starting a forum

Assuming you are not able to do your own content, design, marketing, etc...
then you probably could get a decent start for about $1000 - in todays market,
even I have no fantasies that it may take some time to get off the ground...

1: You need very good design.
2: You need a solid brandable domain.
3: Start on your content.
4: Obtain quality backlinks.
5: Find those gem loyal members that
maybe even willing to help you out...

If you end up setting up something good, then they will find you.....
Being honest, it may take you a good amount of time to get off the ground,
but if you do not give up, and continue to improve your site, then it is possible...

To be honest unless you are able to create something that is fresh and new its highly unlikely that it will be very successful. With sites such as GFY and other well known adult forums most regs tend to stay put. If you choose to create a forum you will need to create something that offers members an incentive to come there. If you had an active forum with booming buy/sell, marketing techniques and lots of convo then you would have a fighting chance.
