What should I put in it?
Does anyone have any rare pictures or facts, I dont want the to be one of those dumb@ss sites that all they talk about is the P-51 or P-47.

I would probably stick to something that really interets me although present it in a different way than other places. I dunno. Maybe weird and strange stuff about WWII or little known flying units. There is so much but not everything is covered.

Then again, not to burst a bubble, but I kinda like and can find almost anything right here.

Why do you want to start a new website if you don't even know what to put in it?

Colin1 · 07-14-2009, 06:49 AM

You'll be a new entrant
in a market full of very, very well-established competitors. If you don't know what you want in it, it will be somewhat difficult to differentiate yourself from the others ie a reason(s) for enthusiasts to come and use your site and not theirs.

Stick around, look at what's offered here and just as importantly, how it's offered. Compare and contrast with other aviation forums. Try and figure out what's missing and if it's marketable, base your website on that... if it's marketable - there could well be a reason why it's missing and even if there isn't, it might not in itself be big enough to build a site on.

Don't go too niche, niche sites cater for one very specific branch of any interest - you'll soon run out of things to discuss.

It's got to be both informative and fun, a common theme of interest and yet diverse, there needs to be a sense of community and accessibility.

Importantly, ask the mods on here how hard/time-consuming/frustrating it can be to run a forum.

Stay here dude, it's already set up and running for you.

OK, I created a new webpage with a friend, here it is so far:Home (Tuphlandng and Silverfish's Aircraft site)

Dark Matter · 07-14-2009, 03:06 PM

And heres my Tech support forum:Silverfish's Tech support Forum

Well as for the forum. It does not look bad, but what direction are you going. I would break it down into different sections. Right now you have sort of different things just clumped together.

Tried to register but it needed a password. No place to put one.

Looks to be a cool website.

"Only 2 people have joined, please be a member of my forum, please! "

The only way I'll join is if you can talk WW2.

Dark Matter · 07-14-2009, 11:07 PM

OK, I'm adding a WWII section.
