Is setting up a crowdfund for a general discussion forum a good idea?

This is going to work as you planned, if you have some family and friends that are always there for you in good times and in bad times. Those that will be there to support you. Crowdfunding for a general forum will mean convincing more people about it's importance as well.

I think it's a good idea once you've got a well established community with many members willing to help pay for the site. Thankfully with Xenforo, you don't necessarily have to renew your license right away for it to continue functioning, though you do need to have a updated license for any crucial security updates of course.

Tough call! General forums face stiff competition. Can you offer unique features or appeal to a specific niche? If not, existing platforms might be a better bet. Think passion first, crowdfunding later!
