I've started a new forum and I want people to visit and sign up.
Hi guys and girls,
I've had an idea about a forum for a long time, and had registered a domain name a couple of years ago. Anyway, long story short, is I finally got around to building my forum.
The idea is simple. I've seen many forums where discussions get heated, people flame and then the thread gets shut down and members banned. That's fine because it violates the TOS of the forums.
However, I was thinking, what if there was a forum where people can go and start a flame war, cuss people out, rant about politics, basically whatever floats their boat, and don't get banned.
Hence the idea for [URL REMOVED BY MOD] was born.
I've just started the forums a couple of weeks ago and I've tried myself to populate some posts, but as you all know, a forum isn't a 1 man show.
So, my question is, I'm willing to spend some money on the forums. Perhaps $500 or so, but may extend to $1000 if I feel it's worth it.
How do I drive visitors to my site?
Another problem is, that if I do drive visitors to my site right now, they will see it as fairly empty, so what can I also do to boost up content so that when people do come, they see something compelling and can start posting immediately.
Any and all suggestions are welcome. I do know getting a forum to a healthy, self sustaining forum is not easy, but I am willing to throw some money at it to give it a kick start. As of right now, I'm not thinking much of advertising on the forums, I can sustain the forums myself even if it gets to a couple of hundred dollars a month of expenses, but if this thing explodes I may think of other avenues.
Anyway, looking forward to all the comments from the experienced members of this forum.
