What is the value of a site that has zero ad value? 

ZERO. 

Spend money to buy HWZ? Even spending 50 CENTS is too much on it, unless it's to shut it down for good.

Can tell from the quality of ads there lately, the bigger companies (the ones that are more likely to pay for those bigger ads in hardwarezone) are using them less now, likely because of the many threads stirring race and religion.

Last time mods don’t act on the reports on stir race/religion threads, scared all the EDMWers run road to other forums like ours. Little did they realise those threads are started by Wumaos to stir and divide each country (CCP like to use old-fashioned tactics like that). A lot of countries are now being stirred and divided in this manner too, but mostly unsuccessful, because Wumaos don’t know how to handle western forums like reddit.

Lately though, there are plenty of police reports filed against EDMW and the admin and mods (no, it’s not just Factuup, a lot of members and public non-members too), then mods boh bian got to moderate the forum by their own stated rules (the irony…). The mods are also scared the mod status go to someone else too (that’s an awesome motivator).

But I believe damage done already, EDMW is permanently tainted liao, ad revenue gone forever.
