How much? I'm slightly interested in owning a forum to create my dream centered on cartoons, and LF does have a built in community.

I doubt anyone's just going to let you take over Lyokofreak and do whatever suits your whim with it. It's not a corporation, it's a community.
thank you all for the good memories <3

As far as I know, the site is hosted on the old Techlinks servers by Lyoko Computer, who does not come around here too often, but to whom I am very grateful for keeping the site up, even if it is indeed "dying" (as it has been for a while now).

And if it is "dying", as you say, what would be the point of buying it?

Depends on what you mean by running.

If you mean running, as in paying for the server upkeep and technical aspects, that would be Lyoko Computer.

If you mean running as in Mod/Admin-ship, well, you can find that in the FAQ.

However, I'm pretty sure you already know the answer to that second part, Piper.

How much could it be to keep this place afloat?

Someone needs to take the reigns and do something with this place before it dies out. Why don't you do something with LF then Mew?

I'm not interested in turning LF into my own personal forum and dragging it away from what it was originally made for just because it conveniently has a community attached to it. That's just selfish, and whose to say said "built-in" community would stay? You make the people here sound like some "Gift Bonus" in a Billy Mays ad.

Also, even if I wanted to, you forget, I'm not the sole ruling Admin here. We have three other Admins, one of which I know for sure is online as much as I am.

If you want a forum of your own and people visiting it, go do what Starway did when she started LF and get your own forum and build it up yourself. There's plenty of places to network interest in cartoons, and you're crazy if you think someone's going to sell you LF just because you don't feel like doing any work on your own forum.

If you have honest-to-goodness suggestions for how to improve LF why not make a thread or PM an Admin or something and actually let us know?

I've mentioned it time and time before, were all lovers of good cartoon shows here. Why not just change the forum into that? For goodness sake, our community will stick around so long as we continue to have a BKO and General Discussion forum. There is little point, in my mind anyway, we still keep sticking to just Code Lyoko when the show is dead and buried and has little chance of ever returning.

I lol'd through-out this entire topic.

Please tell me you're just playing around, D.T. Evolution. Do you seriously think you could -buy- a forum? :umm:

Then I think a more prudent solultion would be simply adding a new Sub-Forum dedicated to cartoons, which the Admins/Mods can vote on whether or not to do. I do not see why we have to completely revamp and/or delete the old forum when there is still the possibility of CL Discussion to be had.

On a more personal level, I think changing the forum too much would lose it a lot of it's nostalgic charm and personality, not to mention there is a lot of useful information and links to be found in the CL-related forums that can still be of use or reference.

Wouldn't threads related to cartoons go under General Discussion?

But with the members that like cartoons a lot and they still do, it might not hurt LF to have a new sub-forum for other cartoons.

I find it funny that someone is tring to by a website. The only way to actually buy a website is wait for the domain to expire, and get it immediatly after.

And unless LC dosen't feel like paying the bills anymore (which i am guessing this website is on a shared server, so its around $10-30 a month for quality service), this website will stay and always be LC's, although technically the forum is the product of starway.

Mewberries does have a good point though, if you want to start your own forum, get a webhost, get phpBB, learn how to be an admin of a forum, come up with a good general subject and apply it, and advertise (but not spam) your website on other forums, in your sig, or other places. Eventually if its a good forum you will have a large member base.

And changing the forum drastically isn't a good idea. Some people still want to talk about CL, some people still want to read CL updates. This forum would loose its identify if you changed it drastically.

A new subforum though would be nice. Maybe some other interesting cartoons, movies, topics?

Not quite. That's considered domain-squatting IIRC, and it's generally frowned upon. People can buy websites in plenty of ways- Google bought Youtube with a fairly large sum of money, for one example.

No, not really.

To be honest, Lyoko Freak is Lyoko Freak. Assuming that, by some ridiculous chance you did happen to happen upon a site like LF, and you did manage to buy it, and change it into a... 'dream centered on cartoons' then, well, it wouldn't have that base anymore. It's too unrelated.

Lemme put it this way. Imagine if all of a sudden one of the admins decided, in a fit of passion, to turn this website into a shrine to High School Musical and Hannah Montana.
Would you post?
No, because I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want to post there, judging from what I know of you, Piper.

But really, setting up your own website is the way to go! You'll be able to learn alll the tricks of the trade, manage it all how you want, and you'll build your dreamsite from the ground up!
