Science Forum is Open
Network March 19th, 2007This blog post is proudly sponsored by: Entrepreneur Support.
I finally got around to opening my newest site. A forum. It is not on the SciFreak.com domain as I had hoped. Instead, it is on another domain name. I bought it and it is open. I am excited about it, but slightly upset that the skins are still not working. One of the staff of the place where I purchased the skin is looking into it, but I don’t know what they will find. Anyways, I am excited to say that it is open and I have started posting on it. I installed a product that will hopefully make more people sign up, but I am not sure how good it is going to do just yet. I will make a post about my favorite vB mods and stuff when I get more.
I figured out what kind of contest I am going to do. It’ll be some sort of science magazine subscription. I am not sure what exactly I want to do, but it might be a generic posting/referral contest. I might make an article thing as well so that I can begin hording articles for my biology blog that I intend on making in the future. I haven’t figured out the number of points I want to make each thing, but you can bet that in the next couple of days, I’ll have a definite idea. I am not sure if I am going to do a science magazine subscription or something else, but it will be about science. When I get more money, my second contest will probably be worth more. Anyways…Want to see the forum? Really? Are you sure? Okay! ScienceChats.com!
It takes a lot out of me to write these blog posts. Buy me a beer to cool me off!

Congrats on the launch. I think that a science magazine subscription is a very well targeted prize for the kind of people you want posting. I think other highly targeted prizes like that might work out well and cost you an arm and a leg. Good thinking. I also like the nice broad categories, which I think are well suited to large numbers of members. I think the number one thing that can make or break a forum is the titles of the individual forums. Looking forward to seeing the skin on there.

I am glad that you like the different forums. I didn’t want to get too specific because then I have to deal with fewer members. I wanted to grow a large science forum. I have no problem creating sub-forums, but or this, I wanted it to be very general. And, once I get the skin, I’ll put it up.
