Runescape Forum

[Jay.]

I love forums, don't you? HxF just pwns. So do the ***** forums. I can get a nulled vBulletin and start my own RS Forum. Just a simple forum, like HxF, used to discuss Runescape. Pretty neat eh? I have experience with vBulletin so it wont be very hard except my main concerns are...

1. Nulled vBulletin, bad right? Maybe I should use something like SMF? Although, they're ugly

2. A good skin! I'd need a pretty cool Runescape vBulletin skin.

3. Getting it popular. How would I go about advertising it etc.

I'd need people dedicated to helping me moderate the forum etc, I could try get a free .org domain? If they still do those, otherwise, if we get popualr I suppose I'll pay for a .co.uk or .com and for now stick with a .co.cc or something.

Good idea, or bad idea?

Soon as you open a nulled vBulletin someone is going to report you and it's gonna get shut down - and so it should .

Ok, I thought nulled vb was bad, how about if I use something like SMF?

It'll fail.

people have tried and actually put money into it and its failed, you're not even putting anything into it (nulled vb/free forum, free domain, no doubt free hosting so..)

yeh gl with that.

Thanks for the honest opinion, I didn't see the need for the sarcastic "yeh gl with that."

[scottish]

not sarcasm, im saying gd luck with it if you do go through with the plan.

[Jay.]

Alright, sorry.

If you dont want to buy everything go with a MyBB forum and a domain/hosting plan. MyBB is quite nice, and its free and people hate free domains so you could get a good .com or .co.uk one..

If you would need help running it, I would help out.

Best of luck :eusa_danc

Thanks a lot, I'm really considering it, going to look at cheap plans now.

Making it well known and getting people to join is 100x harder than making the site itself. There is a high chance of it failing but there is always a chance of it kicking off which would be awesome. So you should dedicate time and use free services to start with and if you feel confident that all it needs is some advertising then spend some money on that. You will also have to decide if you want to allow things that go against the rs rules such as account trading, cash trading, botting etc. Good luck.
