How much work does it take setting one up?
Is it hard keeping up with one?
Would any of you even care to take part?


Just a few questions I thought I would ask.

There are a lot of factors.

What kind of forum?
What software?
What hosting plan?
etc.

Honestly I haven't thought of that yet, it was actually a spur-of-the-moment thing. What if there was no theme?

ZetaBoards.

What do you mean by hosting plan?

You had me at hello.

Also bad idea. I tried to talk Kyouka out of doing it a while back but he was so persistent.

I've been running one for the past 4 or so years for about 30-40 people. Nowhere near as populous as this one but it was pretty taxing for the first couple years.

I am guilty sorry everyone. RIP Emile Griffith. Jeremy Kyle is a prick. go make sumin of urself

It's pretty hard to do alone. You have to be able to attract a unique member base. Like you couldn't just rely on a base that is 80% DBZF say.
“Making weed illegal is a little bit paranoid, don’t you think? It’s like saying God made a mistake, you know what I mean? It’s like, you’ve got the whole world and Earth and all its holy creations, right? And God is like, Hmm, lookit, my whole world in all its holy ways, and he’s like, Oh-my-me-oh-sh**, I left weed in here. Yeah right, I left weed in here. Oh, shouldn’t have smoked that joint on the third day.”

It's not a bad idea but with forums it takes experience in administration and a s*** ton of luck. I've created successful forums from the ground up before but it's not easy. DBZF doesn't have some secret remedy to success it has a popular domain and good google hit stats. Nowadays though foruming is past it's peak and it's difficult to even establish a decent domain-more less a community.

It's actually relatively easy, depending on how you host it and your technical expertise.

It might not be during the initial phase after you've set it up, but in my experience it becomes very tedious keeping things active. I once co-administrated a forum that eventually reached about 50 members (after like 2 years lol), and it was so hard to keep things interesting. People eventually got bored and dropped off the radar, myself included.

It comes down to either having a great domain, a s*** ton of luck, or having something exclusive to your forum that makes it one of it's own.

If you can create a service through your forum that brings people in then it's possible.

I'm going to get a s*** ton of research in before even attempting, to make it as profitable as possible, but thanks for the info guys.

Yeah. A lot of people have left, though. We're just a small community now. We have a real life gathering planned for next year
