Bumping this because it's about to leave us for good, and it's quite a good How To guide. I demand it be moved to T&C.

I concur!

It needs serious updating tho. :(

 

Then do it you lazy bum :P

 

It would be a shame though to see it go. You did a great job last time!

w00t i made my own forums

Ok. That forum is Ok. But on off-topic, putting stuff about Barney and Power Rangers won't be good for your dignity later in life. Also, correct anything that needs to be put in caps. It makes it look less n00bish.

The internet is just flooded with crappy one click free forums hosts now tho providing a susbstandard service and using MY themes without permission or giving me royalties. Hardly anyone bothers to make a proper website these days :(

I know what you mean :anxious:

If you mean yours then its a darn sight better than most of the rubbish these days. Of course none can compare to the amazing Battlestar Wiki right now :D

smf looks better then phpbb and you can mod it up loads

Define look, I'm willing to bet I could make a theme to make phpbb look like rubbish and smf look awesome, then reverse that effect.

 

 

 

 

 

But if you mean feature wise, phpbb has pretty much everything covered.

 

And anything it doesn't, pick from the near endless mods and i'm willing to bet it will be covered, if it aint - make a request for it. No dramas.

I highly recomend this one. Great support community providing quick answers, They are always working on new stuff, you can submit your own templates (and etc.).

 

And, its PhpBB3, like what TIF has... It is a little hard to understand at first, but the Admin control panel gets easier to understand the more you flip through the pages.

 

 

 

Also, if you want to fully run your own forums, they give you your whole forums, every piece of data, and help you on your way transferring it to your new domain.

 

 

 

Its what I use for my removed. (Sorry for the advertisement, but I though I might give an example as well.)

 

 

 

(Oh, and I believe that DigitalPh33r used this for his forums until he bought his own domain and transferred all his stuff there.)

Brought back from the dead? :?

It's really lame to bump an age-old topic just to advertise your own forum. Post advertisements here: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=144061
