The idea of preloading a lot of topics has been presented here before. I remember one topic that was particularly relevant but I couldn’t find it so maybe I read it on another website like [Feverbee](https://experts.feverbee.com/latest) > [@chumstick](#): > > I’ll keep my personal thoughts regarding how having 2000+ individual topics dedicated to single questions may be a bad idea to myself for now. While @chumstick has chosen not to comment, I’d be reluctant to start a new forum with a lot of simple Q&A tpics. Gathering a core group of enthusiastic users would probably be a better option to encourage interaction. Anyway,you can ignore what I say but I’m also wondering if you’ve read any of the helpful topics on starting a Discourse forum: Blog posts on building a Discourse community > **[Building a Discourse Community](https://blog.discourse.org/2014/08/building-a-discourse-community/)** > > Sure, anyone can set up their very own Discourse in 30 minutes or less.

Of course we need content to convince them to move conversations to Discourse, to do this we need to put more content. My idea was to copy some of the questions I saw today in one of our chatroom to Discourse, but I didn’t want to post them with my user (it will look weird). Is there a way to create a dummy user, like admin or Discobot, and impersonate it to post questions and answers?

Wow! A big change from my old days using phpbb. In the past, admittedly a long time ago now, I’ve had greater success starting new forums by initially seeding some content. A little social proof does wonders for engagement levels! Would love to know whether it is possible to seed a new discourse forum. What I’d like to do is to create say 200 user accounts and roughly 1000 topics and replies before launching.
