Success is defined by you.

The difference between then and than is defined by English.
Then is when something happens after something, it's sequential.
Than is when you're comparing. This is bigger THAN that. THEN that is smaller THAN this.

Again, success is defined by YOU. If you think your forum is successful then it is, if you're reaching goals or getting to them then it's successful. If it doesn't feel like it is then maybe you need to take note of the little things - or ask your members what they think of your forum - if they love it and don't want it to vanish it's successful. A successful forum is one the members are proud to be part of :).

To be honest and a lil harsh most forums fail.

why well ..

1 there is already many sites the same
2 there are already many sites the same
3 it goes on

and yes its soooo hard to get off the ground something new whats new most has been done but keep battling away keep pushing when you get a good member cling on to them... but don't expect it to happen overnight.

And as Jade said its defined by you

I'd agree with this.
It all depends on what you want to achieve.

I agree with this, there are so many forums but when you think about it there are so little subjects.

I started mine about the same time as you then, 19th February at about 3pm ;)

My forum is hidden from the public and not open to new members, but between the five members we have, including myself, we have accumulated over 4,000 posts in 350 topics.  I consider that a success  :D

Now 5524 posts in 444 topics by 5 members  :D

For the kind of community I was running (now ran by new admins since a year) I would say 100 posts a day average is successfull. Of course now it doesn't look as successful since two years ago it went in the high 300s for a while, but as long as it stays around 100 or above in average I feel it's fine, especially considering one year the most active site of that kind averaged at 30/day. It depends what kind of community you run, though. A 100-post/day gaming forum might require a lot of more work from you, because you're in direct competition with hundreds of other gaming forums that gets 10000 posts a day and a constant risk of losing members to those sites due to higher activity there (although some people prefer the opposite).

For me it's not about the numbers, but about the people.
If people find our site helpful then I'm happy and consider it successful.

Iv goto agree like i said if you get a good member cling onto them..

you can have 10.000 members that post nothing or you can have 10 that post lots and keep the site alive. in time more will see the friendly 10 peeps and want to join in.
