Why did you create your forum?

Why did you create a forum? What was the reason?

 

[Demon_skeith]

I didn't really create it, mostly just took it over as I found the idea of managing a forum fun. 13 years later, well here I am

Every single site I have created is because I was either bored or wanted to make some money. For DH, it was because I was bored and wanting a fun little project to focus my time on.

A need to have a platform to share my passion for nostalgia was the driving force behind my forum.

That's how I started out. I was making communities because I was bored and because at the time, there was a large enough online presence on the free software to make them last. Now though, my current project was because I enjoy discovering new shows, movies, podcasts, etc and discussing them and after having discovered how popular others found them as well, I realized I could make a community centered around the idea.

Something like this?

I usually create forums to fulfill an unmet need. In other cases, I usually just create them out of boredom.

Not quite like that no. More like we watch shows, movies, etc together and discuss them as we watch.

I typically create my forums out of boredom but I also love having a community where other people can chill and have a good time. My current one came to be because of another project I'm working on, an odd Youtube channel. The community itself is a general chat forum, but it's there for everyone to chat.

After the death of an emblematic site we wanted to nucleate again the spanish community for RPG Making, we went really well for about a year and a half, then things started to go downhill since i started to take university seriously.

I've ran a number of forum over the years and I've always created them to educate people or to spread awareness surrounding a certain topic.

Me and 2 of my other friends always liked running forums when were younger as it's always nice to have your own little corner of the internet. Fell out of contact with one of the guys for a few years but he got on to me and the other lad a couple months ago about starting a new one up.
It was really good timing, pretty much at the start of COVID, so I've been perfectly happy staying at home and working away at the site.
