ideas ideas ideas! UGH
yeah well, I've setup my forum just how I like it... and I was all keyed up with my categories and topics when I started discussing my forum to a fellow webmaster (oh yeah it's a design and coding/webmasters forum) and he really turned me off the idea and suggested I do something else. I just had a couple things I wanted to run by you guys here at vBorg.
What are some niches that are just way too saturated? I believe most anything will work with marketing but there has to be some idea's out there that are just too saturated or monopolized to even try. Is it a good idea to be broad or specific? One of the idea's I thought of doing was a Guy's Forum. Having a section for babes, games, and beer (lol yeah I know) but then I thought "wouldn't it be better to target one of these instead of all of them?"

everything that you can find in a magazine is overused...
everything you already see on google is overused... so you will have to find your own niche if you want to have a part of the market... we can't really help you here, because we're all admins with the same problem...

What's a subject you are interested in? Something in relation to your own hobbies or skills will mean that you can probably create better content than a broad topic or something you only know a little bit about.

I'm a huge Dark Tower fan so that is how I decided what I would do. After many months of research, I found out there were only two other fan sites on the net.
One is wildly popular but very neglected, the other has been abandoned completely as far as I can tell.

You should start a forum because you enjoy the topic, not because you want to make money or make it huge...

Exactly! If it is not something you love, the "money pit" aspect gets pretty hard to deal with after a while.
Not only that, doing something you love translates to your actions and how you admin the board.
