Sell it, if you can, before the forum becomes so inactive. Then no one will want it.

Maybe you could just get new members, even a few could infuse your forum with fresh life.

If you are in need of a forum then it is better to revive an old one instead of creating a new one. At least the old one is already established and running, no technical issues, I guess. In reviving, it’s just the same as getting new members for a new forum. You have to make a relentless promotion of your forum and if possible, you can hire content providers so your old forum will have a semblance of activity. One good thing going for an old forum is you can easily invite existing members.
