How to start a technical forum
Decide whether you really have enough time to start a new forum or not.
Running a forum comes with a lot of responsibilities, which include :
Getting enough active members to keep the forum going on its own. Making or finding someone to make a good, clean layout.
Advertising your forum and providing material to draw prospective members in. Finding moderators to help you manage your community and enforce your rules.
