Two Admins on one board

[imported_HexOnxOnx]

Hi all

I'm in a weird situation here and I need some advice.

On another board someone had been asking for some new board ideas and some ideas were tossed around. At one point I had thought one idea was a joke and well I haven't had much luck lately starting boards. Well someone suggested a fast food board and again I thought it was a joke especially seeing the signature that the thraed starter had. Well I tried registering several fast food domains and most of what I thought of were already taken so I settled on fastfoodforums.com. Well to make a long story short, the thread starter asked if I would share the board with him and we would both be admins. I have never talked to this guy before let alone even posted in a post of his before this thread. I feel I have every right to take some ideas that I read in a thread and make them happen. Had I read something definate that the thread starter were going to start a fastfood forum, I woudn't have resgistered my domain name. Either way, this board will get going as soon as the DNS is complete.

I feel bad in a way for assuming that the fast food board was a joke and well in a way I simply read the ideas in the thread and felt this could work with some ideas I do have but I don't feel confident on having someone I don't even know share a board with me.

I had been a board owner for well over a year, I ran a board that had 3,000 members, 50,000 posts and after a year I ended it because there were maybe 20 posts a day and maybe 2 new members in a week. There had also been new boards popping up with the same subject matter so there was heavy competition...even had a DOS attack on my server from the biggest competitor.

Ideas please on the sharing the board situation?

he gave his idea freely.

and you used it

if you want to give him adminship at your boards thats totaly up to you. your under no real oblagation to do anything besides say thx

if you end everyboard during a slow time your going to have alot of boards in your life

but i wish you the best of luck this time around

[phill2003]

yea if he wanted to do it or be the first he wouldnt have shouted about it would he?

you dont know this guy at all you dont know what moral set he goes by, so you should learn something about him before setting up a joint partnership with him if you ask me.......

im working on developing a new forum, i was thinking about giving the idea off in a thread but thought about reserving it for my self, he might have done this and hoped to pawn off of you by not having the money to open another forum him self

Entirely possible. After all this happened, I posted later on another thread and out if nowhere he came along and posted telling me to take down my board within a week or else he was going to take legal action. He gave up on that idea quickly after a mod there warned him of his post.

i wouldnt be opposed to going into it with some one... but thats another topic

anyway he cant take any legal action. theres no real proof he did any work to create it, besides the worst that could happen is you close shop and go try again with your licnse and under a differnt domain
