    Hi

    I have never ran my own forum before and fancy giving it ago so i am in the market to buy a well established forum with at least 5,000 + active members

    I don’t really mind what the forum is about as long as its in good standing with good members. i also don’t mind keeping the mods onboard but i want to be the only Administrator who controls the overall forum rules

    So any advice would be great

    Please post with URL and prices

    Thanks

    If you looking to buy site.
    This is the wrong place.
    You need to post under "Sites" section.

    Check everything yourself like page rank, backlinks, total members and how active they are. Also check the seo and ranking of site in search engine and best of all a forum is not a website, so you should be ready to be the the biggest contributor of the forum.

    Check every user of the forum, make sure they are real and not made up.
