What are your Forum goals?

Right now I'm working on the homepage graphics lol. It isn't up because I still have to find hosting for it and the current P2H I was with just died lol.

Awesome stats btw :3

 

My goal isn't really all that lofty. All I really want is the right amount of people so that no matter what time it is in the 24 hour time span, my forum stays active.

I guess in theory, with that I wouldn't need a mass army of people. Just a fair amount of dedicated ones.

 

I'm getting very close to my goal of 100k posts by July/August:

 

My goal is to reach 100,000 members and more than a million posts for CODForums.

 

What are you currently at? What's your numbers looking like?

 

1,661 Threads
5,295 Posts
2,670 Members

However, the leading Call of Duty 4 Board is at 1 million posts, and 100,000 members.

Other leading boards are around 50 thousand members, and above 5xx,xxx posts.

 

You can do it man. Keep it up.

 

The goals for my community are to:

• Get to 1000 unique visitors a day
• Get to 10,000 members
• Start generating revenue through ads (without using adsense) - at least enough to pay for the running of the site
• continue to add new features (I coded the site without any software so it is an ongoing process)

My site was just started in July so we have a while to go before I get to these goals but I am constantly promoting my forum and I believe I have a niche that is popular right now (I dont see reality tv going anywhere anytime soon). I am hoping that if I keep posting and keep promoting that something good will come from the hard work. Wish me luck!

 

My short term goals (1 year or less) are...

• Award all 30 "Founding member" banners to members over the next 2-3 months
• Grow to 1000 members. Currently at 82 so this will be tough.
• Take my 202 threads to 100+.
• Take my messages from 1500+ to 10000
• Get 10 member build theads started and have them grow to over 100 replies each
• Have a 1 year anniversary contest with some nice prices. The big goal would be to have them being offered by sponsors rather then come directly from my pocket.
• Pick up 30+ quality, steady members that love the forum enough to want to see it grow.
• Currently at 210 twitter followers. I want to grow that to 500+.
• Take my 37 facebook likes to 200+
