I agree completely, it's entirely saturated already. I'd never dream of starting a new forum on that topic with all the competition already in place. It'd be a constant uphill climb to say the least.

There are a few forums on poultry already and numerous FB groups. It's a lovely idea, but you are going to have your work cut out making something like that a success… I don't want to rain on your parade, but I'm a realist. I've been working closely with the owner of BackYardChickens.com for a few years and we often discuss online communities and their management and FB and all that comes with it. It's hard to break into a market that is already saturated.
i dont understand why fb is better! they just repost annoying memes and dont help you at all!

have a fb acc, hardly no friends, no followers and i dont get help!

hmm.. thx sumi anyways ;)

I would join a new forum about chickens, ducks and turkeys. Expecially turkeys there not much good info out there on heritage turkeys, but there is a ton of useless/bad info.

I don't and won't ever get a space book account. Nothing but nut jobs and drama from what my daughter showed me. I don't do drama very well and I would probably get booted pretty quick for telling nut jobs exactly what I think of them.

Um "spacebook"?

FB (AKA reposting stupid stuff, drama, memes and cursing)

If you really want to run your own, look at forums for sale. You can pick one up here and there for a reasonable price and it will save you that start-up hassle. I found a site some months ago where you can bid on forums and sites for sale. Do some googling :)

That site ticks me off… frequently. Like when you report soft porn and they respond by telling you it "doesn't violate our community standards" WHAT standards, pray tell?
