[*DAMN Sundance]

Hey everyone (especially Mauti).

Ah, i havnt talked to you all in a while. I got this new pc and have been trying my hand at counter-strike. It is nowhere near as good as R6. I also got GR in some freeware that came w/ my geforce card, so i can play with that some too.

What this post is about really is my new website. Ive been fiddling around on angelfire recently, but i'm about to purchase my own domain. I havn't figured out a name yet, but i know it'll be like an online portfolio/newspaper with random articles and stuff. I  was planning on getting hosted by ADDR.com and a name from Godaddy.com, but if you (mauti or anyone) have any suggestions about who i should get forums from or anything else, i'd really appreciate it.  

The site is gonna be off the chain. And i'll have a *DAMN link on the home page for sure. If anyone has any ideas, email me at sundance@swbell.net, or im me on aim @ "lowbirdsofcomply".

You can get free forums from http://www.phpbb.com/
But your server needs to support php, and you need a php database  

Good luck

Hi Sundance,

I hope you are fine. I don't know much about hosting services and who is the cheapest and most reliable one. Since I'm hosted at PR6 I never had to worry about hosts  . However these forums are from YaBB - you can get one for free at www.yabbse.org.

They have a great support but also Joka's suggestions is a very good board. Yabb requires PHP support.

Have a nice day and I'm curious to see your website online.

Bye,

Mauti

BTs_Fusion, pls talk to him, he's a cool cat and he's really just tying to get his comapny on the map, so help the man out! his e-mail : fusion@battleteksquad.com


   See you!

Yabbse and yabb arn't really in development any more... I use Yabbse currently (as does the lovely DAMN forums obviously) but id suggest keeping an eye on
http://www.simplemachines.org/index.php ... its the development team from yabbse plus some more...  They love the Mac OS interface btw and there is some strong influence.. anyway the inportant thing is that the new forum looks pretty hot.
