Want to start my own forum, can you give me some pointers on where to start? (I'm a total websites beginner)

Hi Takwa

For a forum to succeed you need members and traffic..

As this forum is still very new you might be able to pick up tips as it grows..

What will the forum topic be about?

Hello Takwa,

I have just started a small forum at Disc Exchange Forums and I am interested to see how if it takes off. It's literally only been running a few days and is a bit lonely at the moment. I don't really know what topics or sections to organise it into so I'm just seeing how it goes.

The best software I´ve found is vbulletin. Thats what this forum is run with.

Post useful material on your site first so later you could have traffic and members.For the traffic purposes get SEO services.
