How to take on someone 1,000,000 times my size!

How do I take on a forum 1,000,000 times my size and over 2 years old? Well I am going to try.

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?

Could you tell us what it's about? Anyway, don't spend any money for mods or themes for MyBB. 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

hang on, that's a forum about flashlights with 1.5 million posts, that's insane, how is there that much to talk about, am i missing something about flashlights that will change my life!! :S

On the plus side the site looks horrible and loads at a snail's pace, if thats the norm you have the chance to play on that.

forget the competition idea, they are good for maintaining members but IMO not great at aquiring them.

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.

Yea I was not kidding with 1,000,000 times my size Brent any tips? Do I need vBulletin? If so that might set me back a while.

And yes that speed is normal, that is where I think I can attack them! Well that and the skin.

I prefer vBulletin yes. Others have a differing opinion though.

I'm just impressed that people want to talk about Flashlights

Yea well there is more than your average flashlight. There are LED and modded ones. It is quite niche I think.
