I'm just wondering, is it possible for forums to make decent money? What type of posting statistics would be needed to make a reasonable amount? 500 posts per day, 1,000 posts per day, etc? I'm guessing forums wouldn't make much money until they had over 1,000 members and around 100,000 posts.

Thoughts?

depends on what you do to create revenue.

Some forums won't be profitable with a million members.

You really need to explain what you're posting. I don't know what you're thinking.

I can't understand what is the final standpoint in this discussion.
The business plan followed by seo forum is different from a general or technical discussion forum but whatever it is driving traffic is also important right?
How come a million user forum not earning?

LOOK AT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

do you see any advertising? Do you see any "signups" for any advertisers.

resource-zone does nothing to create any kind of income And if anyone had actually READ the part of my post that says
