I made a christian site. I wanted others to know christ. I only have one member (me). But I just got started. It has no other board except test. So I'm glad there's no members.
well, one of my fora (the snitz one, i know... "boooo!") was set up as a haven for exiles from another forum, whereas the newer one (the phpbb one, i know "YAAAAAY!") is for discussion of all things Spider-man.
i just converted the Spidey one from snitz, as it had a low post count, so it would make a good testbed... i may convert the other one, but it's got a lot of posts, and i had to do a lot of editing of the access database to mysql dump to get it to work.
I opened mine because of my passion for football (soccer), and although there are many football forums about, I wanted a place of my own to bring the people I knew enjoyed football, as well as others, together to discuss the games around the world.
I opened mine for gaming and chat reasons
I based my site on another site
my site has a lot of forums and so far is huge now it has a lot of submitted chests.
