Do you guys think that the forum "market" is too overcrowded now?

Perhaps but once you get above the smaller forums and start to get some good users and posts you get some really good content/Spider food.
Forums still have a lot of life left and are becomming more popular among regulalr users.
A load of webmasters have forums but once you pass critical mass they are really worth it.

Never really fancied a spider sandwich myself.  as for the percentage of internet users who visit forums, good question, im sure most people have visited forums at some stage, they show up fairly well in Google searches, how many actually register and post is another question. |

No I don't think that the forum "market" is overcrowded at all. People usualy don't just join one forum and they usualy join two or more. Well thats just my personal experience anyways, I have run into people that I met on one forum on another forum with a completly different subject. What I'm trying to say is................................just try it out I don't really know its complicated. lol

I've been considering running a contest but does anyone have any tips to use them to create members who are going to stay after the prize is awarded?

Content and Community
You need high quality content to keep them there, and a good mix of community and chat.
About 2/3rds info/Content and 1/3rd Chat is a good/average mix.
Plus constant prizes are also good.
I know one forum that gives away free hosting for forum posters.

I only post here because of Darksats long security posts , I've given up on general conversation forums waste of time. But I would say not many people will stay after the contest. |
