thisisarobbery Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 forums very hard to start without a base does any of the games already have a fan based forums maybe concentrate on one and spread the word ingame? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArkeyWave Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 forums very hard to start without a base does any of the games already have a fan based forums maybe concentrate on one and spread the word ingame? This Just have in mind, if you plan to launch a forum of whatever the niche be, you better get a minimal amount of market to don't waste your money for weeks/months building an audience. You can try to begin with a FB fanpage, twitter and instagram. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetechgenius Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I have been running forums, and building them for clients for many many years. And this is what I have learned... If I were you, I wouldn't start a Gaming forum. There are millions of gaming sites/forums already out there, and the chances of your gaming forum being succesful is very, very slim. If you still want to start a gaming forum, you have to do double the work, you have to work harder then all the other people with gaming forums, because you have to make your forum very unique and very original. You have to stay up-to-date with all the news and updates. Such as, when a very important update has been released, you have to post it on your forum within about an hour, and also post your point of view about the update, and maybe a review. If you don't work harder then your competition, or don't make your site feel or look original/unique, then your "Gaming" forum will not succeed. First thing I would do with any new Forum, is buy a custom style/theme. A custom style/theme is a theme that no one else has, its built from the ground up just for your forum. That is the first step of making your forum original/unique, and having it stand out from your competition. But like I said, I wouldn't start a gaming forum, there are just so many gaming forums out there. Actually, when most people want to start their first forum, most of the time they make a "Gaming Forum". Thats why there are just so many of them already. If you need help with anything, with the forum or the server your forum is running on, let me know. I am always willing to help. Also, if you cannot contact me on WebFlake, message me on Steam. SteamID: TheTechGenius.Net Good Luck with your forum! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteamID: TheTechGenius.Net Good Luck with your forum! This. I myself had a forum until yesterday lol It was MYBB based. My focus was Money Making. Firstly I was busy doing all the hardword and runarounds to make it famous and out there. Then when I when I was in the middle of it there came the leechers. Posting just thank you and copy pasting. Soon I lost interest in managing it and also I aint no 16 here I am 27 with love and a kid to take care now. So I passed and moved on. Short: Use your energy/time and money on forums only if you think you take it long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteamID: TheTechGenius.Net Good Luck with your forum! You said basically everything. If you want to make a forum that's different from the others, you need ideas, and motivation. Motivation is important cause you need to fill this forum and don't expect someone to fill it. But if you want any help,i'm making forums for few years now, I can help you for whatever you want (graphics, managing, admin etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
