So for example lets say we got gfy and xyz as main players for porn, then if I start a forum no one will post on it.
Thanks

Starting a forum is a little tricky. You need to enforce the rules to keep your content on-target but at the same time, allowing people to post what they want to post can help increase viewership and return visits. You also want to cater to a large number of topics but too many different areas will spread your content out too thinly making it look quiet.
Start your forum definitely, but consider :
- Starting with 2 general threads only. An "Adult Business" thread, and a "General" thread.
- Try to boost interesting, relevant, topics and don't be shy to start your own. Important topics attract people and invite commentary.
- Keep the spammers out.
- Let people say what they want but be ready to put the breaks on if you think things get out of control.
- Offer to let people promote their own sites in exchange for them promoting yours or attracting new users to your site in a nice, non spammy way.
- Stick with it. It may take a while but if you keep your site's content on target, others will begin to visit it and appreciate your efforts more.
Just my two cents.
Good luck!
