StumbleUpon Forum Good Idea or Bad?

    I started a stumbling forum about 42 hours ago, and it seems to be going really well. We have an integrated points system, and the member list is just keeps growing.

    Some people on there have already received over 20 stumbles in just 42 hours.

    But my question is how long do you think this will last, do you think is as good idea.

    StumbleUpon doesn't support the idea of the forum, but its not against their tos.

    Here is the site if you want to take a look at it and sign up:

    not a bad idea, but why only stumbleupon, there are lots of sites like that, also if the stumbleupon era is over your forum will end, so its better to start a link exchange forum, i think so

    I agree. If you are going to do it, tackle all of the Social Bookmarking and Networking Media Platforms, or at least the major ones.
    I think a forum like that would be great!
    Digg, My Blog Log, Furl...just hit em all up, with tips, experiences, and the whole "Shibang".
    It's the internet man, you can go as far as you want.:)

    you may want to check on the TM for StumbleUpon

    Trademark is becoming a costly issue now days.

    Not a bad idea at all! I'm pretty sure you'll have loads of members on it.

    You will most likely get a quick surge than it will die out. Once you list your sites, there is not much reason to return. I am not sure you can get a forum running just on this one topic. I have a stumble exchange blog and it gets some good traffic but I am not sure if a forum will have much return members.

    Congrats!
    However I don't think this is going to work in the long term.

    You can extend your service. +Digg + Delicious, etc.
