I agree. Some people just buy a domain and jump in without any goals, and most of the time end up failing.

And a good theme would help too, nothing is more important then a good first impression, and it also needs to go with your genre. For example, a gaming theme for a gaming forum etc.

Now a days we may use wordpress.org also to create a website.

Starting a forum website is not so hard and it can be done within a day. But the matter is about marketing. If we can love the work and if we can keep all of our efforts in taking it to the success then it is so way to see the success of a forum.

Yes, i've started a successful forum website a couple of years ago and from my experience it was really hard to get things going. It takes ALOT of effort, patience and work but once you go over a certain number of active members things just start to roll.. after a while all it takes is solid moderation.

If you are new then you can purchase traffic package. And forum is not hard as you think.
