Although i have a niche for my forums, i was thinking today that i dont really cater for people who may not be interested in Computer-Networking. Do you think that i should maybe create another forum or do you think i have hit the nail on the head with the amount of forums for the minor size of my boards?

You look like you're doing all right; just advertise more. If your members want different boards, they'll ask for them. =) ~Crystal

However, if you really like the niche, stick to it, as it's fairly unique and with proper promotion, it would probably work. | ||||

Join Date: Sep 2005 Posts: 400 | At NFHiB, we have a large Off-Topic talk section which has grown into different sub-forums over the last 4 years - it's a very successful section now. As members become more long-term on your forum, they will appreciate a place to post off topic bits and pieces on a forum they enjoy and trust using - always worth adding. Keep it small first and see how it develops, good luck.
