Forum ? to the creator
To the creator... (god) I love this forum and was wondering if I wanted to set up a forum like this but with a little different look and a different topic what software was used and how much space on a server it takes

I thought it was a good play on words. But I really want to set up a forum like this but about something other than Pc's maybe about music or something.

The forum software is Vbulletin . It is about $160. I have used it but tend to prefer to free versions now like phpBB and Invision board.
Of course, having the software is one thing, getting people to come to your forum is the hard part. It just takes awhile to build it. |

I agree. Our Living Better forums have been deserted since started.
Our forums use YABB. It's free.

Space is not too much, phpBB works well I agree.
You need roughly 10 megs of space initially for the database and it's first few hundred posts/users, the scripts that run the forum itself are very small. PHP and MySQL are required. If you're running a relatively small board, the older versions of Ikonboard use Perl and a flatfile database to solve the problem of not having PHP or MySQL, if that is an issue, but it's a bit slower. http://phpbb.sourceforge.net http://www.ikonboard.com |
