If you thought starting your own forum was hard... well, it is. But, with a lot of help from your friends, it is nothing short of amazing what you could achieve!

Just take a look at www.a1businessforums.co.uk for instance.

Launched tea-time on Friday 29th February, today it's just 11 days old and already there are 88 members, 610 threads and a whopping 9,000 posts. That is some achievement!

It's anyone's guess what those numbers will be by the end of the month, but we know at this rate, it will be knocking the socks of its existing rivals in a short time to come.

www.a1businessforums.co.uk was the brainchild of Ray Burn, and as soon as he had laucnhed this brand new but empty forum, along came his army of business pals to help him start creating a very friendly monster indeed!

It takes a lot of energy, passion and persistance to create and maintain a forum, and a subject as wide-ranging a subject as business can be, is a mean feat indeed. It's hardly a niche area and takes some administering, but Ray and his loyal gang of mods and members are slowly attracting like-minded business people, people who want to be in business, and anyone else for that matter, who generally has a business interest.

The most appealing part of A1 Business Forums, currently ranking well on Google for Best Business Forums, is it's built-in harmony, honesty and general all-round pleasant disposition. Whether you are hardened by experience, a brand new entrepreneur or a complete novice, this is the place to be!

The current wealth of experience is nothing short of fantastic on this business forum, but A1 Business Forums wants to attract a wide range of people from all backgrounds who can contribute. You dont have to be running your own business, maybe you are employed and can contribute from your working experience. It's female-friendly, it's not all techno-geek, wizardry and gobbledegook business jargon, and there's even a private banter forum just to relax and chat. Everyone is totally welcome here and that's obvious the minute you introduce yourself.

A1 Business Forums also wants to hear your questions, useful contributions and generally encourage you to join in the fun and daily business banter you would expect in the workplace. It's the members that count, Ray says, and it's exactly that mentality that has driven what promises to be the Best Business Forum in the UK.

So it's hats off to Ray and as they say, it's business as usual, folks!
