Hi Ryan,
thanks for setting this forum up, I'm in Sydney so like some of the others mentioned, I relied rather heavily on the old forums for information.
The old forum disappeared because SetBB, the forum hosting company, went out of business and shut everything down without warning, which was a real dick move on their part.
For the past 10 years I've been running a football forum for Sydney FC fans (sfcu.com.au) with 3500+ members and 1.5 million page views a month, it's also a 3 time Australian football fan site of the year winner, so I have some experience in running football forums successfully. Feel free to message me at any time if you think I can be of help.
One thing that you should think about is having a set of forum rules pinned for everyone to see, it sets expectations and avoids 'I didn't know' nonsense. I have a set of rules that I'd be happy to share (although they're quite specific to my site in some cases)
If not, no problem and either way thanks again.
