Default I want to start a gaming and technology community but how should I get started?

Hello,

I've been wanting to start a gaming and technology community for a few years now and I have no clue where to start. I do have a background in web development, server management, etc, but I'm completely lost at forming a community. I don't really have any friends online or offline that could help with this so should I just not do it since it'd be a one man show?

As well as being a one man team there are a lot of other gaming and technology communities out there that are really HUGE. My first question is should I try and compete with them or start out smaller?

I am interested in turning this community that I start from just a forum into something like MMORPG or ONRPG sites, but again they're the main huge ones that look impossible to compete with.

As for finding a team so that it's more professionally ran and managed, how should I go about finding team members? As of right now I'm a member on a few gaming and technology sites that allow project formation and advertising so I could use that but those sites are all full of little, immature kids. I'm looking to target a more mature gaming audience.

How would you suggest I go about finding a team for the following positions I would be looking at? Administrators, Moderators, Content Writers, and Promoters?

It'd be really good if you could give me a few pieces of advice here and thanks for taking your time to read my plead for advice.

Thanks,

Bryce.
