NamePros.Com - View Single Post - HOW TO SUCCESSFULLY START and RUN A FORUM

Well this has been a very educational thread.

Thanks to everyone.

My buisness partner wants me to create a forum and we have many domains that could be used. However I don't want to run a forum on a topic that I am not an expert in.

For this reason, I am considering developing BumDay.com because it will just be a fun forum with no limitations on the type of people who would like to join.

I think my biggest obstacle will be keeping it fairly clean.

I've joined many forums usually as a way to advertise Domains fitting the category of the Forum.

What I have observed is the lack of people posting, even when many people return to view. Daddy Halbucks Forum is a great example. Plenty of people pop in and out but few post.

I think what has made NamePros so active is the incentive to post, the NP system is the winner, especially as you can give to charity.

I want to incorporate something similar in BumDay.com - "So you think you had a Bum Day Today?" - "Help the people who have a Terrible Day Everyday".

I think this would give my light hearted forum good exposure for press reviews and things.

Any advice would be really appreciated.

Thanks
