When creating a forum you always hope yours will be better than the other forums that are to do with the same genre as yours. There are steps you should take before and during creating your forum. I have a list of tips below that I recommend you use when you are making a forum.
- Find a good host
- Get people dedicated to work as staff
- Get suggestions from people on the web on what you could include.
- Review a load of forum software’s (then choose the best one based on reviews)
- Get some plugins for the forum
- Choose a theme for your forum (custom is better but not needed)
- Get the main graphics you will need (banner, advertising banner, signature image, affiliate image
- Add the graphics and all the areas to the forums (more can be added at a later date
- Get you and your staff to create topics in the forums to make the forums filled
- Do member and post exchanges to fill the post and member count up
- Advertise your forum
After all of this is done you will find small updates or suggestions that will need to be done but it won’t be that hard! I also recommend never use a dark theme for your forums as me and many other people think they don’t look as professional. If using a dark theme add some brighter colours to it
