Let's say hypothecically, I wanted to start my own message board, but didn't want to use Proboards. Does anyone have any suggestions or websites thqt I can check out that give you an overview of what to do? Something like the php like Jerry uses for his gaming organization, (the same as DF and lejendary.com uses). Would it even be worth it?

well proboards has the obvious advantage of being free and does not have to be conencted with a website
where PhpBB requires that you have a website with SQL databases. Affordablehost.com is where I have the K&K website as well as the SEKGG.Org website. They are reasonably priced and pretty good about getting right on top of any problems. They have like 10 different packacges to choose from 5.95 a month to 75 bucks a month. Plus you can pay a yr in advance or quarterly so it makes it easier to manage payments.
I still have enough databases left on my website i could put up a phpbb forum directly on K&K but since i had started the Alehouse before he website i just left it here. Plus Proboards and phpbb are not compatable. once you are on one system or the other there is no transfering tot he other one without starting from scratch.

Thanks for the insight. After some browsing around the phpbb site, and several hours of tinkering, I decided to create this: 12.freebb.com/index.php?freebb=menmagicI am not trying to take anyone away. I just to compliment the other boards like this and OSU. After all, you can never have enough OD&D boards.  |

Somtimes I'm oblivious. ;D
