What do you think of this offer?

[SaturnElite]

Alright so I created a Genesis A.D. fansite a few hours ago. And I posted a link on the official Genesis A.D. forums. Someone on there joined my forum (the guy seems like a legitimate fan of the game since he did participate in the closed beta test of the game and he has over 400 posts on the official game forums). The guy offered to host my forums on a paid server and get me a domain for free.

Obviously I told him no, since it, well, sounds too good to be true. He says he would even let me change the accounts on the paid server (thus denying him access and leaving me as the only admin), and that all he wants in return is the money revenue from the ads generated. Currently I'm using a free forum hosting company without a domain (ZetaBoards).

So, what do you think of this offer, I'm not sure if he's being legit or not. He claims that he is doing it for the ad money and because he wants to help the Genesis A.D. community (and my fansite is the first and only fansite for the game; excluding private clans). Also, I believe it would cost me money to transfer my forum from ZetaBoards to his paid host (ZetaBoards would charge a fee).

I wouldn't go for it. I would get paid hosting somewhere else and keep the revenue for yourself.
