Try to make forums...ever since Time Gates died my biggest moment was all sixteen posts of the Jedi Temple.

Time Gates could've been a good one, but because there was a loss of interest, you gave up and put it in maintainmence mode for eternity. That was silly.
From what I understand, Gorbin's been through hell with that board, and it's finally coming around. You have to stick with a board before it can become something.
Tolkien Forums will not die!!!!1

You told me you hated it, Sword (no offence) spammed up beyond reason, no one would join, no one would post. It all went downhill from there.

I hated the way it was ran. The idea was great; it just could've been executed and handled better, such as actually listening to some suggestions.
You could always try again with Time Gates. That was an interesting board.

It's nothing at all except a waste of server space.

No, to stick with the idea and follow it through to the end.

I did follow it through to the end. I could make a new forum that follows (100%) the same idea though...

If you had followed it through to the end, it would be successful by now. If I had not shut down Tolkien Forums for a month, it would be more successful now. You should go back to the original forum, and revamp it.

If you have that attitude about it and other messageboards you have made, you will never have one that succeeds.

That's the entire point that you failed to understand. Nothing works. I send out my ideas, people play with it for a day or two, then it falls out of popularity and I try to get them back and no one posts there so the forum dies. No one stays interested in my forums over a day, you see.

You are missing my point. When a forum dies, you don't just leave it behind. You always seek new ways to improve it and make it more enjoyable for everyone. When I played Time Gates, it seemed to be your way or the highway. That's why I didn't enjoy it.

Well, bacon, let's play this way. Titanic RPG, Bacon Studios, the last LOTR forums, the newer one on Invision Free, Monkeyland, every single WOTS RPG, and the mini-TFN project...where did they go?

I decided to stick with Tolkien Forums instead of those.
The last LOTR Forums, and the newer one on Invision Free are the same things as these on other board software. Monkeyland was WOTS on a different name.
And the mini-TFN thing was a joke.
The others, which besides the original WOTS were all side-projects to Tolkien Forums, I have abandoned. But I will stick with this forum until the end. It will not be scewered.

Exactly. I'm just still in the side project era.

And what is your main project? I will be making no more side-projects. I'm just telling you what successful forum people have said, and what I have 'learned', if you will.
You know... the only reason Tolkien Forums has survived all these months is because a few dedicated members didn't want to see it die for some reason, Minyaliel being the one who kept it going when I was ready to shut it down, which I have once. But I've learned my lesson.
BTW, I had to scoop up cat vomit. #26#
