This is going to be interesting to watch. I've often thought about starting a forum myself but I'm yet to see a (non-Alist) blog that has attached a really successful forum.
Even with the money that BloggingTips.com spends advertising their forum, it's never really taken off...I guess it's just too easy to comment on the blog.
I hope this forum is different and I wish you success Mr Cow!!

Not too bad a move and I hope it goes off - like CQ mentioned it might be easier to comment on the blog itself - but then again you won't be talking about everything here. :)

Cool idea, a few suggestions though, your going to want to go all in or nothing to make a forum takeoff. Right now its just the default install and theme. Which is fine if your just starting a forum, but to try and attach it to something else, in this case your blog it should of started off with a custom skin or at least a non default skin.
Secondly there are way too many forums on it right now, makes the place look deader than it may really be. You want to start small and build up over time, that why parts of the forum don't look totally dead. As the forum grows you add more forums, and move around key posts to the correct categories then. Doing things this way means the new forums arealdy have key posts in them and will spark interest for other people to add to them, or post there own thread.
But good luck with the forums, I'm already registered as Brian.

good luck with this. if done right you may be able to monetize it. you can always set a limit to the amount of comments made here, then the rest get sent to the forum. you can also make it so you posts about certain things and the discussion is continued at the forum. you can also give stuff away, etc, etc, etc.

For the record, I am looking up mods and skins for the forum. The reason it hasn't actually been done is because I actually just got a replacement router around last week. Prior to that, I pretty much had no internet (or very limited access) for a few weeks. So expect to see some great additions as soon as I find everything I am looking for.

All very interesting. I don't mean to sound egotistical but you may like to check out my blog for tips and advice on setting up a successful forum. For a start, right now you simply have too many categories - this only draws attention to the fact there isn't much activity. This is something that dissuades visitors from registering.
In any case, good luck with your new venture!

If the forum is running on phpBB, why don't you install proSilver theme? It is cool.

I've added a few more categories and included an annoucement area for changes to we will be adding. I also included a feedback and suggestion area if you guys have any ideas you want to contribute.
I am working on finding a mod for the avatars. The default one seem to have issues working even though it is enable. I am working on that as well

Please don't use PHPBB is the worst forum software: 1. In words of SEO 2. In words of Security 3. In words of server load.
If you are serious in creating a good forum, use vbulletin or Invision power.
