I've searched and searched and never found an english forum that's for Miyavi. So I am going to start one! Do you think this is a good idea? I am considering using VBulletin, but I have no partner to help me. Interested? Message me. This is not an advertisement. I just want an opinion. So what you think?

There aren't enough twittering fans on every forum about Japan or Jpop to satisfy your need to gush over him?

NO way! Besides the world needs it. It's gonna be big along with yumeitsumo.com. ((Or at least I hope)). Look forward to these sites!

It would be a good thing to start on geocities, and use a free forum.. I think www.getphpbb.com got free forums.

If the site is getting better you can make one at for example www.ixwebhosting.com and get a vbbulletin forum.

I'd like to second phpBB as good free forum software. I've used it before and it's a cinch to set up and use.

Don't just make a forum. You want to dedicate your site to a celebrity, celebrities are all about news, you need at least a front page along with your forum.

Now, since the forum is not aimed at retired cricket fans, but young people, SMF would be a nice choice for the forum engine, given its interactivity.

There's a Wordpress bridge for SMF, and frankly, Wordpress is about the lightest site (doesn't have to be a blog lol) engine out there with hell loads of bells and whistles.

If you want technical help with setting it up, just add me on msn or PM me.

Click to expand...

If you are still eager to try to start that project, PM me. I don't mind hosting it for free on my host account. And if the forum grows, you could always pull out some bucks on the process by putting your own ad system. Something that is not possible on those free forums.

Oh, and I'll want a part of the profits if everyone start getting rich.
