Where To Take the Site
Halo 3 is going to be released early next year. This is your chance to get on board, optimize the site and cash in from the blockbuster release of the 3rd edition in the game series.
Furthermore, you should email all past members and get them interested in the forum again. Also, you should continue to build links, market the website, and start monetizing the traffic.
This is a great opportunity to take over an established forum, with a member base and tons of content… you've already got a head start!
Why am I selling?
I work full-time, I have a few part time consulting clients that I also service, plus, I run a few other websites/message boards… There just isn't enough time in a day to do it all!

After receiving payment, I will take care of the entire forum move to your webhost (I've moved a ton of vBulletin forums). It will be running exactly as it is right now.
