I'm starting a msg bard. Has nothing to do with sports, or women, so no competition for the Huddle. (I know if it doesn't have women, why join? :rolleyes:)

Gold Prospecting & Metal detecting MSg board.

OK, vBulletin or phpBB?

Do I need a stand alone computer or does someone else host it? I do have a 3.6 Quad Core Desktop with 1 terra byte hard drive and either 8 or 10 gig of RAM. It's just sitting here collecting dust.

How much programming do I need to know, or is it "Plug & Play/Template?"

The only programming I know is Fortran IV & Basic. And it's been so long, I'm not every sure I remember those! :eek:

But I can hand pretty good with "Plug & Play/Template" type sites.

Zod? Anyone? Any and all suggestions are welcome. I'll even supply the beer!:cheers2:

Since no one else has responded, I will throw in what I know. I have run both phpBB, and VBull boards. Liked them both. Vbull costs $$ phpBB is free. Vbull has dedicated suport, phpBB, has has plenty of user support foums out there, so you can get the help you need on either one.

If you pay to have some one host it (host gator/Godaddy/etc.) you don't need any hardware, other than a pc to access your account.

you can do just fine without any programming knowledge.

there are plenty of plug and play templates for both, but they are also as user definable as you want to make them. both have tones of additional feature plugins, pretty much if you can think of it, there is a plug in to do it on either platform.

You really can't go wrong with either one.

Great!

I am leaning towards vBull, only because of being a newbie and if I screw something up, I want someone to talk me through fixing it. vBull V 4.0 Suite is only $285. I'm not sure, but I think you get a 30 day trail before you have to buy it.

I just this afternoon, got my name through Go Daddy.

What about e-mail accounts. Some forums I have been on won't let you register if you have a free e-mail. (Yahoo, Hotmail, gmail) Supposed to keep down spammers. With all the free e-mail accounts, I'm not sure that's a good thing.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
