really care about is ZU staying the way it is, with maybe even a few changes. Plus, like he said, he has a big responsbility with all the forums he runs. Poor guy doesn't have the time to watch over all of them.

Yeah and if you read into it a little it says the person who posted is from Texas, I'm pretty sure that is where Lee lives, I think it is true. ZU is up for auction once again.

I believe more than one person lives in texas brolik. I dunno, i dont mind, if its for sale, it might just mean someone else will own it and not actually run it

Does anyone else find it kinda funny when reading through that thread? It's interesting what the people say about the website. I didn't realize that websites like these could go for that much money. But, I guess when they generate $4,000 of revenue per month... That'll add up.

Well, I hope that whoever buys it is dedicated and willing to put a lot of work into the site. Hmmmmm... If only I had $50,000 to blow... But, alas, all I have is $45,000...

well I guess it might just be true, althought that whole selling bit around it is a little confuseing but I think that ZU is once again up for sale on the market.

I just read through the posts.

Some of those people are demonic.

This one person says that we should start being charged to see what used to be free.

Things like the wallpapers, and videos and stuff.

I bet we'd even have to pay for membership.

That would suck so bad, that I would leave here forever.

I hope we don't get someone like that.

Wow!

I feel slightly guilty for saying that I never realized it was sold once already =/

To my Zelda friends:

I am kicking around the idea of selling this marvelous community if two things happen:.
1. I find a buyer who will have ZU's best in mind.
2. I get an offer that is reasonable.

I have not been around much lately due to many reasons, much of which I hadn't expected. I feel as though I have been quite neglectful of ZU over the past 2 months. This site deserves better and hopefully will have better. Thanks for your understanding.

Lee
Your Humble Overseer

Heh... it's like a site selling craze. Lars didn't pick the right person it seems. Sorry, but the way how things are looking, it's true that Lee didn't do much for the site. Unless he did, but I see no difference.

Wowsh..nice find bob23, you marvellously thwarted the secret trade of ZU!

673,626 - total posts
95 - My posts to date

My calculations show that my posts account for 0.014% of the total forum content and I shall expect this will be my share of your total sale price.
- Let's estimate that you sell the old dog for 75,000..
My math skills pretty much end here but I'll give it a shot anyway..hm:
My share is somewhere around the mark of $7.50. Let's round that up to $10 and I assume that inflation would bring it to about $15.

That's $15 dollars Lee. Pay up!

Just joking ya...good luck with the sale.

Really, how did you manage to stumble upon this? Do you regularly browse the forum where that was posted?

Well, if the site gets sold to someone bad, there's only one thing to do... Spam as much as possible and leave.

Who would of thought Lars gave $75,000 to Lee?

I think that the Webmasters will make sure it's sold to someone good, because they care about the site more than money. At least I hope so.

Still, it's interesting to see just how much people would pay for ZU.

Lars didn't "give" Lee the site. That was a sale, too.

How much did Lee pay?

Who knows?

This question will remain unanswered unless Lee himself wants to answer it. It's really between Lars and Lee, not all of us. Let's not have speculation.

Ok... Anyways don't sell it to that jackass that just cares about money. I'd spam so much...

Hopefully it doesn't come to that.
