Starting a forum

Post by ganonbanned »

I started a nintendo forum(http://nintendofanatics.aceboard.com) But there is one problem. within 2 days i recruited 10 members, But I originally wanted to add a User marketplace board. The format they use for This though isnt good, i cannot add forums, I didnt even figure out how to delete members yet (luckily, i havent had to) and I, The admin, cant even figure out how to view peoples profiles! I expected this to be a phpBB, does anyone know of a site that has free phpBB?

Thanks,
Ty

...phpBB is free. Or do you mean a site to host it?

I think I remember seeing one a long time ago, but I don't remember what it is.

There's always InvisionFree. You can always start on that, get some reputation, and then spen the cash to get real InvisionPower Boards. I really like Invision because of how customizable it is, and it has more features than phpBB. And you don't have to have your own domain or hosting.

Okay. And I'm fairly knowledged with phpBB (but it doesn't take a genius to understand it) and if you're looking for mods I'd be very glad to help out.

Your forums are nice, but I don't know if I have time to be active in both. Sorry.

well, he was asking for help with his site so I guess it's probably fine, but this probably should have gone in tech q&a rather than f42, not a big deal though I guess a mod can always move it if they feel the need.

What? That sites Nintendo themed, not portable themed. And it has the default phpBB skin, but that doesn't make it BenHeck2
