    I don't know if this is the right section to promote this. Correct me if I'm wrong. :D As title above, I'm looking several forum sites to join my network with these criteria:

    - Have 500 members and above.
    - Have below 40,000 posts.
    - General forum niche about gaming, fan forum (preferred Kpop fan forum), or entertainment.
    - Not a spammy forum.
    - Looking for server sponsorship to keep the forum alive.
    - Not monetize with any ads provider before.

    For joining my network, you will get:

    - Free hosting with fully managed server (you just maintaining your forum).- Promote, get traffics and help to optimizing the forum (as per request).
    - Other than above.

    I only accept one domain for forum, that's mean if your old server have 3-4 domains and not a forum site you're disqualified to request for sponsorship. Only subdomain of the forum domain are accepted. I'm looking to find around 10-15 forums only in order to give better performance and easy to control all forum sites.


    As for now, the server is still on 2GB VPS. However, if the server has been occupied with 6-7 forums, I'll consider to upgrade into dedicated server.
    Server are located at UK.

    Thanks Admin Talk. :)

    I have a forum that fits that criteria, however, I don't need a host, I assume you want this to be so all the forums inside this 'network' are hosted by you so I guess mine would be out of the picture. :P Still, it's a nice idea. Good luck to anyone who does decide to take this offer. It may be worth checking out. :) I Just don't think it's for me personally.

    The reason I'm offering this doesn't make any benefit for me, seriously. The main priority is to share the same interest on the same network. That's why I only offer few forums niche on the network. :)

    Just like normal web hosting out there, but it's free. With my 3 years experience on server administration and several years on coding/linux, I think that's not a big problem to me to run my own network even though I still need to learn. There's no restriction on how much space did you used or how you want your forum looks (even be a dinosaur, cheetah or whatever you want):P, but just make sure to be fair among all members including me, you can't put any ads on your forum.:D

    Anyway, thanks. :)

    I think this setup is ill-advised. I have seen networks that treat "outside" websites (ones that the network owner does not own) as their own, either pull a fast one on the outside sites, or straight up kill off the site. It's either you own the website, or you don't. Simple as that.

    Conflicts and conflict of interests will crop up.
