I'll give you an example of what he's talking about. Like me, I love being able to talk about whatever I want, So I started up a general chat board. However, I love going on Webmaster forums like FP, and AF, so I threw a little Forum Discussion in there, and sometime during the week I'm thinking of expanding Marie 1988 and adding more things to talk about. One of my members gave me a nice list of suggestions to add, and I'm going to try a few of them. One of them I thought of, being as we are on a free host, is a ProPHPBB technical feedback thread. What that would be is, say if there's some bugs that people are finding on Marie 1988, they'd post in that forum, and then, unless the problem gets noticed before I can see the thread, I will look at the thread, and then I'll know to take the problem to the support forum. So I got some changes I want to make, but that won't happen until the beginning of next week. But really though, just decide on what you really like to talk about, and then create a forum about it.

Everybody gets banned from DP. I read somebody who wrote a thread about how not to get banned or something similar got banned.

Link? And what did they say to justify it?
DP just loves to ban you when you're in the middle of selling/buying something.
They're a bunch of scrubs, to be honest.
Now back on topic - how about making a forum related to arcade games or something? IDK - I'm not the best at finding forum ideas.

The most successful forums that take place are such things that are thought of yourself. Something no one else has even thought about making. Something new to everyone. It will make them curious and if it interests them, they will join. If you make something like that, others will try to copy you, sure. But they will only be competing in a lose - lose situation as you would have been the first to make it and if you keep them entertained, then they will not go to a different forum like the one you made because yours will be bigger and better than the person that is trying to copy you.
You see many advertising boards now days. Why do people not join them much? Because, it's simple. MANY of them are exactly the same things..same forums, same groups, same software, same topics, same everything.
Key is..If you think of things that are unique, it will be successful.

Just because you get banned on "competition" forums, doesn't mean you shouldn't still do it. In fact, there are some sites (I think FP is one of them even) that'll allow you to advertise forums the same genere as theres.
