Indiepublic Has a New Owner!
You may remember me posting a little while back about Indiepublic being for sale. Well it has a new owner! Read below:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Indiepublic Members,
As many of you are aware, I have been searching for a new owner for Indiepublic. I am happy to announce that the search is over, and it is with great excitement that I introduce Casie Metcalf. She has not only proven to be capable both technically and creatively, but perhaps what is most important is her dedication to the indie spirit.
With an interest in vintage and the graphic arts, Casie is native of Maine and the mother of a darling 2 1/2 son. She brings to Indiepublic 10 years of experience in the newspaper industry, with an emphasis on marketing. Casie's skills are therefore perfectly suited to providing additional promotional and advertising opportunities for Indiepublic's members.
To my dear friends at Indiepublic: It has been a pleasure meeting and getting to know many of you, and I wanted to thank all of you for the opportunity to serve you! Although it is with great regret that I leave Indiepublic, I am also equally optimistic about what the future holds.
I am fully confident that Casie is the right fit for Indiepublic, and hope that you will extend to her the same warmth and friendliness that have made Indiepublic such a uniquely wonderful and vibrant community. I hope you will join me in welcoming Casie to our community! =)
Bidding you all a fond farewell,
Sion

A message to all members of Indiepublic
Dear Indiepublic Members,
Due to a number of personal issues that have arisen the past few months I have been unable to dedicate the time necessary to maintaining Indiepublic. Despite this, the site continues to pull in an average of $1200/month income, with less than $45/month in operating expenses.
I sincerely believe that Indiepublic is only in its early stages, and has tremendous opportunity to grow both in terms of membership and services offered. I also believe that the site and its population of over 6,000 members deserves to have a more active leadership.
I am therefore placing Indiepublic up for sale for the price of $18,500. If you are interested in purchasing this site, please email me directly at FORSALE@INDIEPUBLIC.COM, and I will send you a Buyer's Guide that includes:
1) Proof of income
2) Basic information on the running and maintenance of the site
3) Additional information regarding the site's traffic
4) Ideas on additional income sources
SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY. I will not be accepting any offers on the site for less than $18,500. FYI, the sale will be transacted via Escrow.com (a trusted online intermediary). If you are unable to afford this amount (it must be paid in full), or wish to place a lower counteroffer, please do not contact me as I can not sell Indiepublic for any lower than this price.
TO ADVERTISERS: If you currently have an ad in place with Indiepublic, your ad will continue to run for its entire paid duration even if the site is sold. For your protection, I will stipulate that the buyer must honor all existing ads at the time of sale and can not remove them for any reason.
TO MY MEMBERS: I have sincerely enjoyed every moment running Indiepublic. I have met some incredibly talented individuals and made many friends, so it was very difficult for me to come to the decision to sell the site. I will therefore not sell Indiepublic to just anyone. The new owner must have a clear and sincere interest in supporting the efforts of independent artists and designers, and I will work with them to ensure that this will be a smooth transition.
Thank you all for your time, and for being a part of Indiepublic!
Sincerely,
Sion
