Dr Who? Posted 26 October, 2010 Share Posted 26 October, 2010 Hi all, I would like to set up a forum like this one for my home town. I would like some advice on how I can go about doing this? I would like a template and let others do the input as a message board and then sometimes have some other articles on the front page. So could do with someone setting it up for me, and then I will just add stories and events to it as and when needed, but only something basic. I should amagine it would have less users than on here as I only live in a small town! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean have a healthy member base and a thriving community; Then, one day, start charging people £5 to use it with the promise of some fantastic new website, competitions and features - but then actually give them very infrequent and 2mth out of date news stories, watch the site become a shell of what it once was and watch the members drift away?

Anything less would just not work... for me!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Who? Posted 26 October, 2010 Author Share Posted 26 October, 2010 I love the way that on a forum, that has admin and the people that run the site, that no one can advise me on how to start a forum!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Posted 27 October, 2010 Share Posted 27 October, 2010 Or follow the link in the 2nd post that points to the provider of one of the web's leading forum applications, which has obvious links to forum hosting costs and a forum that will no doubt have all the information you'd need.
