I think I need someone to smack the hell out of me. I'm actually thinking about how fun it would be to run another forum. I think I've lost my mind. Please talk me out of this huge mistake. :frantic:
haha the thread title is exactly the question I've been asking myself all weekend. I'm in exactly the same position as you, I closed a relatively successful forum down in 2008 and didn't look back, but time has caught up with me and I've really been bitten by the bug to build something from scratch again.
Well, I say go for it - who knows you may come up and open up a quality community, you still have it in you, right? Do it!
Don't do it, back away from the download button stat! Just get up in the morning log in to AdX, post away, log out and go to bed. Simples On a more serious note - DON'T DO IT!!!!! On an even more serious note - if you are getting the itch, set up a forum on a freebie board and have a play for a week or so, see how you feel, if start to get the buzz then it is time for action.
Don't ask me, LOL I lost my mind a long time ago keep taking my forum down and putting it back again. There's a word for doing it, it's called: BOREDOM
If you are asking yourself this question, then you apparently have an interest in doing it again? right? If so, just do it, learn from your past mistake and have fun. Its like building little cities ya know! I think its a great way to kill boredom
I'm not gonna try to talk you out of this, but, perhaps, ask you ...what you wanted to talk about? I sometimes think about stating a forum..but then think about the hundreds and hundreds of pages of posts and articles I would have to put out during those first years again to provide reference base. I think I'd do it if I ever found anything as fun as Sacred to talk about...but so far...I just haven't Blind, if there's something in your life that you just have to talk about...then you've found your reason for making a site, blog or forum. Success is guaranteed if its' just about you starting off with personal exploration and not holding your self accountable to any kind of metric Good luck gogo
