how do you make a popular forum?

Refraining from personal insults and encouraging differing opinions would seem to be a good platform, whether you're a lynx or a bobcat.

lol nice!

maybe you could ask how to make an awesome forum.

or you could post a game you either epically won or lost at and if the former make a bunch of funny commentary or if the latter asking for analysis. (the latter seems to work better for me.)

    Why not ask a question like this, " a pawn ( a low class, blue color worker like me, very expendable, not too bright just remember to move straight ahead, do not go to swanky places, will not fit in, " is able to promate to a Queen. Is chess really a Cinderella story?  you are sure to get some thoughts! Cool How'd you like that Sharon?

"When people win on time, they disrespect me, cheat, have no class, etc."

you have to attract trolls, then your post will be infested and then there will be random pictures of fat dudes eating cookies (sorry haywood) and other things.. to reword it your thread will suck.

That is the price of popularity.

   And remember, a good Post will lead to off topics from the original postLaughing Thats called stealing a thread to make it a great post!
