Look into Vbulletin, you can purchase a license for $195. However, there's also VbSEO which allows to to use search engine optimization for your forum, I believe a license for that is $150.

You could also try Xenforo.

Thanks

There doesn't seem to be much activity in those two forums.

Thanks

Just my experience, I've found most offline business owners, if they hang out online at all, tend to so in forums specifically for their niche. ..Auto repair, dental practices, remodelers, accountants, etc.

If you can join, and not be overly promotional, it can be a source of leads. I actually know someone who claims that's his major source of new offline business.

Yea you will probably have better luck being more niche specific. We are all hanging out on warriorforum because we are into IM or some form of it, not because we simply own businesses.

Granted not everybody in a niche forum will be a business owner but it should become quite clear right away the people that you could potentially do business with.

I think that small business owner is a niche. I just looked at LinkedIn and found some groups there.

  I'd agree with that. LinkedIn groups are becoming increasingly popular and they're a great way to pick up some new business - try a search for whatever niche you're interested in If you can't find one, why not start one?
