[Guide] 9 Steps How to have a successful forum
« on: June 01, 2011, 10:17:19 am »
Step 1: Make it look neat, No body wants to see an ugly forum with stupid backrounds

Step 2: Make it unique, Most forums have the same boards as other forums, try to make up your own!

Step 3: Dont make the first person to join staff. Most people would offer the first person to join gets staff causing lots of people to join, but everyone will quit since they are not staff

Step 4: Dont put a donate button up until your forum is successful enough and ask your members would they like to get you a good domain

Step 5: Dont have to many staff, As I explained in step 3 don't make the first person staff, But don't have to many staff either.

Step 6: Advertise!: their is lots of websites were you can advertise such as here googe, yahoo and much more advertising will get you much more people

Step 7: Make forums on what most people like, No one will join a forum if the base of it is someonething they do not like, do something  people want.

Step 8: Have forum games, Everybody loves forum games as a board but make sure their is no post count or you will have post whores.

Step 9: Have an Arcade,Most people love arcades because they are so fun but try and get your own games aswell
