(if that didn't make any sense)
Please tell me how to make a own message board site.

Proboards is ok
You can set custom Av's, smilies, userranks, and other stuff, but I'm gonna try php....

Hyperboards...Its great for people not willing to part with their cash.
I use it for my Board...Why don't you?:)

....Can i have the money now adam?

I beleive it's http://www.php.net
I use Proboards for my board

No. Adam just happens to be the name of the creator of Hyperboards.
But thanks for telling me your name...
Now you shall live in fear....oooohh.

Awhile ago i came across this
http://www.boardnation.com/
Have'nt used it but its worth a look.

Just to add to this as far as what kinds forums are out there...

1) Free, no server required, has ads and banners:

http://www.invisionboard.com/

You can buy this product too if you don't want any banners or ads. It'll want a fews things though. Just go to its download section and it'll tell you what you need. This is the one I'm using to make the Megaman board

I would say to make a messageboard at http://www.bbfree.com because you can upload a skin and it only costs 25 bucks to get rid of the banners

I'm using Proboards. I am going to add some modifications to make it look cool. Oh and BBFree is not good because you need to rely on their server and it might shut down. Only good way I know is to download Invision Power Board or something then find a host. www.50free.com is good except they are down...

I use EZboards myself. It's not that bad.


My board is at http://pub99.ezboard.com/fmegamanunlimited47848

You ahve to Copy and paste the link

hee hee its a rom site too mad downloads ther

You did a baaadd thing! That's a ROM site ~Reports~

Here is the link for my board

I fixed it

http://pub99.ezboard.com/bmegamanunlimited47848

wel its also a hosting site

It has Roms though, and that's against the rules.

If anyones interested, I could find an HTML guide.

I personally like hyper boards, well check out NG's

http://gohancharge.hyperboards.com

Well proboards is when you can put pictures and stuff on it.

try invisionfree, well forgot the address, but that's good as hyperboards and proboards, but hyperboards is better I think.

Just use http://www.forumotion.com, I have extensive experience with it, give me a PM when you need help.
I've ran over 3 forums over 2 years, plus being a co admin at another.

You're an administrator, for what a Harry Potter RP site? And I thought admins had to grasp the rules, like "Don't bump topics unless you have something useful and currently relevant to add."

Well, he did add another source to make a board at. That's kinda relevant to the topic, no?

Besides, no matter what you use, it takes time to learn and effort to build to get your board far and make it good. I mean, Doc spent like what, 10 years on IO so far? Yeah. (Doesn't mean he works like 24/7 on it, but 10 years of experience obviously starts to mean something at some point. :P)
