Would everyone who funds this theoretical Kickstarter then own a piece of the site, or would we all agree to leave it in one person's hand, or a consortium of users? |
I think it could be done with a sort of representative democratic comittee leading it.

It would be more ideal to profit off a sustainable business model than to just break even, would it not? Rhetorical question, of course.

Who should that profit be paid out to? What I meant by break even is that all surplus money should be reinvested in the site to further improve quality

How much would VGChartz cost? well the website isn't maintained well I am willing to join a kickstarter but I won't invest more then say, $10 so all-in all even if all people who post here do that it won't end up being a gigantic amount and there is also things like the website will need to keep running so there will be yearly costs.
And the horrible adds to give revenue so the person selling will want more upfront cash then the add revenue gives for at least the next 4 years, thats how buyouts work |
Well, if 1000 users pay $10, that's $10 000, which ain't bad. Considering the amount of users here using adblock while browsing, and the relatively low userbase, I can't imagine the site being that costly to buy.

What do you mean?

You underestimate the worth of this site. The site itself would be more then $1m, but that is without accounting for potential ad revenue in the future. And it might be discounting the sister sites.
VgChartz is minisculue compared to Gaf, but almost all other similar sites are miniscule compared to VgChartz.
