New Site

[Maldian]

Hey guys... I am trying to start a new forum and I need help spreading the news. Like anandtech... I am trying to start up a technical forum. I am in no way going to be able to compete with Anandtech... but this is just a start to see what I can do with forums. So please help me out. I am willing to take some advice and ideas for the new site. The address is www.scoutgeek.com. Thanks!

I don't understand the purpose of the forum. What would compel me to go there?

Why can't you just use Anandtech?

 

[Mike Gayner]

Wow, you've got 26 subforums between two users (one of whom is me). Posts might be spread a little thin for a while.

edit: But seriously, there's nothing about this forum that isn't replicated in 100,000 other places on the net. Don't bother dude - get a unique idea and start a project based on that.

If you want people to come and use your website, you need to give them a reason to? Why your site and not one of the hundred thousand others just like it?

You need neckbeard for high post counts and TB for technical advice.

I think AT has way too many sub forums.

 

[Mike Gayner]

Yes it does.

Playing with forums is fun but it is extremely difficult to launch one. I spent a few years writing modifications for yabb and learned alot about programing while doing it but I never had any success launching a forum (and I was no where near as obnoxious then).

can we post the same kind of hate there?

like, anti-american, anti-kiwi, anti-gaga, anti-class, etc. kind of hate that makes this place so special?


...but if you let the flying pig in to play, I'll join.

I don't hate any of those things. I rarely write about the things I truly hate. I have dolls to address those passions.

Cool, I registered as Scout Geek.

All of my dolls are stained.

I am left only with ATOT.

"The posts in this forum does not represent any company..."

"If you have any questions about legality of this board..."

LOL. Seriously. LOL.
