That's utter bullshit. I would love to be a part of an active blogging community. The closest thing I could find was the blogging subsection of DigitalPoint. Which is inactive as fudge.

Thanks.

Depends, If you just pm me your forum and I'll take a look and say how much I'm willing to pay.

Wow this is terrible.
If someone sells you their forum, chances are the community will lose interest because a lot of members stay on a forum because they respect the owner and enjoy posting on their forum. Do it yourself.
Just because no one on SF or HF joined your forum after two days, doesn't mean their is no demand.

Random blog owners...yeah. You can't just spam them and hope they join. You need to build a relationship.

I understand but it is very hard to build relationships with random people, I am starting to talk to a few blog owners a lot more so hopefully in a few months I should have a few active high quality members on the forum.

I would want to join an ACTIVE blogging forum to get the latest information on various blogging tips and tricks, important plugins, and themes for my blog. Basically, I'd want something to assist me in making my blog better than my competitors.
What would I post? Feedback for people asking about various aspects of their site. I would post in SEO-based sections, and help out with the Wordpress and Blogger software where necessary.
What do I look for? A comfortable and attractive place to post. Along with activity. That's anything anyone looks for in a forum.
