Sounds interesting. Could you give us a few sites?

The one I've used for years is domestic only.

You might want to check with PR Web to see if they're international (I notice you're in Germany)

There are some VERY good ghostwriters at elance who can write some awesome stuff for reasonable prices.

Some one could prob code you your own poker scripts/styles/mods/ and give you support forever for that amount of money..

Do you have any ideas yourself?

Thanks everyone!

Its great to read this thread... more so since the guy obviously had his skin made, and very well, and now the forum seems to be very busy indeed..

Can you please give back some advise on what you did and didnt do, and help this community by allowing others to learn from your obvious success.

Seconded. I'm always interested in hearing others' success stories, especially as I'm just beginning to put some muscle behind my own community-in-development.

And I don't know what people are on about with $7K being too much to spend on a forum so just buy one. By the time a forum is worth buying, you're looking at price tags in the $20K range, and the owners have invested quite nearly that in professional services. It's not at all dumb to invest $7K in a new business opportunity, and it's pretty smart to ask advice before you decide how to invest it.

With that attitude, how much do you want to bet you'll never have a forum that makes anything remotely approximating a real income?

A well-built community site can provide three to five people with a reasonable annual salary. Trouble is, it takes real time, money, and effort to make those sites work.

I have a forum for fun, not for money making, dont even have adds on it.

So... doesn't that mean I'm right?

I don't see your point.

Expensive skin, but looks bad. :cool:
