I'm starting to get an itch to start a new forum again (partly because my once active Archie Comics forum isn't seeing much activity anymore, due to various reasons).
In looking at potential options, I keep coming back to the idea of starting a forum for discussion of the city I live in (and surrounding areas of course). There are assorted Facebook groups, various fan forums for the local sports teams, local news sites, plus sections of city-data.com and Trip Advisor, as well as Nextdoor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nextdoor), but no actual forum dedicated exclusively to everything related to the city.
Does anyone here have any experience with this sort of thing and advice on how to get started? I live in a big city so there's always something to talk about, but I have absolutely no idea where to start with this. I'd likely try recruiting people from Facebook and such to help as well (since I wouldn't be able to devote all my free time to it), but I need an actual plan and some ideas first.
