Side-note: in two weeks the Hispanic Board has reached 290 members.
The board can be successful if it's good advertised (in local Messenger websites and in important sources like mess.be, like we did).
But first of all you have to be able to create it. And I can't keep from agreeing with Cookie's post
.
It's also very important you have a vast experience on this board because you will be able to take important decisions and to be able to act consequently as admin of a community. It's not only freedom and ownership. It's like having a store and having to handle with costumers. The better your behaviour is, the better the quality of the board. If you spam, people will spam, if you keep helping with quality, people will feel amazed about your board.
One could write a book on how to lead a good book (that one is not me, of course
)
