There's some really dumb forums out there (not this one obviously!! ) And I want to compete with them (None that are tech related!!! ).
I have a few questions, but first a quick background.
I'm a young adult, my father is a professional web designer and owns his own company that I sometimes help with.
I have experience in WP, and some HTML. I would probably consider myself a novice web designer (more of a building if you will).
I'll be getting an associates in network admin next year, along with getting general education in tech development. After that I'm going to go back and get a bachelors or masters in software engineering.
As for the questions:
1. What is this type of forum called? Who creates it? What's it designed with?
2. My father says there is a HUGE spam factor when dealing with these types of forums. Is this true? How bad is it? Is there an easy fix?
3. How much revenue does a forum generate per user?
4. Are they a big time consumer to maintain? Or is it a wind 'er up let 'er fly type thing?
Anyone have any experience with them? I wanna know!
Cheers!
