How long did it take to get your forum where you wanted it?


When you started your forum, how long did it take you between acquiring your vBulletin license and "finishing" it to the point where you didn't have any more things to add and you felt it was ready for the spotlight? (I know it's never really finished...)

I'm almost at that point now and it's been 10 months. It will be there when I finally get the cross browser issues resolved and a logo... should be soon.

Re: How long did it take to get your forum where you wanted it?


It probably took me about 3 months to get it 90% the way I wanted. After 7 months I've just added vBSEO so it's starting all over again. But it ranks well and the pages are almost fully indexed now and it's exactly 4 weeks since we installed it.

But as you say, you're never fully finished, it's a continuing circle. If it were to stay where it is, it would be finished. But I have some advertising channels to get sorted and I hope to bring in thousands of unique extra visits each day if it comes off. Then I'll need to move servers to cope. So I might just move now while I can handle it without the pressure.

I think if your site is finished, it will be finished, literally. You need to keep changing your site all the time to keep up with demand and to keep your members happy.
