why dont you just post here instead of making your own forum? i have been part of several forums that my friend has created and they have all failed.... well had about 10 members each
Its diffiuclt to make, its either hit or miss. Normally its a miss... I've made several forums, even FOR LARGE GUILDS and frankly they just simply fail.
I'd use phpBB to start, its free. But the other problem is finding a good host, unless you use a remote host. But forums like CF for example, have been around for years and they have top listings on Google searches, and it hard for a new forum to survive. Trust me, I've tried many times.
well it also helps when you have so many friends at a forum already (like here) i joined yours cause i know your knowledgable
its like business, you need good PR
Its very hard to make a succesful forum. I feel its hit or miss and a lot of word of mouth. Teen forums tend to fail, well because most of them ar etroubled teenagers, a forum full of troubled teenagers equals a terriable forum.
