    Hello.

    I'm working on a free forum service and I need some help testing and improving it before a general public launch can be announced.

    The domain is catchy and allows to take the advantage of highly ranked SEO keywords without any costs.

    Google will translated "f0rums" as having the same meaning as "forums".

    For example: http://mp3.f0rums.com or seo.f0rums.com (none of these sites exist yet)

    We are using myBB as forum software because it is free and very easy to customize.

    Please register only one or two forums for yourself, if you don't intend to use them, then they will eventually be deleted to ensure other people have a fair chance of using them.

    Please report back your opinion at http://support.f0rums.com

    Thank you all for the feedback!

    ------------

    Known issues at the moment:
    - activation email is not sent (site admin will activate each forum for the moment)

    That was the original limitation. I've changed it to 3 letter minimum but kept the text.

    Here's an example of how some guys registered yesterday: http://wow.f0rums.com

    This way you can choose the premium keywords.. ;)

    lol...your thread title is misleading.
    Your domain would contribute to typo traffic for sure. Good luck with it.
    It just that the title of this thread, kinda misleading.

    Thank you for the kind words.

    If you ever wish to start a new forum, I'll be glad to help and work with you. The f0rums typo with the 0 is really assumed as a true "o" by google.

    :)

    Yes, you're right. I made a mistake without noting and then it was too late to change it back.

    Nevertheless, the site is gaining a lot of traffic really quick.
