Will my forum take off?

I have started a forum because I feel like there is a gap to fill in the market. What gap? Between what and what? I have tried to answer this in the Welcome to the club and Please read before posting sections.

I am going to bring my close network to this new community. I have many doubts about its potential success. I am just in the action of doing it. Discourse provides a framework and out-of-the-box forum solution. It's really easy and it costs near zero to test the idea.

Any feedback or advice from HN would be amazing. I would be very grateful.

Peace
