Ok first things first.Sleepytom the site is actually built in Joomla and not Wordpress so don't be so quick of the mark to pass heavy Criticism. The content is taken from other sites as we have tried to compile some of the best info around for the viewer to read. It kinda hard to review something if you have never used it.

The idea was to get as add as much content as we could. Its a massive project and im sure all of you can see as you go through the links. I believe we have done well in creating something with this much info and in one place. It is much more than "quick wordpress install and some basic content (most of which is copy and pasted from other sites)" A fellow Vj should maybe understand the size of this task and share a bit more constructive criticism rather than shooting someone down.

We also have quite a few registered users at present.

Personally, I think the likelyhood of a sale for such a domain name is limited. There as you well know, well known and travelled sites out there (this being the obvious one IMHO), that manage to run without ads, and are regularly moderated and most importantly up to date. The most up to date software post on your site being Resolume 3.3.1!

It seems like it started off as a VJCentral orientated site, that has over time lost focus, and with the domain name renewal coming up is in a bit of a stagnent position.

Ok I amend my criticism.

All you have done is a quick basic Joomla install - then you have copied and pasted (ie stolen) content from 3rd party websites to flesh out your structure. Even this copy and paste job shows a remarkable lack of insite into the VJ scene as it stands in 2012 (and even as it stood in 2009). I'm allowed to say this, I've earned the right to this opinion, as i've spent more time answering peoples questions on VJing than most people have. I've probably spent more time actually writing original content and answering peoples questions than you've spent on the entire development of VJingPro.com

I perhaps understand the size of the task better than anyone in the world. That's why i'm able to criticise, you really haven't created something of much value, you've done some basic web development and have failed to add value to it. I would give myself pretty much the same critique with VJCentral.com I failed to produce a site which had enough relevance to todays internet and VJ scene for it to be take up by the users, thus the content became increasingly irrelevant, currently it is offline as the content was too lacking to be relevant in todays world and the site wasn't being used much.

Sorry if it sounds like i'm annoyed - I kind of am a bit, you came here at the start of your project and asked people what they thought about your idea of creating the "Biggest VJing Site Ever" and people suggested that you could get more involved with VJCentral instead of going it alone, but you choose to simply take our work as a basis for your own site concept and then produce something with little in the way of original content. Now you return to try and sell the site and your surprised by this reaction?

Really if you think that a joomla + some copy and pasting from manufacturers websites and pixmania.com is actually worth anything then your perhaps just a little deluded?
