lamode 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2005 hm .... may be anime? i would say life talk with decent advice. but that is really depends on how your members behave in your forum. i think that is really hard to start but once you got to certain point you will get some members or some semi expert that will actually provide decent advice. i have joined a forum that they are doing this, i visit the forum quite often, they got 27012 members and 60 average users online.

clagnol 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2005 Your forum should exist for a reason. There must be some initial impetus to join your forum, rather than any of the millions of other fora available on the Internet.Are you creating a forum to serve a purpose, or is it simply to quell your desire for having a forum?

Matt1eD 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2005 The problem with starting a forum is that nobody joins them unless they already have plenty of users. Therefore there is a starting up problem. Nobody likes to make the first post either.If you want some excellent PHP & MySQL forum software visit SIMPLE MACHINES FORUM. You can see mine at MY FORUM.

rejected 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2005 I join many types of forums, many just to talk about crap and enjoy myself. Try to make the forum similar to your website so your visitors will post on the forums. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hulunes 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2005 i think the research you would do is just that you could not mind others advice.because forum can show yourself style and feature,not lie in general,except you wanna get more click rate or busy on your forum.:)what only i want to say is you can do it your best as you could,showing your special feature.if you do not mind welcome to visit my forum.

brandice 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2005 The most important thing is picking a topic that interests you and any friends that you plan on inviting to your site. I give that advice after I made a board about nothing I agree that Simple Machines is the best software to go with, I absolutly love it, and adding extra features is a piece of cake. Mine looks much different than Matt1eD's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iwuvcookies 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2005 The problems with forums is getting people to stay active. You need programs and incentives like Trap to get it going. Like the credits thingy that Xisto has. I think its great. Only if they would open a shop then i would even like it more. but anyways just wanted to say that.

shigajet 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2005 Although Xisto has quite a few good forums out there, I would like to suggest a travel forum if there hasn't been one created already. Whether it's taking a drive across a city/state/province/country or taking a plane (or a boat) oveseas, I think it would be neat if people can share stories of thier travels.

marionfanss 0 Report post Posted May 7, 2005 I usually join music forums because I love music. But I believe you should make the forum about the topic you like, because otherwise, you won't enjoy it. Hopefully you'll meet people with the same passion as you. Good luck with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emperor 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2005 I think that before choosing the theme of the forum you should think what it'll have to do. If you want to earn money or simple get many visitors, the theme should be popular but with a low number of forum about this matter.If this forum would be something useful, it can be a place where discuss about topical interests as politic, science ethic, world's problems, etc...
