    It's a celebrity gossip site, with active forums in: news, politics, health and fitness (user weightloss logs), beauty (with makeup reviews), plastic surgery, random and a private talk section, celebrity plastic surgery, tv, music, books, food and cuisine with a recipes section.

    it's 2 months old.

    Holy crap... 2 months old??? You're beating the piss out of my 2-year-old forum.

    How much it's worth is gonna depend on profitability. You'd do well to put some advertising on the site for a couple months so people have something to base its value on.

    Nice forum, seems very active.
    I'd say over $5000, maybe over $10,000, but you're never going to get a rough idea unless you put adsense or an alternative up. Also think about other ways to make revenue, Advertising peoples eBay celebrity clothing auctions for $$? Makeup advertorials? Plastic surgery affiliates? Food recipe ebooks? Loads of possibilities...

    People don't care much about the forum, only how much money they can make from it, so you need to milk it for its potential without annoying the users. Once you have an average daily income figure, come back and post it :)

    I'd leave at least 2 weeks for the figure if you're desperate, otherwise 1 month is probably recommended.

    Hey thanks for the good idea :)

    I'm just looking to get rid of it because hosting is expensive, and I don't really want to turn it into a money making venture if ya know what I mean :p

    It's also linked to on some big celebrity gossip sites.

    I agree with the put Adsense up on it to see how it produces idea. You'll find it easier to justify a good price on it if you can show it produces income with Adsense (or similar). Heck, you might find it produces so well you'll decide to keep it after running the ads for a while. Or not. ;)
