    There's a forum for pretty much everything. Starting a forum 'just because' usually is a waste of time, because it will fail. If you're not passionate about the topic, have extensive knowledge of the topic, and/or don't care to put in the research/time/energy, it will fail.

    When you find that niche that you do care about, research the competition. Odds are, there's at least 1 big forum in the niche already. What can you do differently to make people leave an active board for your new board?

    If you figure that out, you have an entrepreneurial mind and can do well

    I'm 1 for 8. 7 of my forums that i've run in the past have all failed or are still up but get 1-2 posts a month. Starting a forum today is not an easy task.

    Hello,

    Giving the reason to Brian, I still want to tell you that it depends basically on your taste, though I've seen you added a lot of pics. to this thread, so I ask you, have you ever thought about planning a tourism forum?, do you enjoy traveling, knowing new people?. It's just a little suggestion, think about that

    I agree with you Brian. It requires dedicated energy and time. I like also your the way of thinking. I have some more energy and time thesedays. Forum is a patience for me. I just dont know enough niches which i can like and the enviroment. It's also another option for me to do in english, turkish, german or russian langauges or all together.

    I have a big webmaster forum over 60k member and daily 20k uniques. It's already top 100 website on alexa in my country Turkey. I did it "just because i can find good people to trade". One day i have been scammed at another wm forum about 4k dollars. It was not a free option to do it for me anymore. My new forum niche has to be more like a hobby job like you said.

    Andres, thanks for the recommendation. It really attractted me. I realised i like to tell people about Turkey. I have been nearly all summer cities and well donated with the area. It can be also a good contribution for my country. I'll investigate the present situation soon with other forums on this niche. I think i can well inform people about Turkey. Also I have been many countries, USA, Switzerland, Hungary, Russia, Turkey summer cities, 10 different carribean islands etc.

    I think you would do nice with traveling and since I do to it would be fun to help and get the forum up and running: I was just recently thinking about making a website for this but vB actually provides a pretty decent basis for this and the members could share.. sounds nice

    And Turkey is nice: I've been to Istanbul for 3 days or something to get my eyes fixed there
