[1] Political discussion forum aimed at a younger audience

    - Relatively easy to setup.  vBulletin or phpBB would do.
    - Needs seeding with lots of posts in order to even begin to pull
      real people in.
    - Fighting spam posts is a daily reality.
    - Site depends on converting enough eyeballs into posters
      (not just lurkers) in order to gain position and value
    - Monetization through AdSense
    - If it gets real traffic you can sell advertising space directly
    - Some affiliate potential
    - Liquidation is far more likely to take the form of selling
      through a site flipping service
