Well then good thing that I am not a liberal. I may lean left on some issues.. gay marriage and the environment (no, not AGW) but largely I would run a similar operation to this. Can't completely let the flood gates open but mostly is ok.
Well, you would need SOMETHING to distinguish you from this board, or you'd have no calling card.
I can tell you this - as can kfoo: Running a board - uness you are a prodigously talented code writer - forces you to rely on very expensive outside expertise; and that, right quick. Ya know how ordinary members can pin a thread on this board? Or start a peanut gallery thread wherein they - ordinary members - have the power of a senior moderator within their thread? Or nominate a post for post of the day?
Yeah - that's not off the shelf. That is unique to THIS board,
on all of the interwebs.
That is a
very partial look through the window of running a forum. When you come under ddos attack on a regular basis, your service provider will dump you (unless they do not know about the attacks, because you have a fellow with Gorilla Hands on your side).
You may take this as an attempt at dissuasion motivated by fear of competition. But I would remind you that I was pretty regular over on dot org, except whenever one of their mods banned me - and I brought content. In addition, long before we knew dot org wasn't coming back, I was keeping posters abreast. You've never see me badmouth dot org - only praise it or mention it neutrally at worst.
In truth, bringing these issues to your attention is a mitzva - a freaking gift. Ax around - do some googling. Running a board that draws enemies? It's no picnic.
