start a forum?

Sharky said: "I'm considering starting a forum, but looking at sites like web-mastery they seem to be hard to get members :whacky011:"

edwin said: "i think you already answered your own question. there are an awful lot of webmaster forums to expect too much action"

raven said: "I have to agree with Edwin. (did I really say that?) :roll:"

Neutron2k said: "Yeah I can't be bothered with my forums. If someone posts ill respond but I gave up trying to find members. Would love it to take off its just no one bothers spreading the word any more on your behalf."

edwin said: "tis a cut-throat world of webmasters."

Sharky said: "wasn't generally thinking of a webmaster forums, they never survive."

Neutron2k said: "funny cos this place is still here, so is digital point etc :D"

Sharky said: "you think your forum will ever turn out to be the next digital point?:laugh: you get the odd one that survives but noone joins even you have places like dp."

Sharky said: "I wont to do something new with my sites what other options do i have?"

Neutron2k said: "come up with a novel new idea for the social masses :)"

Darren said: "[quote=Sharky;56009]you think your forum will ever turn out to be the next digital point?:laugh: you get the odd one that survives but noone joins even you have places like dp.[/quote] 65% of all threads at DP are in the "Link Sales" forum. The only reason I ever visit DP is to get paid, and I'm sure I'm not alone. Webmasters aren't in to sharing these days, there's way to much money at stake."

Sharky said: "294,175 posts on link sales :o. Wonder if i could sell any links on dp, pitty i dont have a paypal account that can get money i can only [B]send[/B] money."

edwin said: "why cant your account receive money?"

Sharky said: "its not a business one, its like the crappest account you can have that only sends money"

edwin said: "you need to upgrade that son. thats why you aint making the bucks online!"

Sharky said: "you have to pay more (i think)."

Neutron2k said: "so you want somthing for nothing then. you also have to deal with tax when you start receiving money [:D]"

Sharky said: "I know some tricks on tax evasion ;). would love something for nothing though :D."
