Random standalone forums rarely last very long as they fail to bring in new users! There have been quite a few threads about people setting up thre own forums recently but they never last! You need a site before a forum.
If you hosting Files or updated news about............er.........anything then your getting regular traffic to your site then it obvious that you will be able to get more users into the forum. EG. there are a sites that carry Cracks, overclocking tools & other shareware downloads. Now if you want to dowlaod from there servers you have to register with there forum to access the downloads!
If you set up your own standalone forum it will be empty then closed within 2 weeks, i seen this happen..................alot!
Im pretty sure i know what im talking about but i could be wrong!
