    Default Starting a forum, need ideas.

    I'm starting my own forum, I don't know what its going to be about or what's going to be on it. I need help with ideas if anyone wants to give me some ideas, thanks.

    Make it about something you like. That way it doesn't feel like a task.

    usually when someone wants to start a forum, they have an idea in mind of what will be discussed on it, and/or the user base it will try to attract. i'm not sure why you want to start a forum when you have no particular idea what its purpose will be.

    that said, make it about anime. there aren't enough anime-themed forums out there, i can't even think of one

    Well, there's A4, known as anime-forums, but from what I can tell it's not much more active than this place. It must be under some iffy moderation too, since I just checked my account there for the hell of it and found myself perm-banned for some reason.

    Anyway, OP, considering you're asking this on an anime forum full of anime fans, I'm assuming you're a fan of anime yourself? Then that would probably be a good starting point. Start with a few general sections and branch out as you get more members signing up.

    If you're not really a fan of anime for whatever reason, just do what Hydrus said and base it around whatever interests you.

    Also note; if you do want to start a forum about anime.

    Discussing it on a competitors forum is never a good idea. A surefire way to get your posts deleted.

    This one? :P

    But yeah, if you start one on anime, you can't go poaching members from AF. It is better to try and start one on something that you really enjoy and do some advertising for it on Facebook via a page, or other social networking sites.

    I sense a conflict of interest raising it's ugly head. But as long as you keep it advice only, and do not share the link, assuming you -do- make it about anime, it might be passable. But if you start linking to it, the mods will cut you off at the pass.

    Here's an idea: Don't start a forum.
    Forums are a thing of the past. You're better off starting a Facebook page nowadays.

    i dunno. i'm nostalgic for the forum format. i doubt any new forum is going to gain young new followers in the age of social media, but old fcks like me might find it interesting.

    although i visit forums less and less and social media more and more. just make a new Facebook.com. call it Faecbook.com and it will be great.

    I am with Horrendous on this one. There is something special about a website that specializes in a topic and has a forum. I just don't like the whole social media thing. And from my experience, there are a lot of other people who are beginning to feel this way too, and the number is growing.
