According to me if a forum has have good reputation and for some reason the owner is selling it then it's better to buy that forum instead of starting a new forum as it takes time to win the confidence of users.

I prefer to buy an existing forum site. In this way, I do not need to promote and just need to deal with the proper transition from the former owner.

When though I once bought a forum, I would rather prefer to build my own forum than buy existing forum. I can easily create a nice forum with a small amount but buying would cost me a lot of money.

Those that are experienced and are aware of how it works can create their own forum in a short duration and can work on it to earn and make more

I think buying existing forum is better than creating new one. Existing forum have some level of traffic and some followership. Therefore, it is more rewarding and offers better opportunities than new one. Buying existing website is more expensive than creating new site

You are right. But there are times that buying a forum might be a bad business. Because like someone that bought a forum for $28,000 and he hardly earn $100 in a month. Then when will he now earn the amount he bought the forum.

I think it's better to create a new forum, start from scratch. So that we know every development process, and when there is a problem we know how to solve it. Everything big must start from small, so there is no need to be ashamed to process towards success.

I think it'll depend on how much you have. If you have little funds, starting is better so your funds can be able to take care of major expenses till you start making it. If you have huge funds, buying established forums is the best.

I agree with you. There is no need to start a new forum if you can buy an existing forum which has a very good reputation. I believe that it is too risky to start a new forum.

That's right because starting a new forum from scratch and then promoting it to find more users for the website will take a lot of time

It is easier to buy a well established business that has been successful than to start building your own version of that business from scratch. Ready made is easier to use .

Yes it's easier and same way we can expect more growth if we can buy a forum like for example forum coin that has large number of users

The creativity needed to build a new platform from scratch. It is better to buy a functional site. Look how Jordan just inherited RIF and just built on what Devin had already done.

If it were me I would choose an existing forum. I would consider the existing forum because it has already some traffic and had already gone viral for that matter. There is no need for creating a new one.
