Often times, I find myself interested to start up another forum, however, I am completely out of a forum topics/concepts. Being creative is important, and having a strong concept can really help an online community. Sometimes targetting a forum at specific, common subjects can work as well. Example: EarnersForum

In an attempt to help everyone, let's try and brainstorm a list of unique and interesting forum topics!

I don't think I will participate in this thread b/c sometimes ideas get stolen. But I will say I tend to always looking around for topics. Even when I'm driving on the road I will start naming items I see and think if they will be a good forum topic.

There are tons of topics out there, just have to find the one with the right niche.

That's what I was intending this thread for, sharing creative ideas. I wouldn't reccomend sharing a concept you're thinking of using, I know what ya mean.

I'll post some later.

How about a forum on the topic of:

Pet Training,
Aspiring Actors,
Podcasting,
or a forum about forums!

That's all I've got.

Wait - one more:

How about a forum for spammers? Everybody seems to be doing it (just look at my inbox), so you might as well make some money. Different sections for email spam, content spam, Adsense spam websites, the list goes on. I bet advertising would actually be pretty lucrative and I know you could sell some products...

I even got the domain name: www.blackhatonline.com. Get it before someone takes it.

I'd like to know if you use an idea and how it goes.
