Personally I like the response:
"Its not for sale .... but of course as a prudent businessman I am willing to review truely good offers."
If they are serious they will get back to you with more information.

Aren't you rich? Don't take offers from those you don't trust to keep this site what it is, in all its venal glory.
Hello my dear Wejo. I missed and again I sit for a computer and I want to tell to you about the problem now. I spoke with the boss about that to me have now paid the salary that I could pay services to agency for work and renewal of documents. The manager informed me that it is necessary to pay now, but right now I do not have enough money to pay it. The boss has told that I can receive the salary at the end of a month together with all workers, and it is necessary for me now. I very much asked him about this service, but he was rested, annoying and cannot help me. And time goes also to me very much it would be desirable to find now 450 dollars to pay services of the company. At me will be money, but it will be not earlier than in 2 weeks. And I wanted to prepare for this time new documents on me. There can be you could to me now in it help, and I then as I shall receive on work the salary could transfer you of money for your bank account. You will give me coordinates of the account and I shall transfer means for your name. Because I right now should pay, that there was no delay and I could arrive earlier to you, my dear Wejo. such it is possible to tell at me there is a problem. I did not think that my boss of me so will bring and will not understand in this situation. I have told that on Monday I shall leave and I shall not work any more on his company, and I shall demand to pay to me all
relying money. And he has told that I should fulfil up to the end of this month that they could find to me replacement for this time. And then I can leave from this firm. We have sworn, and I left and have told that he the egoist and only looks and searches everywhere for the benefit and on the rest to it to spit. I now in such bad mood, my dear Wejo. me very bad that I cannot begin this process now.... To finish
it more truly is fast. I am very strongly upset. My tender Wejo if you of me can help and help a little I shall be very very grateful to you and I shall necessarily return a duty after to me will pay the salary at the end of this month. I hope that all will be at me and you I was good also very much you I adore and I like!!!! Your princess Lyudmila!
With the barriers to entry being so low and your servers being down or bogged down all the time, and given that all interesting threads are removed promptly, I'm surprised somebody hasn't already come up with a better mousetrap. Oh sure, you've got the branding right now, but there was a little company called Netscape long before there was a company called Google. I'd be looking to sell your stock and buy an upstart competitor at this point.
You should really work on monetizing the site as is. I think a little bit more work on the ad side of things coupled with a subtle change in the layout could work wonders.

Why spend $1000000 on an existing business when you can start a similar business for a fraction of the cost? Spend a few grand, and make a better site than Letsrun. If the product is better, people will us it more.
It's man hours that makes a website better, not money.
While we're on suggestions, I propose that registered users have access to a profile and training/race log that is viewable upon clicking their name. You could even partner with TraningPeaks, Athleticore, Athlinks, or other such site to make this happen.

My comment was directed to the poster who tried to recycle a joke that had already been posted. Do you think that MAYBE my followup punchline from an old joke "Hey, look at that snail's car go!" was an example how others attempt to retell jokes and fail misereably?
Ya think?
$3.5 million + a cup of virgin's blood.
I'm so disenchanted by this discussion. Time to take up soccer.

This might be the funniest post on this thread, IMHO.
So far forums and message boards haven't sold for much, unless there is some 'proprietary technology' or 'intellectual property' or a 'highly recognized staff', or some 'value add' associated with the entity. If you had mandatory registration you could quote those numbers. I don't see much 'original content', only forum posts, abstracts and summaries referencing mostly amateur insider/specialized journalism with some references to authentic news sources. Certified web stats would help, from your server provider, and from stats from key internet backbone routers. Any reference to Alexa stats will certainly raise suspicion and void your sales pitch.
