Making A New Forum...

[haha21]

Well my tech forum ain't working out...
I need to make a forum that all people are interested in...

But what type of forum can it be?
Suggestions?

[Mr. Blunt]

A everything forum?

[Donnie Darko]

A everything forum :01:

[haha21]

Right now I have a tech forum and I have an off-topic section is that good enough?

No not at all

[haha21]

What!?
Give me any opinions to make my forum better thank.

[j4y3m]

You can make a forum about anything you want, it's just all about the advertising.

[haha21]

Well I tried
But its hard...
If anyone wants to help thanks.

I need a sucessful forum.

[ZaZu]

Why do you need a sucssesful forum?

[haha21]

experince...

[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

That doesn&#39;t sound right :x .

[nukemdomis]

I just registered on your forum do you can say that this topic is responsible for 1 more member..........



any others?

It&#39;s tough starting a forum. I have about 8 or 9 forums that i run. Most are successful, some aren&#39;t. You just have to stick with a project once you start. If you aren;t getting many people, try advertising in a different way. Don&#39;t just drop the idea after a week of failure. Forums take time to develop. Keep people interested, come up with something original, and even possibly have people make posts for you in exchange for something.

goodluck
