New guy here.

 

Found this site on XF Showcase. The look and feel really is nice. That and the subject matter got me interested to join.

 

I currently do not have a forum, but I do have an itch for one. I have been around forums since the ol' IPB1.4(?) days, and played with pretty much every flavor of software since. No big boards though. Xenforo is imo, the best there is. And I like and have used their cloud system.

 

You know how when you have run forums for awhile, you and then your not, but you always end up thinking about them? Well, I have an itch, and a rough concept I want to do.

 

Look forward to meeting everyone out here.

Hello New Guy.

 

Well, I have an itch, and a rough concept I want to do.

 

I love that feeling. Looking forward to seeing what you have in store. You have a whole community here to help.

Man, there’s nothing better in the world than the need to do a forum. Except sex.

 

But yes, welcome CTS. Thank you for your great introduction and the positive feedback. Welcome to a community where we all feel that itch to create a community and become the best in what we can do. ☺️

 

Looking forward to hear more about your concept, so keep us in the loop! 😃

Hey man, welcome to the site! :) Have fun!

Hello and welcome to the community!

Welcome to the community. Nice to meet you.

But yes, welcome CTS. Thank you for your great introduction and the positive feedback.

Admin forums come and go, but it didn't take very many pages to see the resources and effort put into the place. And I liked that. Plus I recognize a few names here too.

Welcome to the forum! :)

We'll be anxious to see your creation!

Well I dunno about any creation so to speak, I am just trying to think outside my norm and make something that hopefully works to some degree.

So I have been contemplating a niche and a name. I haven't yet settled on it but I am working on some ideas in my head. I have some domains that seem to have no practical use since I purchased them in a bundle about three years ago. And its not easy making a decent name generically nowadays. Of course I will be using XF cloud and I am familiar with it enough to be dangerous. The niche, anything that can support a forum already has a forum. So open discussion, or chit chat as some may call it, is likely the target audience.

 

I am posting here as I am not sure where one would post this? So I am just using my intro thread.

Are you saying that's the type of forum you plan to have? A general discussion forum?

likely yes. I have done many niche forums. Never one open topic

Welcome to the community! You joined a very good one!

likely yes. I have done many niche forums. Never one open topic

Gaining traction in this niche is pretty easy due to the many topics you can discuss. However, it is one of the more oversaturated niches.
