Which route do i go?

Just to let you all know GeeZus is in the first stages of opening the 'mac' forum. It is under development and looks like it is going to be an invite only forum so we will see how things go. For now he is just uploading modifications and tweaking the theme. I will also be assisting him with some small parts such as graphics, I will be designing and coding a new custom postbit for IPB..etc. Just sit tight because the site will be released very very soon.

Why invite only forum? Why not public and get traffic from google and get the benefit from the niche?

We were in the shoutbox there and he was talking about an invite only feature for the site.

Saying that eSO is a private invite only webmaster and programming forum and has done okay.

Well, the actual first few months atleast won't be invite only.

I'm not bothered about loads of members, to be honest i'd be well happy if it had like 20+ online and a small database of members knowing they WILL come back unlike other forums.
