I am building a website, and I am thinking of including a forum on the website. The website is specific to one city. What would be good topics for the forum?
As I get the site near competition I will give out the URL for comments and suggestions.
Well, if it's going to be a local thing, you're probably going to want an area for local events, job postings, news, service listings and so on and so forth. It'll probably be up to you to reach out to local business also. That actually has a lot of potential if the city doesn't already have a website.
I think some good topics would be: News, Business Openings/Closings,Local Politics, Jobs, Real Estate, Sports, Events, School/College happenings, and Crime. It would be good to survey users every once in awhile too to see what they want. Let us know what you end up choosing and the URL.
