Does anyone here has ever dreamed of having his/her own forum?

I am not talking about a cheap blog. I am talking about the real thing... with bells on it. I am offering to the lucky winner a free forum... phpbb3. I will set it up, host it and develop it as we go along. phpbb has just released a new version of its phpbb2 forums. The new version is phpbb3... I will choose the winner in 10 days time by giving him/her best answer. Requirements to win... You need to tell me why you want a forum... and what will be the main subject of discussion. You need to have a good understanding of computers and the internet. If you have already built a website or a blog... it will be a plus in your favor. I will be there to help you... but not 24 hours a day. I expect you to learn... and learn fast. How do you plan to bring members to your forum? phpbb3 seem to have been improved to be compatible with the search engines... which would be great to attract new members to it. But you will still need members to get it started. The search engines won't list it until you have some good content. A forum is a lot of work. The more members... the more work... as you need to become a moderator. How many hours a day can you spend on your forum? What will you call your forum? I need a name so that I can set it up under that name. Your web address will be... http://yourname.aussies-online.com I have just moved aussies-online back on a US server. So your forum will be in the US... not in Australia. If you think of anything else you want to tell me after answering my question... just add a comment to your answer. Why am I doing this? I need a new hobby.
