This listing pertains to a prominent programming forum and a companion blog site, which have collectively been aiding programmers worldwide for a decade. The forum facilitates discussions in various popular programming languages and attracts roughly 185,000 unique monthly visitors, predominantly via organic searches. Since adding a blog in September 2014, the network’s overall visitor count has grown substantially to around 250,000 unique visitors and 350,000 page views each month.
Revenue primarily stems from advertisements, including CPC and CPM models, and content licensing, generating an average of $1,600 monthly. There are fixed and variable operational costs of $330 for IP.Board hosting and $220 for content contributions, respectively. A recent partnership with a content platform promises an additional $475 monthly, indicating future revenue growth potential.

All necessary accounts related to content and advertisements will be transferred to the new owner. This change in ownership is sought due to the current owner's desire to pursue new projects.
