    You should 100% do it in a niche you are passionate about.

    I wouldn't even consider it otherwise - it will bore you to death!

    Niche is a only one particular category for business. suppose health care, real estate and another type of business. means only one business related sites or a web directory.

    Just go with a niche that you're interested in. It would suck running a forum based on something that you have no idea about.

    possibly that of my health, because I am a doctor, so that we can exchange experience and the latest medical science.

    If I were you I would actually make a forum with multiple niches. Staying in one niche will limit your market quite drastically. General Talk has the largest possible market and it will be actually easier to market the site to the general public. Just look how many posts are in the General Talk section here!

    Just be careful not to bury yourself in bodies and bodies of work. Don't go too broad with your niche.
    Google "Health Boards" for inspiration..... or self-control ;)
