A worldwide farming forum will be to general and to big for a first start. That’s why I reduce my own temper and narrow the target population. Farming will still be the central topic, but it will focus more on tractors and equipment. That is my personal interest, it is wide enough to have a lot of site traffic.
Besides the specified tractortopics there will be a general subforum to discuss farming topics other than tractors and machinery.
If the forum is running well, and there’s a need for widening open the topics it is possible to open a sister-site with a wider target.

Scriptig a website and forum this big from scratch is undoable. That’s why I chose to start with a phpBB-forum. It has lot of advantages:
- Lot’s of features:
- Includes registration and login script;
- Has user profiles;
- Little features as post-count, etcetera;
- Simple to install;
- Easy tweakable;
- Easy to edit;
- Easy to moderate: topics can be moved in a simple way, warnings can be given, any moderator and administrator can edit posts,…
- And best thing last: it’s FREE!
I have experience with phpBB from the past and I love it! It has a few minor issues, but that’s the problem with every pre-programmed forum.
People not knowing phpBB can have a look on there demo-site.
It sure needs a lot of tweaks to end up as the website we’ll need, but it is a good thing to start from.

This blog is temporary. Farming Forum is meant to become a worldwide forum for farmers and related (like contractors, machine sellers and technicians, crop sellers,…) to discuss different topics in the farming business.
This blog has been started to get input from future users… We will be giving updates about
- Structure;
- Lay-out;
- Topics;
- Features;
- And so on…
Any sugestions that will be posted in the blog comments will be taken in consideration.
At last this blog will be used to raise funds… Putting up a website of that size is not cheap.
Any sponsor that is willing to donate an amount of cash will be gratefully tanked.
