Don't forget that the points earned during SP1 are worth 2x the points earned during SP2 at REI.

Plenty of rumours about this going on in the past. I just found a way to more the less calculate this. Might be interesting.
Summitpost is currently the 51,752 biggest website in the world. The domain receives about 7,604 unique visitors and 43,343 (5.7 per visitor) page views per day. Based on this information, you can estimate that it earns about $23 USD per day and gives the site an overall value of $16,653 USD.
========================================================
Chief, this has been discussed at length before. Lots of speculation going on too. I managed to calculate these numbers and decided to share them. They are still an estimate, but should hopefully stop some of the speculation. As Gobriango said, I too would love to buy the site for that amount of money. Not because I think it is worth it right now, but because there is a huge potential.
========================================================
I've been talking about this a month ago, my estimated value was 52.000 dollar.
I even contacted the owners if they would sell this place. I really was thinking and still believe some parts in the code has to change ...
I think it is for the money they would do this. If they wouldn't and really would do it for the mountains and people they would have changed this code 2 ---- years ago!

But what about the time Summitpost has COST you pigfighting on these forums? You're going to have to add that to your spreadsheet.

Yes, but think of the amusement value of that! You can't get that on cable TV or at the movies, and what would it cost you if you could?

Wow. I'd never heard of that before. Googled it. Sure 'nuff.
Both of them are willing to offer some coding for the website because they don't have the chances to go to the mountains that much ...
I'm sharing as much as I can, if you would've bothered to look, you would've seen that.
I don't find this site to be of much use for beta.

I completely agree.
I agree here as well. I've found easy beta to obscure places, even on my cell phone browser. Its pretty cool!
Doesn't need to catalog everything everywhere, but I personally have profited by the contributions to this site.
Cheers
