    If you could give me a rough estimate on how much it's worth I'd be greatful.

    Traffic averages about 1500 uniques per month, though in janurary it was twice that. I don't think stats are necessary as this isn't a sale.

    It'd be great if someone could give me an estimate. I don't know if it's worth $100 or $1000. (though I suspect it's more towards the latter)

    It is a good domain for the show.. but at only a few bucks per month it is probably more towards the former than the latter. The adsense seems to be very poorly targeted-- always keying on the PHPBB aspect rather than the TV show. To be worth more than $100 you'd have to find someone who believes they could monetize it better and increase the traffic.. or do it yourself and improve the value.

    I would not say anywhere near $1000, but some people may disagree.

    Alright, thank you both. I've seen forums with 100 posts sell for 200 bucks, so I though a forum with 16 times as many post would fetch more.

    It'd be awsome if someone could give me a rough estimate.

    This thread should really be posted in the Appraisal forum. This forum is only for website reviews and such.

    Your site is worth low to low-mid $xxx range at the moment.

    I was going to post it there, but it's under domain names. :/

    Thanks for the comment nonetheless.

    You should setup the in-line banner mod for your forums. You would have to use something other than Adsense with this mod though, since it is against the TOS. AdBrite would be a good alternative. Also, using vBulletin would make your site more valuable since vB is the most respected forum software.

    Without proof of substantial traffic, I estimate the site is worth about $100-$200.
