Well, I officially give up trying to manage the site:
http://www.blogring.net
I purchased this site just 2 weeks ago, and I just can't seem to find a server big enough, and a hosting company I feel I can trust. This forum is massive, and in the right hands, is ready to explode even more.
It is 3 years old, and has a
pr 4
Currently it has:
1,606,597 posts
222,034 registered members
90,000+ topics
It is ranked in the top 600 forums in the world for post count at big-boards.com.
It has over 48,000 pages indexed at Google and over 60,000 pages that contain the url 'www.blogring.net'
It is currently averaging around 5000 daily uniques, but this is mostly because of server delays:

The site has all kinds of cool hacks like blogpoints store, auction, arcade, and picture gallery.
It is currently optimised for xanga search terms, but I was building it up for myspace (one of the most pop searches on the net right now) as well.
The site was making a solid $1k/month from adsense alone in it's heyday. Actually the old owner claimed it was making $2k including regular bannerads, which I guess could be true if they paid by impression. I am currently getting about 40,000 impressions a day the way it sits, so you do the math.
I am only selling this because I just dont know enough about mysql, servers, scripting and all that other stuff that this site apparently needs attention to. It would be perfect for someone who is server skilled.
I have the server paid for the rest of the month so you will have time to move it.
I am accepting offers over $9k. Looking for a quick sale. This is a rare opportunity. There are so many possiblities. In the right hands, I am sure you could make it a six-figure site.
