jrummell Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I'm slightly amused that the Paint.NET forums are running phpBB instead of an ASP.NET forum application such as subtext or Community Server. Perhaps its because php hosting is bundles cheaper than windows hosting? That's the only reason my personal website is php and not ASP.Net. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I have no idea how this is relevant to anything. I don't want the mega hassle of managing a forum server.

jrummell Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share Posted February 6, 2007 It's not relevant - that's why I posted in The Overflow . I've worked with both platforms, and I was just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Alright. Using forumer just lets me not have to bother with managing a server and a forum. Managing a server would take way too much of my time.

Illnab1024 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 forumer is a free server host - it is running on php, and is located on server 12 (of about 20 I think) at a server hosting service that forumer bought. Quote ~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HITMAN-X- Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Well phpBB is free anyway. Forumer really makes a lot of money from there forums because they put ads on them. Rick I understand you don't want to deal with the SQL database as that all you would deal with after uploading phpBB. But if you did host phpBB you could add stuff like Ctracker (Blocks and Bans Spam bots before they can sign up). Also running your own forum can only benfit you because you can add your own ads and have full control of every part. Besides once you set up the forum all you got to do is keep a back up of the SQL (phpBB has a back up button in the admin controls). You could even back this one up if forumer lets you and then up load it to the new forum so no one has to sign back up or re-make posts. Rick if you ever want to just try it out and don't got SQL databases I could set up a test run php forum for you to try. Quote DEXTUT.COM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirkFitzgerald Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 phpBB has been taken into overdrive by these guys: http://ptifo.clanmckeen.com I run 3 seperate forums using phpBB software, one I've been running since 2001, one I've more recently setup using CH216. This forum software is free and has a full self-installation package available. Rick, it's worth visiting Pierre's forum, ask a few questions, it's better to have more options open to you mate :wink: Quote In A World Of Darkness, Try To Be A Ray Of Light!
