I had many forums some time ago... Its very easy to setup them ;)
But if you want to make it popular, try to makake about something popular

I plan to just start running a forum. I hope to find a good host for this.

I just created a forum using the mybb forum software. I tried phbb, but did'nt like it, so switched. Got it up and running quite fast.

puffin · 09-21-2007, 01:01 PM

Sandyfeet, Puffin, corycaly - Good luck to you guys.

puffin · 09-23-2007, 11:38 AM

I prefer SMF. only problem with SMF is that there aren't many nice templates for it.

You must give Something to users for Developing the Forum Or the forum must Contain the Useful Info

I own a couple dead ones. I am Admin of one that is cruising happily though :)

I used to run a free forum for my classmates but finally had to shut it down ( school orders ) because of some controversies. It wasn\'t a pretty and fanciful one, but I had 93 classmates register in it :D

I agree on that. Otherwise a forum won't succeed.

suresh · 10-01-2007, 08:53 AM

I had runnig the forum since more than one year and have good faith to bring it up but need more money

Maverick · 10-01-2007, 09:57 AM

Nope, but I am planning one. I think it's quite hard to run a forum, specially in the beginning when you have to attract people to join it and post in them.
