I want to make a forum. Which topic is best?

[Infinity Webspace]

Okay, so I want to make a forum.
This is the best place to ask for ideas.
As it's a Forum Promotion forum. 😎 😎

I need to practice with forums you see.
Never really been into running forums. 😛
Always been into making websites instead.

What topic would you be looking for in a forum?
What "genre" of forum in other words would you join?
I would need members and posts as I can't do it alone.
If I want you to join, I have to make you "want" to join.
So what would you be looking for in this new forum then?

1. Promotion Forum
2. Gaming Forum
3. Webmaster Forum
4. Business Forum
5. General Chat Forum
6. Programming Forum
7. Technology Forum
8. Suggest a Genre

(If you choose "Suggest a Genre" please post below with your suggested genre.
Otherwise please vote in the poll, but feel free to post some comments as well.)

It depends upon your like/dislike. Unless you like the topics/forums in your forum and enjoy posting onto it, nobody's gonna come and post for you. So, go with a genre which interests you.

Anyways, My suggestion will be; Don't make:
1)Promotion Forum
2)Webmaster Forum
3)Gaming Forum
If you want to make forum with the above genre, it is hard/impossible to succeed because of the numbers of forums in this category. Why would someone join a new forum if they can discuss about it already in 1000s old forums?

Other genre are okey, but why don't you go with a new genre whose topics aren't included by any forums?

I think any genre would be good, th only thing that you gotta keeP in mind is that you need to be dedicated and u wont be closing the forum after a month, if u still aint getting a lots of traffic.
I beleive any idea is great and can work if u can keep on holding on it until it takes off.

Good luck with whatever u do 🙂

I have to agree here. I haven't joined any of the promotion forums advertised here on FP. I continue to only use FP. 🙂

As for posting topics in order to get some discussions up that shouldn't be too difficult. But in order for topics to turn into discussions members would be needed as I'm not a fan of making fake members to make the forum look more active as that's simply deceitful, even if it is a technique that works. Also, I may not have much time to sit around and post all day, that's another thing. As I have other commitments to attend to.

Anyway, keep the suggestions coming. 🙂

Here, there really isn't a best forum niche to get into. More of what you like to do and what you have the most background in, that's what will make or break your community. Start a forum based on what you know, what you are experienced in. Have fun with it 😀

 

[etc]

I suggest religion forum 😀 This I think will be messy but you sure can get a lot of debates when you reach millions of radicals

Tech or programming; preferably programming, although I hit tech.
