Ideas requested - Neighborhood forums

JamminR:
Ok, so I've got the site and forum up and running. Last Sunday 8/8, I emailed our community directory of ~75 listings (of about 100 homes) about the site and forum.
4 responded, 1 was asking if I could give pointers on web site for thier business, 1 updating the email address I used, and two who actually seemed interested in participating.
So far, I've invited/registered about 15 total people. 5 last month (the neighborhood trustees who own the bank account that pays for our water/electricity to light the sign at front, my neighbors closest to me, and the few who responded. Of those, 10 logged in once, 2 check in to the forum regularly, including me.
Bah. I guess I'll need to do paperbox flyers.

I'm building an "info" page for the neighborhood public site.
Plan on including a link to homes for sale within our neighborhood (found a local realtor that uses a company website to list by community), Local school websites, public services such as volunteer fire dept, garbage collection compaines (we're county, no fire/city trash pickup), pools/parks, etc.

Imagine yourself searching for a cool place to live.
Besides seeing a neighborhood having it's own website and forum, what info would you like to know about a community listed all in one place before having to call a realtor or emailing the person who ran the website?

I don't wish to go too indepth. I found an (OLD) site the exclusive (CRAPPY BUTTHOLE) realtor had before the developer sold the last lot. It had floor plans of all the houses here. I'm not going that indepth.

JamminR:
Its official. I've supported Ulyssesmod forums too long.
I'm editing/developing some content for my neighborhood's web site tonight and just found myself, for the third time, typing in forums.ulyssesmod.net instead of my own neighborhood's forum.

Hahaha, It's luring you in JamminR, you cannot resist!

People need help!
The world needs saving!
And it's up to you!
All you have to do is come here!  ;D

*on topicish*
I must say, our neighborhood around here doesn't have any sort of mailing lists or whatnot, we kinda just all know each other through our church haha!
So it's really interesting to read about how this is turning out for ya ;)

Very unique to Utah.

Don't worry JamminR, the more we can suck your soul, the better!

JamminR:
With over 80 homes in one neighborhood,  I only know about 10 other houses/neighbors that attend the same Church.
Now, that doesn't mean more don't go to the same, just means the possibilities are endless.
I live in a diverse, mostly Christian, area, all kinds of Churches.
Baptists, Catholics, Lutherans, Jehova's Witnesses, Jews, Methodists, Mormons, Non-denominational, Protestants, ...

Oh, and so far, only 5 emails since I sent out the notice last Sunday 8/8 about my forum.
It's been slow going. I did get an interesting idea back from one of the trustees though, which is what I'm working on this weekend.


I am JamminR of Ulysses.

Resistance is futile.
(No. No NO NO. That's not my domain)
I will be assimilated.
