phpbb does offer free hosting on their own servers. all you'd have to do is provide a link from your website to the bbs. a relatively hassle free setup from what i've learned while tinkering with one for awhile.Rogue 9 wrote:No, he's using Proboards.

Hmmmm. Didn't see such a thing while poking around phpbb.com. That's essentially what Proboards does, only phpBB's moderator options are better. (I like being able to split threads, something that EzBoard and Proboards don't let you do.) However, I like Proboard's superscript, subscript, and table posting codes.Darth_Zod wrote:phpbb does offer free hosting on their own servers. all you'd have to do is provide a link from your website to the bbs. a relatively hassle free setup from what i've learned while tinkering with one for awhile.Rogue 9 wrote:No, he's using Proboards.

Yeah, thanks for not answering my question. Look, if things go okay with the one I'm on, then yeah I will. This is my first try ever, so I'm going with free until then.CDS wrote:You actually pay for your message board because it's much, much better than the other crap ones, and you get a discount for the licence if you host it with the right people

Given that the website I used for my Proboards site was my subdomain on Kernel's server, I don't know how well that'd work for phpBB. I could probably rig a way to link to it, though. Put the link in a text document or something and then upload it...Darth_Zod wrote:phpbb does offer free hosting on their own servers. all you'd have to do is provide a link from your website to the bbs. a relatively hassle free setup from what i've learned while tinkering with one for awhile.Rogue 9 wrote:No, he's using Proboards.

Anywho, thinking about switching to another board host now, after getting paranoid over Proboards' terms of service. It'll be at least a day before I move, so any other suggestions?

I'm saying it because in my opinion thats an easier and better way of doing things. Why should people use BbBoards? Because it's easier to configure and has much more options than the vastly inferior phpBB will ever have. Why use linux? Because it's actually an OS.phongn wrote:CDS, you are treading on a fine line by going into threads and suddenly posting "use this!" instead of giving more constructive help. At the very least you could list out the advantages to using your alternative solution and why a person should switch to it.
"Easier to configure" and "has much more options" are not meaningful statements. You described phpBB as "vastly inferior" without saying why. I told you before, you are expected to defend your assertions on this board. Furthermore, you earlier posting on recommending bbBoard and an service provider bordered on spamming.CDS wrote:I'm saying it because in my opinion thats an easier and better way of doing things.
