Those are good points, too. I think people see the big forums making money and think "oh that is easy - let me do it"

They fail to understand that the big forums have been around for a long time and probably operated at a loss in the beginning.

Also, the other crucial point is the loyalty of the community. Just because someone starts a forum doesn't mean users are going to leave the community in which they have participated for years to run to the new forum.
