I thought about doing this once. I'll just have to buy some PHP and MySQL books, then I think I could probably program one. If you really wanted, I'd help too  [N]F QUOTE(twitch @ May 23 2006, 04:44 PM) Either way Ganesh, it is still illegal and immoral. Unless IPS suddenly state that IPB is OpenSource and free (under GPL) then I think they should be given the money they deserve for creating such software. Can you imagine working at Google and being told, sorry we're using a nullified/craked version of this company, so we are so sorry, but you're not getting any money. I was being half joking/half serious. People who use cracked/illegal versions of web-software within the hosting service of Astahost should be made either to remove their software or find hosting elsewhere. Some people give the host a bad name, just because the domain where it is found contains something bad. For your kindest information, I am not here to get hosting or do I have a hosting account here, I just like AstaHost and all the people here (including you) so if you want proof check it if you like. QUOTE(nightfox @ May 25 2006, 04:06 AM) SMF is a great free solution. For paid, I highly suggest IPB. Though the price tag is a little steep, it is well worth the investment. Ok, enough about SMF, I am sick with it none of their mods are compaitble with each other and with the latest version and 95% of their mods are for YaBB not SMF (ok, there are a lot). QUOTE(nightfox @ May 25 2006, 04:06 AM) Just stay away from phpBB... I've never seen so many security holes in a single piece of software (excluding Windows, of course). I could probably hack a phpBB and I know some other people who could probably do it too. It has way too many exploits and SQL injections and the whatnot. phpBB should be banned.. I don't understand how people like it. And dont say anything to my cute little phpBB , of course I use it only for my Arcade Mod to play online with friends. But doesnt mean that they have a lot of security patches if they release a lot of updates, may be the updates are for enhancing phpBB, do you know?

I almost DIED laughing there! Every single phpBB update brings MORE security holes along with patching the old ones... you shouldn't have to create a patch every other week. The current phpBB release: 2.0.20.... that number seems a little strange. You'd think by now they'd be at 2.5.0 after all the releases to fix holes. When do they plan on reaching 2.1??

And nightfox, i shifted from phpBB to SMF following your advice. i really loved the automatic mod installation feature, but had some problem installing mods. It asked for the FTP account details and i gave it, but while some files in the mod package show success , one or two show failed. My SMF is at http://www.FundaZone.Com/forums while my phpBB is at http://www.fundazone.com/forum i'm still figuring out the mods part. Might need help
some somethe free host does not provide mysql database as their free service. Any BBS can run without Mysql?
Well now... I have followed along with BBS and creating forums. I just wanted to see what it was all about, and I must have found the same host that astahost uses. It is a pretty cool thing to bump into, because it is almost just like working through the Astahost forums. I didn't really do anything as of yet, but dang, I really like it! I think there will be a lot of work involved being an admin in my own forum and then come here to post, but as the idea is similar, there is a lot of priority and involvement level.
I would be involved with Astahost maybe on a more professional level compared to my own... but I would still be myself as to participation and how I will post to each. I don't expect I would have a lot of movement to my new forum site, but I would still like to have my crew be able to connect together... and not so much try to get them involved in web hosting! Ok, so I guess I am writing this post backwards... but I guess I can say I am now trying Invision... it was brought up so I thought I would give it a try myself... and since it is SOO close to what Astashost has layout wise, I will have to do A LOT of customizing! But isn't that what it's all about!!?? - skedad - QUOTE(skedad @ Dec 2 2007, 11:09 AM) Well now... I have followed along with BBS and creating forums.

When they decided to go paid, a lot of people split and went back to phpBB or went on to SMF or QSF or other big boards. I think some of them even went on to make MyBB since that board system is very similar to IPB. xboxrulz |
