Current Bid: $2,750k on another forum.

I purchased this site two months ago (April 21, 2005) thinking I could manage another site but I just do not have time to manage it with my other sites in my portfolio.

I have also added a forum but sorry vB license is NOT included.

Just thought I'd mention, nice site
Starcraft is still one of my favorite games... and I've had it since it first came out - 6 or so years ago!
