General Which niche do you feel is overdone in the forum world?

[Cpvr]

I agree and the ones that stay afloat are the ones who work harder.

The ones with dedication, passion, and the drive to keep improving their forums are usually the ones that last the longest.


However, working hard alone isn’t enough to keep a forum alive and ensure long-term growth. You can work hard, but without genuine love and passion for your niche, it won’t survive forever.

Worth noting that even genuine love and passion are not eternal wellsprings. It is entirely possible to love something with all your heart but then need to recharge. My experience has been the strongest forums - and the strongest owners - are the ones who let the community refuel the passion.

it is but everyone has a different mind set which goes back to earlier post by cpvr about Dedication,passion and drive are the key factors. When you lose interest and recharge that is losing the drive.

Good point, it can be difficult to find the right balance, too many replies/posts by admin can actually stifle community engagement.

I’ve never seen anyone sustain the required level of passion for a decade or more without there being some form of recharging going on, even if it’s the community doing a trickle charge. People cannot forever pour their heart and soul in without a top-up, no matter how strong the desire is.

If you’re telling me you can, you’d be the first forum owner I ever saw in more than 25 years of participation.

I’m in much the same boat, still on that refresh before getting truly back into the swing of things. Onwards, upwards, we’re all good here

Gaming is probably the most saturated niche of all for all website types and entities.

General forums could be one as well.

Either way, it's important to try to "narrow" or "niche down" if you choose these topics. How can you make yours unique from the rest?

I have a general forum (Off Topic Forum), and I have yet to figure out how to make mine unique, but I'm working on it. It takes time and research.

But don't let saturation stop you. If you can build a community with a saturated niche, that's really all that matters.
