Does your community have any competitors?

I'm going to leave it alone and let some other person get pissed off by this guy's attitude. His e-mails to me were condescending enough... I mean, if you talk to a corporation with that "I will sell my site to a real corporation." comment, you end up losing that person. I was ready to pay the guy 3,000 all I have to do is ask for a loan. That's it. I have a business plan ready and is already in the hands of an accountant. All I need is to hear her comments and then I'm going to a loan officer or investor.

The guy thinks I can't get investors. I already did 2 years ago, all it would take is a simple phone call and I'm in business.

 

We got a few competitors in our niche, one of them has over 4 million posts. It's going to be extremely hard to becoming the #1 forum in my niche, but I am confident that I can accomplish this over time because I have a plan to achieve this goal.

 

Wow only 28k and open since 09? That's pretty sad, my site has 32k and counting and we've been open since 2010....we just turned a year old this past october...to answer your question, yes my site has plenty of competitors but my site is more active then both of these competitors, combined.

 

Yes, it does. Not directly AFAIK, but some forums have topics related.

 

Gotta love that. You must promote your forum so much! I bet those competitors are always left wondering how your community is so successful.

 

Yup, and contests usually help that activity, but I agree, all forums on the net could use more activity. I wonder how many people are using twitter/facebook to help get more posts on threads and such.
