The sometimes controversial yet popular discussion forum spitvalve.com.au is looking for a new owner.

The current 'boss' is unable to continue with the site due to extenuating circumstances.

High readership

The number of closet spitvalve readers is huge!Spokesperson for spitvalve.com.au

Since its inception almost 4 years ago, the site has weathered heavy criticism yet still maintains a large readership. A spokesperson for the site told 4BR: "The number of closet spitvalve readers is huge!"

Potential

Although its potential to earn an income is high, the current owner has resisted the temptation to commercialise the site.

If you are the owner of an ABN or ACN and are interested in negotiating the takeover of spitvalve, please contact the current forum owner via the discussion board by sending a private message (PM) to the 'boss'.

All enquiries will be treated in confidence.
