Making A New Forum...

[vivitron 15]

there are 2 ways to build a successful forum

1. Set it up for RL mates to post jokes and take the micky out of each other - this prob wont grow very much at all though

2. Set up a forum for a piece of software/new tv show/service (like a BT forum) - this will grow roughly proportionate to whatever it is that people use the forum for - eg. this forum was built around k-lite, so as k-l got popular, so did the forum


at the end of the day, anything you set up "for the sake of it" is going to have already been done: a tech forum is pointless, if i had a prob id come here/go to an already large tech forum, cos id get a quicker answer


i dont mean to sound negative, but you need a "pull" - something to set your forum aside...why not write some software if you can? use the forum for news about it
