Can You Guys Help Out With Webhosting a Forum

#1 Post by Music Head » Sun Sep 05, 2004 4:44 am

Hey all

Can someone donate some server space to me so i can get my phpbb forum to work. My server is free so i don't want to change. If you donate i'll appressiate it so much and you can be a administrator for it and have a special thanks on the forum page. I know it's not much but that's all i can offer.

Thanks

I think you'll need to offer a lot more than administrator privileges and a thank you note on the forum page before you get any takers. You know that bandwidth costs money, right?

If your free web account doesn't offer phpBB forums then it's not very likely any others will either, and if you don't want to pay for a more fully featured account then why should someone else? ezboard hosts free forums, but they're not phpBB-based and have banner advertisements. Still, it's probably the best choice when starting out

Bravenet also has free forums, and they're suppose to be user-friendly.

What they are saying is that people who have webspace etc have had to pay for it so by wanting someone to give you some webspace they are giving it to you for free when they are paying for it.

I'd suggest Ezboard like someone else has already suggested. They're fairly user friendly and they're free.

Unfortuatly RD didn't have the same idea as me so i'm still looking. Because i only want the space and he thought i wanted a designer.

Lets all give RD a pat on the back for being the first to volunteer

PS. It's a him (i think, hard for me to tell) :lol
