Interview with James Atkinson, Founder of phpBB I started phpBB in the summer of 2000 with the lofty goal of providing my wife with a forum for her Website.
An interesting reading.

I think the mistake a lot of people make as they start an online community is that they don't start small. I've seen many boards with 10 or 12 forums, and maybe 20 posts between them. That's no way start. Begin with 2 or 3 forums to really get the discussion rolling, then expand as needed.
Also, you need a hook -- something that will draw people into the forums, and be a jumping-off point for discussion. SitePoint is an excellent example. They have a large site with a ton of content that drives people into their forums. People discuss and ultimately evolve that content into an even more useful resource.

That was good point!

The biggest thing is to listen to your users. They drive your product forward and they help you support it. Secondly, you have to stick to your ideals.

Smilies and signatures in forums are worse than spam.
