The site is candlepowerforums.com and I plan to take then on with flashlightforums.net (just starting) Here is my plan Add a gallery User SEO URL's Custom Skin and possibly a contest Now I am a little worried since I will be using MyBB (until I can find the fundings) and I hope that I can get all the mods I need off that. So how does my idea sound?

In fact, stay away from a contest or overall advertising until you get enough money for Vbulletin. After that, let lose some major campaigning. Also be sure to post a lot on your competitor's forum. Don't waste your time with short and semi-useless replies that only increase the forum's post count. Make sure that you make really good and really beneficial posts related to your niche... just make sure your signature link stands out a bit  | ||||

For now get the site online, get it looking the business and get it looking popular with friends, family, post exchanges, fictional members, whatever it takes to build a good base.

| I prefer vBulletin yes. Others have a differing opinion though. I'm just impressed that people want to talk about Flashlights | ||||
