Closed my project, what can i do next
I closed my project two days ago. And thinking of taking a break..but my mind keep saying start a general forum (saturated niche).
But i am trying to avoid it. What can i do next? Go with my thoughts or learn something or any suggestion?

I don't know how successful can became general forum, why not starting a niche forum, some argument you like and know much? Something unique that does not exist.
I guess social networks replaced the general/chit-chat forums.

That is true, there are already forums for almost any argument. Trying something in your language instead of English?

When I started my forum skoda I got 19 members in a year and 364 messages, and probably more than 300 were mine. In the second year about 150 members and 2000 messages. I wanted to shut it down when domain and hosting expires, but then started to grow. It will never make big numbers, but that's not the scope. We are doing a couple of meetings every year and I've met a lot of members personally.

I agree, and last Sunday I attended the wedding of one of my moderators. I wasn't the only one invited from my forum, there were other people from the forum. A nice event and I'm glad he invited us.

if you have a lot of free time and you have nothing to do then study php and make addons for elkarte.
