How to get a forum running
 

For me this seems on of the harder things to achieve (I am talking about a new sex camrelated site with attached forum).

Any tips or trolling?

Start with lots of fake posts :thumbsup

Nobody wants to be the first to post

yes, very true :thumbsup

That's it, also make threads and posts that will want to make people get involved very tough to get rolling for sure. Good Luck! :thumbsup

hire fatfoo

Post shit like this

yes that should start a discussion :thumbsup

do u need forum script?I have a good program and it support mobile view.it is better than phpbb.

Learn the secrets of what's going on here, learn who the bots are (all the same guy). He sets up a thread, then gets his bots in insulting each other, eventually the thread catches a fish (a real poster), then all the bots make him dance; some agreeing, some disagreeing, deliberately misunderstanding etc.

You may also notice that when the puppet master clocks that a poster has logged into GFY, he quickly uses one of his bots to post of their threads of interest, to encourage them to get stuck in.

One of the best techniques overall is to use the bots to rile people, offend people's pride so as they start defending themselves. Drama is what messageboards thrive on

Who are the bots here? I want to put them on Ignore.

starting a new forum is hard. Get some fake users going to start discussion. Even then you have to get a constant influx of new users.

I was working on starting a new domain name and web devel forum and I could never get it going.

There are so many, some who are still in good disguise. There are at least 5 who've been posting recently, though it wouldn't surprise me if there's a lot more. The guy who posts for them is generally good at making them seem different, but sometimes he gets lazy and the mask slips.

I'll have to leave you to work them out for yourself, as the bots are here for an important reason. I could only tell you via email, but not in public.

xrumer + hrefer + proxies = busy forum.

:thumbsup

I got one going with a bunch of fake nicks and trolling.

some nice replies.. thanks

phpbb is already installed... but what is it you use?

we're all bots here except you. Strictly for your entertainment, of course.

so where can I get myself a few smart phpbb bots with a degree in posting interesting stuff and trolling?

there is no money in tubes.. just let the domain expire

Sorry about that folks. I'm very poorly coded.

start a forum the visitor want and or needs. That will help.

isn't it about creating a forum about an talking point which people would like to talk about?

you need 100 fake posters busy on board :D

Get in contact with me if you need help with posts/users.

buy posts/users

Lensman actually did a pretty good job back in the day when it comes to starting forums. :)

Get Paul Markham to post.

Questions and polls .. Make sure the polls expire.

paul and damian are one person? :1orglaugh

Can you email me your contact info?

Now that would be a scary moment :1orglaugh

So sad but so true! LOL
