Sorry if this is a little long-winded, please hold on!
About a year ago I was really into the game 'Halo 2' on the Xbox games console. So I started a website as a little hobby for me and my son. Anyway, it turned into quite a big thing so I used it for Google AdSense adverts and it made a decent amount every month. A few months ago I lost interest in it so handed the site over to someone else. He's decided to close it down now as he's sick of it as well! The thing is, it still gets a lot of traffic. At the moment I've just put a 'closed' message with some adverts on, but is it actually worth trying to sell?

It's only got standard webstats and I don't really understand them, but here they are...

That looks to me like a decent amount of traffic? The site had/has a Google PR of 3, and the forum a PR2. The traffic will keep coming (I think) as the site is linked to in loads of places (YouTube mainly, but loads of others as well).
So, any thoughts? Is it worth anything? Would it be worth trying to sell or best to keep it as it is? The guy who took over from me just wants rid of it, but I said it was worth putting up a 'closed' message for now just to let the regular visitors know what's happening.
