In fact, Forumwarz is the Internet…in game form. Magical dragon-faeries? Flaxen-hair’d elflords? Dank scary dungeons, reminiscent of Grandpa’s basement? Kids’ stuff. In Forumwarz, you can pwn trolls in ridiculous web forums…buy hacked warez from shady Russian websites…or upgrade your skills with breast implants, malt liquor and antidepressants. Start playing now

I’ve been researching the value of this blog, not just the domain but the content as well. You can either determine the value of a website manually; Ghacks lists one such method. You can also request a paid evaluation of your domain / site from several services if you are really keen on selling. One method to give you a rough idea of valuing your website is to use an automated tool.
