want to start niche forum-don't know much about the subject

I have an idea for a message board in a specific niche. Visitors would come to find answers to their problems related to this niche. The problem is I don't know much about it myself. Hiring those who are knowledgeable is not an option, so I'm hoping someone here can give me ideas on attracting enough of these "experts" to at least get started.

    I was considering phpBB. I don't need anything fancy for what I'm planning.

    I though this site used vBulletin?

      Yes, it does.

      phpBB is pretty easy for a "non-expert" to use, though. And not a bad option at all, especially the lastest version.

    I'd do some quick research, educate yourself, and if you think it's a niche with profit potential, jump on it!

      I definitely believe that it has profit potential. So far it appears to be an untapped niche. But it could be that it's too small to get much attention. I think it's still worth trying though.

      Thanks for the answers so far. I have a lot of research to do it appears.
