What was the very first forum you started?

[Murder he Wrote]

Mine was a general chat forum hosted on myfreeforum. I wasn't a believer in short domain names back in those days, anyway the site can be found here -> http://generaltalk2007.myfreeforum.org/

You can see it has really prospered ~lol~

~surprise~ No idea you started with phpBB!

Do you guys with failed sites have linkys?

 

[Cloverfield]

Yeah mate, myfreeforum all the way, my favourite free forum software.

 

[Watch Me Sink]

Cloverfield,

have you ever had a forum that didn't succeed?

 

[Cloverfield]

Yeah, but thats mainly because i left them allto fully concentrate on the FFF. If you have more than 1 small forum, it's not really gonna work. Then, once the FFF was big, I then made the 2nd one (CMF). I won't make anymore now...those 2 are it 🙂

My first forum was intended to be a gaming forum, but I messed the URL up. It was http://news.eamped.com

Second one had the correct URL, but failed horribly. (Never promoted) It was http://corgigamers.eamped.com

After that, I changed the name to Wild World Crossing (bad choice, but a step up from "Corgigamers"). Hacked once, then lost a bunch more posts after FF crashed. Was (still exists) http://wildworldcrossing.freeforums.org

Had a few other forums that were never known outside of my brain. (Were never opened officially.) Some were (lost track, since I had signed up for so many free hosts) http://wildworldcrossing.freehostingnow.com, http://wildworldcrossing.my2gig.com, and http://corgigamers.phpbbstar.com.

Then, I registered for a free PC Core account, and opened some forums on it. They had a few posts, but not much. I forgot the URL, but it doesn't work anymore.

After that, I bought hosting from LunarPages. I transferred my DB from the free PC Core account, and started getting posts/members. (Died shortly thereafter)

In February, I changed the name to Zyetendo, and traffic poured in. I got more traffic in a week with Zyetendo, then the best two months of Wild World Crossing.

That seems like ages ago!

well, it was, thats the first forum i created, we moved from that forum though so thats why its not as big as it should be

 

[ChrisRyan]

My first forum was www.sorandom.freeforums.org

It was pretty sucsessful but when I learned what ff was doing I moved a week later.

Yet I am still getting new members there every few days.

The site had really cool concepts and design my old members said so that is what keeps it going.

 

[Callum93]

I'll go through all my forums

An invisionfree general chat forum that failed, forgot the link

http://chat247.forumplatinum.com, another failure, only knew hireem to promote it @ the time

http://x10.890m.com/phpBB3/ a failure in the end, but a lot better then anything i had previously done.

 

[Ste]

I can see why chat247 failed.

 

[Callum93]

i only just noticed it looks awful, however the style used to look nice. Dunno how that happened :?

 

[nancyrowina]

The first forum I made was deleted as it was just a free trial that over ran on the novogate server. ~cry~
The one I have now is always free though so it will never happen there, the link is my signature if you want to see it.
