The Homes of the Rich Forum!

    I just started this forum that ties into my blog/website called Homes of the Rich. I am looking for people to join and to start new topics. I really think that this is a great niche and I am hoping to build this into a major forum. I would really appreciate it if you could just take a look at my forum and tell me what you think.

    Thanks, Kenny

    Yes...the forum color combination isn't good.. Try any light colors.
    Also, the domain name is too long to remember and type.

    Go to the BST forum, advertise about your new forum and hire the services of some forum posters and kickstart the activity.

    Pay a few people 10 cents per post or 8 cents per post and 11 per thread and soon you will have an active forum.

    If you are really serious about starting something good and intend to put a lot of time and energy into building it, the first and foremost thing is to buy yourself a suitable domain and pay to host it.

    I would definitely be not comfortable putting in lots of effort on something which is not fully under my control.
