What's the Phoenyx worth?

http://www.leapfish.com/analyze.php?url=phoenyx.net

Whoa.  I'm just glad I don't have to pay personal property taxes on that.

If I did, I'd rather use this valuation:

And contrary to this, you couldn't pay us enough to put even a text ad on 
it:

(Fun, but ultimately useless...)

My blog is worth 9 grand?

Back in the world of real money, the Amazon affiliate links I've had on 
my blog for the past year have earned enough to buy *one* Polish 
prog-rock album, which came in the post this morning :)

Huh, I ran my workplace's domain name through it and it came back as being worth about $2,700. At their rates, most of the partners here bill at least 20 to 50 times that in a month.

Clearly they need to purchase a domain name worthy of their status... for 
instance, phoenyx.net.  (Hey, I said I'd never advertise on the Phoenyx, I 
never said we'd never change domain names.  We could always go back to 
phoenyx.wichita.ks.us...)

Ads (on the non-Phoenyx domains around here, chiefly Fudge Factor) haven't 
managed enough AdSense earnings to actually cut a check yet.  I think they 
*might* pay for the electricity to run the server.

I'm liking the idea of selling the domain name, though.  Incorporate as a 
non-profit, sell the domain for a quarter-mil, put the money in a trust 
(else the capital gains would kill us) and pay the sysadmin and software 
developer a salary so they could work on the Phoenyx and Gamehawk 
full-time... that would give us three, four *years* to spin off Wirebird 
into a paying venture to keep the trust replenished.  I don't think the 
Phoenyx has enough name recognition right now that changing domains would 
hurt it at all, sadly enough, and we've got other domains that would work 
just fine (perhaps even better) for a game site.

I can't imagine anyone paying that in real life, though.
