How to Make a Forum Guide Empty How to Make a Forum Guide

Tue Aug 10, 2010 3:16 am
Hi everyone,

This is a mini guide on how to make a forum, and the rules of advertising on this forum.

The Guide

First, you must decide what your forum is about. RPG? Star Wars? Star Trek? Make sure you have an idea what your forum is going to look like, and how you're going to run it.

Remember, it's always nice to have a campanion with you to support your forum from the start.

Next, you must choose a forum host. I prefer Forumotion, but some people like myfreeforums, or freeforums.org. A simple google search can reveal a full list.

After creating a forum, you will have to customize the forum. Create the categories, and user groups etc. The rest is all yours.

Rules

DarkShadow says only one advertisement per person. However a minimum post count is required. You also may only post in the advertisement section.

Dont get mad if people dont join, this rule was made because we are all tired of people making forums, then asking us to join because no one else will, its not that they arent going to join, its that 1. We dont have the time, and 2. it takes time for people to find your forum, then dont PM us asking why no one joined, it takes time.

And lastly, choose a theme that doesn't make people think you're a wierdo.

Speaking of making forums, has anyone ever just considered making a general unofficial Star Trek forum? Like just centered around Star Trek, not just a single aspect of it (like this one being centered around broken mirror and Bridge Commander Central being centered around Star Trek Bridge Commander, etc.) Just a thought. Im not saying Im making one or anything...

Or am I?

Do do that Toa, you'd need to use either vB or IPB, as Forumotion sucks at general forums
