Hello everyone, this is a Do It Yourself project, that im in need of help.

I have a forum thats about NOTHING, absolutely nothing, which drives me nuts cause i would like it to have something to drive the forum and drive me, i was excited when i first made the forum and all but now, all these 15yr old kids come in somehow and post random crap.

What im asking my fellow members of TSG is if anyone can give me some idea's about what i could make a forum about.

I also have a website with godaddy.com that i can incorporate with the forum to make it better, so if you guys have any idea's, dont hesitate to post.

Thank you,
Auxilium.

If this doesnt belong here, please tell me and i apologize.

odd......you started a forum without a purpose?
just to see what would happen?....or did you have an idea at the beginning?

how many kids you got now?

maybe THEY need a forum

[JohnWill]

Color me surprised, a forum with no purpose gets filled with crap. What exactly did you expect?

[Cookiegal]

Are you Jerry Seinfeld by any chance? He made millions off a program about nothing so there's still hope.

LoL, i had an idea at the beginning but it didnt come out to be like that, and i was fine with ppl joining, but its a bunch of BS now with all the pretty much spammish (yes spammish) posts.

Now that my idea is not able to happen, i need some more =D

so...what was your original idea?
and why can't you go back?

just ban all the spammers and try again

My first idea was going to be all about like programs and so forth (freeware and shareware etc.) But of course if i did that the place would get overrun with like warez, and atm i dont have a hosting name for the forum so it would be breaching their ToS.

I think i could still do it about programs, i can cover alot of everything, i just need to set up the categories, could you guys give me some categories of programs?

Ex: Photoshop = Graphic Programs, stuff like that.

What im asking my fellow members of TSG is if anyone can give me some idea's about what i could make a forum about.

Ask yourself the following questions:

1. What do I feel passionate about?
2. What really engages and interests me?
3. What do I like to talk to people about?
4. If I could pick my dream job - the thing I'd do even if nobody paid me to do it - what would it be?

Once you have the answers, use them to create the kind of forum you'd want to join yourself.

It's about absolutely nothing and full of random crap? Sounds like all your members would fit in perfectly in Random here

[Auxilium]

Thanks for all the replies. I did remake it and put the things that interests me in there,

For instance.
Online Gaming Section
Counter-Strike
F.E.A.R
Final Fantasy XI
World Of Warcraft

Then my girlfriend is a cable tv and hi-def expert, so i made support forums for those two things.

As well as off-topic discussions.

Now im currently tried to get the members up.

[buck52]

get rid of the obnoxiously loud opening page for starters...

[iltos]

and double check your spelling and syntax....the site looks pretty cool, but unless english isn't your first language, the mistakes drag the whole idea down a notch.
