I've owned many failures of forums before. I wanted to see what it was like being an admin. Though I'm pretty sure they're all down by now

Isn't that the truth.

The truth hurts D:

I have, it's a slow growing site but it's doing well! About to do some massive changes in design. Looking forward to that. 

[Darth-Apple]

Site redesigns are always fun. Believe it or not Makestation got a massive site redesign like two days before its launch haha.

I might plan another site redesign sometime down the road. I think now is still a bit too soon haha.

I have owned many free forums (forums with no domain names), I have abandoned those.

Recently I launched another forum, this time I bought a domain name.

[Darth-Apple]

It seems like custom domain names help a lot these days. They allow for better SEO and the URLs are usually much easier to remember.

[wasi90lk]

Yes, if you are looking for long term success you will need a domain name.

A domain name costs only around $10, every webmaster should have a domain name.

[Darth-Apple]

I'm very glad domains are as cheap as they are. It makes it much easier to get a website started. The only thing that annoys me is when registrars reserve certain domains and charge thousands of dollars for them. It's hard to get a good domain these days.

[wasi90lk]

It will get harder to get a good domain name.

It is not a bad idea to purchase as many domain names as possible.
