Hello,
I'm new to this whole thing and I'm sure glad I came across this site. Excellent articles :)
I have a few ideas for community forums that I'd like to create (with vBulletin). From your guide I understand that it can be difficult to create a community, but I'm going to give it a shot.
My question is:
how big of a community is needed for a site to pay for itself? (just hosting)
I'm not looking to make a quick buck, I'm thinking long term here =)
but I'm just curious what is needed to get a forum to pay for itself. (most likely with google advertising) because if getting that level pretty quickly seems attainable, I will consider trying a few of my ideas in the next few months rather than one at a time.
thanks for any advice
