    Friends
In summary, the conversation revolves around the idea of creating a forum with a specific topic to attract more traffic and potentially become a "global neighborhood watch." The suggestion is to have a unique feature or skin for the forum. One person mentions their country not being represented and another suggests posting on the site for improvement ideas. The conversation also touches on the idea of meeting friends online and the possibility of meeting in person. The conversation ends with a joke about a Polish forum and the importance of having a distinct topic for a successful forum.

I've met a lot of really good friends online, and met a few in real life already.

Good one coming up with a board. My suggestion is if you're going to start a forum, you got to have a specific topic that you want to talk about whether it's Tech forum, philosophy, pets, politics or whatever. There's millions of useless forums crowding the Internet with very little to no traffic. It's important to come up with an original idea, or feature on your site that will draw people in and make them stay.

You may also want to implement a different skin for your board that will complement your subject.

the idea of this board is that if we could eventually get enough traffic it could potentially become a 'global neighborhood watch' type thing

There's no Poland. Anyway, it's not a good idea to create something like that. If I want to talk with people from my own country I would just find another forum. :grumpy: [www.matematyka.org/forum/index.php - if anyone of you know polish then... I'm joking, but you can create your own thread in english there, it would be nice :biggrin: ]
