:lol: I like making forums, but I be serious about them. I have had lots of very active forums in the past, but got closed after a while as the members got disocnnected from the internet. Thats why Im trying to find a person who wants to start a good one and is serious about it, and stays active etc. like a good admin.

The best thing to do when finding a partner is not just ask random people out of desperation. Get to know some fellow SZ'ers and when you have met someone with the same interests and you two trust each other, then propose to begin a forum. A good bond between Admins helps a lot because you know both of the two are committed.

That sounded very much like a relationship :haha:

I have done that in the past, but thas what Im trying to do. I like someone who gives help and stuff. And im not doing it out of desperation, I'm just looking for someone who interested and then we would talk and see if we share the same interests. If you know what I mean...

Well that works too ;)

Yeah just post and meet people around at IFSZ there are probably other members that are looking for a forum partner so I am sure after you meet some people you will find one with your same interests. ^_^

Your the only person I've seen, who thinks the same as me... ;)

^_^ Well you sound a lot like myself around 9 months ago. I was quite eager to get out a start a good graphic forum because that was what I was enjoying at the time. But I found that by rushing it and only spending a few days on its design they usually flopped. But with my current forum, after I had learned more of the in's and out's to IF, I was able to focus on where my others had failed and how to solve the problems. I also wrote a few documentations geared toward new boards starting out and all the things I mention within them worked personally for me so you might want to check them out :)

Getting Guests Interested
Perk Up Your Forum
Expansion of Forums
Admin and Staff Grammar
The Importance of a Skin

Those 5 are all great for starting boards and helpful things to remember ^_^

I would but I really can't commit to starting a forum with anyone.

My time here and at my personal forum drain most of my internet time and I already have a pending idea for a forum which I might be starting with someone. Trust me, if I had the time, energy, and idea for a forum to start with you I probably would :P

I've only Co-operated a forum. Starting a new forum is a bit too stressing for me.

I made my first forum on April 13, 2003 =) Still going strong with 1200+ members and 64000+ posts (its older then IFSZ but way smaller... eh, what can ya do?)

Since then, I've only made forums when I'm bored, because It's like a hobby to me, but I'm trying to get my latest one, Graphics District, onto its feet.

ive made one myself, and at the moment, i had someone contact me after they created a forum and asked me to combine with them..because i was a member at this board before it got hacked and new it had huge potential to grow(it had been up about 6 months and had 500+ members before it got hacked)and i helped create the forums, mods, etc..and im an admin there currently and it is my only project at the moment..we have roughly 75 members and have been up around 2-3 weeks..you can veiw it by clicking my sig :)..

I'm on my way to being addicted. I've started quite a few Avidgamers ones, a phpbb one, and one here at InvisionFree. I was gonna start another forum after Estrella picked up. O_o;

A waste of everything you hoped for.

I've made about 3-5 forums in my lifetime. 3 were quite successful but I closed them due to me not being able to be active enough.
