| Ever wanted to start a forum but would prefer it be ready-made? I'm considering a new service and am running this poll to help determine if there is a market for it. The question is: Would you consider "ordering" forum to be built that you could then take the reigns on? Service would include: Domain (if needed) Software License (if needed) Custom Skin and Graphics (if desired) Avatars (if desired) XXXX Forum Posts (to order) XXX Directory Submissions (if desired) You define the subject matter and the service delivers a forum that is beyond the start-up phase. A follow-up to the poll question would be what price-point would make a service like this attractive to you?

| Personally, I enjoy knowing I created it all, but I can see the advantages of such a service | ||||

| I personally would probably never use a service like that.

| Doing all of the installation and design work is the best part, imo, so I wouldn't even use a service like that. | ||||

Join Date: Sep 2005 Posts: 10,246 Location: Athens, GA | I'm gonna have to agree with the majority here...For me, the best part about running a forum is the sense of accomplishment...knowing that all of this is a result of my hard work. It's also fun to me. I do this as a hobby, and I don't consider it a "job", although sometimes it sure does feel that way! Nevertheless, I would have thought that more people would be interested in this kind of service...but it doesn't appear to be that way

| Ed, this is the wrong avenue to ask. We are all self-taught admins who take pride in our work. Ironically, the people more applicable to buy the service, aren't online much.
