Createing a forum.

A fundamental question that you have to ask, what so special about it? A board on gaming, anime or just about any topics out there is going to be pretty a-typical, unless you are just going to keep it in between acquaintance, there really isn't any good reason to go out and make a small one that is just going to die soon enough. Unless you have a specific attraction either from a main site that you actively maintain, special property like Gaia, or a large originally established user base. Its pretty pointless to make a new one when you have access to already established forum, quite frankly.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
