I'm guessing he didn't know how to manage it properly to get activity flowing to the site. That's usually what happens when someone wants to sell a site. Or they want to make profit off of their finished product 
Maybe he didn't have enough time to manage it, who knows. But from the activity and lack of content in the forum itself, i'm guessing he just didn't understand how to get something going like that. It takes quite a bit of effort to get over the first hill and attract a few first committed members. After that it's easy, but if you don't do anything and you don't keep up with it, you'll end up in the ditch you started in.
