Coding is all logic based, and it's very easy to logically break apart the battle system, ratings systems etc.
Why would someone invest in the site if some inactive guy with a negative history on the site remains the one in charge? The owner has no interest in profiting, but you think an investor would still be okay to put in money? What exactly is the "investment" there?

I think you're vastly underestimating the complexity of building something like this. Especially with consideration to the fact that everything is built as a hack to work off of the forum system. There's a LOT of fuckery happening in the backend. I will say that starting from scratch probably WOULD be easier than going in and fucking around with someone else's code. Especially since I'm willing to bet the code for this site is spaghetti as fuck after all the shit it's been through as far as development goes.
