Default Forums over 10k users - How much to sell?

Just curious to those who have over 10k members what the bottom line you would sell your forum for. I'm not interested in buying any I just wanted to see what others thought their forums were worth.

The pure number of members is not that relevant, the day to day activity is much more of an indicator of how popular a forum is.

Content is also a very significant factor...

Look is not really ultra-important...

A board can look really nice but have crap or non-existant content - I'd rather go for the content and activity than look; Look can be bought, at least alot cheaper than the other two...

We only have 500 users , but there are 140 or so that come every single day and participate, with some over 16000 posts, and that is since April of 2004.

Doubtful - Some of the most popular boards out there have the simplest of designs...

Ok I will rephrase the question for everyone:

What is the minimum amount you would sell your forum for?

I'd sell one mine for probably $200

Another, probably up to $5,000 - It has no community (development) but the site content so far is invaluable and it could prove to be a big site...
