Yup, it is for sale and the owners even approached me asking if I'd like to buy it, but the owners are delusional. They want six figures. Honestly, it is only worth at most probably $5,000 and that's just for the programming of it. And that's very likely being quite generous. The forum is dead, they haven't moderated it in YEARS, and spam (not to mention rules-breaking posts) has destroyed its reputation. It once was touted by YouTuber helper channels, such as Video Creators (Tim Schmoyer's channel) and they were even active here. That's how I learned of it. But that was ten years ago.
Rhodey Seth is right. Right now the discussion is over at r/NewTubers and r/YouTubers BUT those have their own problems. One of the biggest is that they're popularity forums. Unpopular (a.k.a. controversial) posts and replies can be literally voted out of existence. That's bad as some of the best discussions are controversial. Another problem is no sub-forums so all posts are tossed into a big bucket without any separation so you have to weed through a TON of posts (most of them very repetitive) to find something that you actually want to read. Yes, there are Reddit groups that have tighter focuses BUT they're ghost towns. I've seen many started and then just go nowhere due to lack of traffic, such as r/LetsPlayCollab, r/Struggling_YouTubers, and r/CreatorServices to name just a few.
As for starting up a new forum, it is possible but it would be quite the challenge. Over the last several years, I have been approached by some of the THEN-regulars here to start one with them. They wanting me as a partner and/or moderator. I've always been receptive and offered my suggestions for how it could be done, even improved. Some have gone so far as gotten prototypes up and running but none have been able to succeed as the biggest problem is driving traffic to them. That's a LOT harder than most people believe it is. I have always advised them that if they're serious, they have to buy sponsorships on YouTuber helper channels or at least buy advertising on them, but none have listened. They all believe "If I build it, they will come." But what do I know. I've only been a marketing consultant for three decades. In fact, right now, another regular here is trying to do such a feat (I think I'll label it as "Attempt #246"), but I won't mention her/his/its name so to avoid them getting prematurely banned from here ... though that would take active moderation by the owners. Spam anyone? I'm sure when s/he's ready, s/he'll make a public announcement here.
