BoltBait Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I want to add a discussion board to my web site and I'm looking for suggestions for software. Here are my requirements: - My web server is .NET - I only care about message board functionality - It has to be FREE - It has to be easy Anyone have a suggestion? Anyone have expirence with Community Server or ASP.NET forum? I suppose I could write my own, but why reinvent the message board?

usedHONDA Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 http://www.jconserv.net/ http://forumer.com/ http://www.forumhoster.com/ http://www.eamped.com/ Those are some free forum hosting services that don't require you to have a server. Unfortunately, they all look like this forum I think the best forum hoster is vBulletin. Every time I go to one of those boards, I love it.

BoltBait Posted February 12, 2007 Author Share Posted February 12, 2007 http://www.jconserv.net/http://forumer.com/ http://www.forumhoster.com/ http://www.eamped.com/ All of those are completely unacceptable. I want to host the discussion board so that I have complete control over its content. Any other suggestions?

I have already thought the issues through which is why I want to host it myself. BTW, I'll register immediately after it goes online Oh, uh... well, never mind then.

usedHONDA Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Ha ha. You can get the phpBB software: http://www.phpbb.com/downloads.php Or get the dull Phorum: http://www.phorum.org/ I would go for phpBB. It's what vBulliten and most all great forums are made upon, so it has to be good.

Bob Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 - My web server is .NET I think this means he doesn't want any PHP-based one. Quote No. Way. I've just seen Bob. And... *poof!*—just like that—he disappears into the mist again. ~Helio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedHONDA Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 I guess. Thanks for taking it out of that 2-way conversation platform. I felt like a public pm. BTW, how much information can you fit into that server? YetAnotherForum is a .NET based forum. It is the highest rated free .NET forum on 411asp.net. The forum looks nice. http://forum.yetanotherforum.net/ Quote "The greatest thing about the Internet is that you can write anything you want and give it a false source." ~Ezra Pound twtr | dA | tmblr | yt | fb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Yep, really looks nice. Quote No. Way. I've just seen Bob. And... *poof!*—just like that—he disappears into the mist again. ~Helio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usedHONDA Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 And the beauty of it is that it's free and ads are optional (I think)!
