That's cause I closed it. Started something I was just not interested in from the start. I do not know what kind of forum I should start...? Just fed up with the only forum deal really.
The bottom has dropped out of the forum market a bit since Facebook and Twitter came along with their status pages. Now everyone is communicating and discussing general chit-chat via their status pages rather than logging into a forum or chatroom to socialise. There are exceptions but I think you will find that almost all the webmasters on here with general discussion forums may have hundreds if not thousands of members, but only really a handful of active ones on their sites. If you have more than 30 - 50 active members regularly posting you should consider that a huge success.
It might be worthy considering going with a particular theme rather than a general discussion board. It is these sort of niche subjects that promote discussion about a particular subject that tend to gain a high rate of posts, although it is very specialised what those posts are about.

Yeah I have considered that as well. Been working on an idea.
