You need to make sure your site offers somethign others dont.

You have to liek the topic to get the forums started.

Like dc1pop, to be successful these days, you need to offer something that others dont. It is hard, if not impossible, to create something that hasn't already been done, but that is your job ;)

Pick whatever subject you would like, the more specfic the subject with the largest audience is best, but you also need to do something you're interested in

Just choose which one most interests you and which you have lots of knowledge about it.

If you're not that interested in that topic, chances are you'll lose the interest in the forum itself too. If you're not knowledgeable in that topic, you won't be able to give suggestions/answers to the posts in your forum.

Follow your passion whatever subject that might be and your new community should eventually flourish.

Good luck with your new venture. :)

Something which you know very well and will keep you and the members interested in your forum. As you have already mentioned the categories you like, you should start up with those and subsequently add a few more categories later which are interesting but rare.

Ummm, how about something that most poeple like to chat about all day long! This way they will keep coming back for more.... i think scandals would make a good forum... just my 2 cents :)

stick with what you know best and what will hold your interest in the long run... if you lose interest mid-way, maintaining the forum will seem like a chore..... forum communities are built gradually .... it doesnt happen overnight... so interest is a big factor here.

I'd suggest you work on building/improving your current one before moving onto another forum.

If you have tutorial based items, people are always craving that.

Firstly make sure you pick something you enjoy, as then your more likely to be dedicated to it. And like Dc1pop said, offer something new, something that seperates your sites from the rest.
