This auction includes full ownership of both the domain and the custom codebase.

I shut this website down for a while to save on hosting costs, but I've fired up the server for this auction. It has SEO-friendly URLs, somehow was approved for AdSense (I'm not going to promise you're going to get approved, but I'd definitely pull the COVID / political pranks down before submitting for approval).

This website is a prank website, I had a similar site years ago that did well (and eventually sold) so I coded this from scratch with inspiration from that website.

Features:
- People can create their own pranks that look like news articles when shared on social media: [redacted]
- URLs are always SEO-friendly. For example: [redacted]
- Funny GIFs: [redacted]
- Close-call GIFs: [redacted]
- Funny pictures: [redacted]
- People can clone pranks they like, modify them, and create their own based off of them (it has built in detection to ensure they make edits so duplicates are prevented): [redacted]
- Built-in prank throttling to prevent spamming
- Built-in images (or users can upload their own)
- Latest pranks: [redacted]
- Top pranks: [redacted]
- You can add GIFs and images in the database (there isn't an admin panel but SQLyog makes this easy)
- You can inflate the number of views (as I've done for most pranks) in the database.
- You can specify image titles (and change them) in the database.
- Users can make their pranks private so they don't show up on the Top Pranks and Latest Pranks page (and can't be cloned).
- Responsive design.

Technology:
- MySQL
- Laravel
- Built with security in mind.
- Google Cloud Platform (Google Cloud Storage*, Google Compute Engine)
- jQuery
- Twitter Bootstrap (Responsive)
- You'll need Google Cloud Storage for the website to work unless you convert it to use another storage method (see Laravel docs)

Support:
- I will give you general instructions on what you need to do in order to get this online using your server (I'll continue to host it for 7 days after the sale). My instructions will assume that you're familiar with this kind of thing.
- If you need any customizations or help transferring the site beyond the instructions (I'll give you files and a zip of images that you'll need to upload to Google Cloud Storage), my rate for this will be $65/hr billed in 15m increments (rounded up) with a minimum billable amount of 1 hour. I can convert it to host images on your own server if you prefer, but that's a customization and this rate applies. If you're not a familiar with transferring sites to a different host, please account for an additional $65.
- Domain and website is being sold AS-IS. While I've done my best to be transparent, technologies change, vulnerabilities are found, and it's up to you to keep the packages used up-to-date to prevent security issues. It's also up to you to review the site, test it, and make sure it's what you want.

You will own the domain and the complete rights to the codebase (i.e. to run, sell, modify and sell copies of, whatever, it'll be yours). I will delete the codebase from my machine once everything is finalized, and I will no longer have the right to use it. Nobody else other than me has this codebase as it was custom built and never sold.

Tips for testing out the site:
- Create a prank, duplicate a prank, or click share on a prank and look at how it appears in your social media preview (and look at the link)
- View the images and GIFs

Upon sale, the domain will be removed from this post.

Starting Bid, Bid Increment, and BIN all have been reduced.

This is a custom site built from scratch, plus a domain that can be used for other purposes if you choose.

Auction almost over.

Whoever wins please message me to complete the transaction.


Edit: winner never messaged to complete the transaction within the 24 hour timeframe listed in the ad. No hard feelings here, but I was ready to fulfill my obligation even though they tried to retract their bid against NamePros policy. Closing this thread as unsold.
