![]() | Starting yet another nikon forum? First I own the nikon DSLR and been active on couple photo forums. In general I have seen some talk about how current big nikon forums are not so good and what are the issues with them. And there i see an opportunity to start yet another forum. I already have spare VB and a gallery license so immediate $$ investment would be only buying a Nikon related domain. Now I do understand that there is lots of investment of time and patience after forum is setup. But do you, given this background there is an opportunity, worth putting in efforts?

![]() | It's definitely possible, it's up to you if you want to spend the time and money to do it. To compete with big sites you surely need a good amount of dough though. |

![]() | I'd like to point out that's easier said than done unless you have money. The vast majority of users simply don't care about how you have some small improvements or a few unique things, you need to be spending money (and time) into long term marketing (like SEO). |

![]() | You say that you understand the issues that other similar forums have, however you need to know how you are going to resolve this. If you don't have a clear plan of how you are going to resolve these issues then you might find yourself with a forum that is just exactly the same as all the other forums out there. The best thing I think that you can do is list the issues with other forms and then detail how you are going to handle these. |
