Hey, are any of you golds are thinking of making a clan and wants a forum for it?
If you are I am on a current term of where I will make a forum for any guy or girl who wants a forum and wants a decent forum. I am currently making forums for people who wants one for their new clan. I will only be doing this as a trial period of 2 weeks. After this time I will either stop or carry on depending on how successful it is. I will be starting the forum buisness on the date of 28th December 2004 and probably finishing on the 12th January 2005. So if you would like a forum for your clan, tell me your gold account name and server and I can make you one and give you the link for it here.
I have a good forum for The Last Nightmare (my clan on rev). I am also currently making one for The White Riders, they already have one but I told thrasher about my work and he said he would love to have a look at what I can do and he will consider using it.
Well, anyway, if you want a forum for your clan then simply just give me a call on this thread between the dates I have given and I will see what I can come up with.
If you are wondering how long I will be constructing your forum, it will normally be between 6 hours or 72 depending how busy I am and how many I am currently working on.
Well like I said, for those of you who do not know how to make a forum or simply just cannot be bothered with how long it is and how annoying it is, then just come and ask me and I will see what I can come up with.
So have a think if you making a clan or want a forum for your current clan tell me here.

Krome

I need a forum, for the game Im creating.
This is, of course untill I get the website up, where we will get professional forums, like these ones.
Krome
12-24-2004, 02:58 PM
I dunno, but I know one thing about them, yu do have to pay for them but I dont know any proffesional forum sites, sorry.
Jeffery
12-24-2004, 02:59 PM
I am familiar with proboards.
I prefer (thanks Glam) http://simplemachines.org
The skinning and module system is integrated, as well as the abllity to install uninstall mods with ease.
Jonspen
12-24-2004, 03:00 PM
*sigh*
All I need is a temp forum. Where my team can post the stuff they're doing, and the stuff Im doing.
Krome
12-24-2004, 03:00 PM
yes I have just been on that site Jeffery, it could come in useful for my work.
Krome
12-24-2004, 03:02 PM
Jonspen I can make you one, just not yet I am gonna go bed in a few hours but in that time I am having a shower then watching some TV. I want santa to come so I must go to sleep (lol, I am joking).
Jonspen
12-24-2004, 03:06 PM
Well it might nto matter. Jeff might be giving me a place for me on his forums.

phpbb is crap compared to simplemachines.
I've had both.
phpBB: Fully Modded. Has Cash mod, and shop mod.
MetaBB: RPG Forums, which has built in games.
phpBB 2: Just looks cool...
vBulletin: It's okay, but you have to pay.
simplemachines: Looks okay, and I think uses YaBB.
YaBB: "Yet another bulletin board."
InvisionFree: I guess it's okay, but it doesn't have much mods.
Proboards: uses YaBB.
Goliath Boards: Proboards bootleg.
Those are all the kind of forums I have in mind right now...
Jonspen
12-24-2004, 05:21 PM
MetaBB looks like a nice option..
The new TAO Forums with the games; they use MetaBB. So I think you've seen it already :)
Jeffery
12-24-2004, 05:32 PM
Too bad the other Tao forums can;t figure out how to do 30 second fixes on the black jack table.
And if you want an rpg game, then the MetaBB is fine. But it still has a poorly structured admin system.I had one for a while.
Yes, SMF is a take of off an old YABB engine, but it is completely reworked, and is one of the top of the free engine forums.

Invisionfree lets you have much much more control over your forums if your an administrator. Proboards is quite as good. I'm familiar with both. To check out invisionfree click here (www.invisionfree.com).

Krome
12-25-2004, 08:17 AM
Zahok, I said in between 28th and 12th then I will start them. I will make one of course just not till the 28th at the earliest, but most likely on Jan 1st.
Krome
P.S. You have to get gold staus to change your persona text and get a custom avatar section (I have gold status :p).

I also need a forum for my new clan The FBI on arms
Jeffery

One thing I would like to remind people who have others make forums for them is the fact that you are giving ownership control of your forum to whoever it is who makes it for you.
This means they can delete your board any time they wish.
If you want a board for your clan, there are several options for you.
Free Remote Hosted Forums (just sign up)
http://invisionfree.com
http://proboards.com
http://www.phpbb88.com/
http://www.1-2-free-forums.com/
Free Self Hosted Forums (you need website with php and usually mySQL)
http://www.phpbb.com/
http://www.phpbbhacks.com/download/3959 (metabb is a phpbb already modded)
http://simplemachines.org
http://www.yabbforum.com/
http://yabbse.org/
Many of the above also have paid upgrades.
I suggest you make your own forums, and then assign anyone who wants to mod it or skin it as an Admin. This way you retain the root Admin yourself, and are the ultimate authority on your forums.

How od you go gold status? u dont have to pay do you?
Jeffery
12-25-2004, 11:50 AM
Yes, you have tp pay to be gold. How do you think the server costs are covered?
Zah0k
12-25-2004, 10:33 PM
I am a gold account in tactics but do i have to pay for forum discussion ?
Jeffery
12-25-2004, 10:35 PM
No, simply submit a tocket here http://www.tacticsarena.com/gold/support/ and follow the white rabbit.
Krome
12-26-2004, 11:37 AM
Right Blex, lets make a deal here, if you make me a cool banner (something like yours with The White Riders written inside it) then you have yourself a deal. You get a forum if you make me a cool banner. How bout that, and you just give me the link to the banner on here.

Krome, stop trying to be helpful. Proboards sucks and you know it.
Krome
12-26-2004, 12:17 PM
Yo momma, I am not using proboards now. Your such a dick.
Jeffery
12-26-2004, 12:18 PM
So do invisionfree boards. So there!
(smf rock!)
Krome
12-26-2004, 12:19 PM
I don't use that either.
T3 Terminater
12-26-2004, 12:20 PM
Krome. You just feel stupid that you can't even make a decent messageboard. You started off on proboards and nobody wanted you making one. You suck.
Krome
12-26-2004, 12:22 PM
I suck, take a look at yourself then think about saying that again and then realise your last post actually reflects on you fool.
I actually use metabb now, so just shut up.
EDIT: So no one wants one now then, idgaf not my prob, i just wont do requests then, sod you lot.
T3 Terminater
12-26-2004, 12:23 PM
Ooo, Real special. Show me what you have made, you n00b.
Jeffery
12-26-2004, 12:25 PM
Kiss and make up girls.
And no offense T-3, but making fun of others boards when yours is painful to even look at is not that smart.
T3 Terminater
12-26-2004, 12:27 PM
Jeff, I don't care what you think. I don't do to much to my message board. So bug off. If I wanted it to look really good. I would
Jeffery
12-26-2004, 12:28 PM
Then don;t trash talk others forums. Simple as that.
Krome
12-26-2004, 12:29 PM
You couldn't make anything look good even if you tried. You trying to make something look good is like trying to balance a ton of bricks on a pinhead. Anyway, your in my face to show some work, wheres your piece of shit?
Jeffery
12-26-2004, 12:30 PM
PSSST, Krome, look in his siggy.
Here's mine. http://tacticsfan.com/forum
No, I didn't make the skin, yes, Simple Machines is a free download (and easy to install) It used SQL database, and comes fully loaded. Mods are easy to install (only requires uploading the zipfile and hitting install.)
Has Admin, Mod, and Global Mods, member groups definable by type or posts.

Heh, trying to act kewl, aren't ya Krome. Jeffery I wasn't insulting other message boards, I was saying Krome needs to stop acting like he could be useful for something. He isn't useful for anything.

Unless you have seen his work, how do you know what he can do or not?
Insulting him for past or present behavior is one thing, but attacking his skill when you don;t know his ability yet is not very smart.

12-26-2004, 12:35 PM
I told him to show me his work. He isn't, that worthless noob.
Krome
12-26-2004, 12:36 PM
UGH !!! I just saw T-3's forum, it is absolutely ugly, dispicable, terrible w/e u wanna call it.
Nice work Jeff its cool, I am registering on there yea.
T-3 your a mug, if you make a decent forum and stop acting like a noob I might rate you, but, until then I have you on my ignore list, so have fun on my ignore list.

Jeffery, Could you help me with SImple Machines?
Jeffery
12-26-2004, 08:25 PM
What do you need help with?
actgfin1234
12-26-2004, 10:38 PM
all of it. I downloaded it. I don't think I'll be able to use it though cause My host doesn't support PHP. You need that for the forums correct?
Jeffery
12-26-2004, 10:41 PM
You need php and a sql database.
Who is your host? Do you have an actual domain name, or is it a freehost subdomain?
actgfin1234
12-26-2004, 10:42 PM
I use Geocities. ><
Don't laugh! It's Free.
Jeffery
12-26-2004, 10:44 PM
If you owned a domain name, you could use 100webspace.com , they give you php and one sql database.
Tama Drummer
12-26-2004, 10:47 PM
If you owned a domain name, you could use 100webspace.com , they give you php and one sql database.
But they also now put stupid ads on every freakin' page!!!!!! Arg... they were supposed to be cool. :)
And you don't need a domain for that place, you can get a free acount.
I had one but it was at hollosite.com (I guess it's owned by 100webspace... cause that's wher emy acount went.). Cept, they said 99% uptime (something like that) and the whole hollosite.com isn't working now.
Jeffery
12-26-2004, 10:50 PM
Funny, my page has no ad.
But they do prevent hotlinking now. No banner hosting there. (only reason I was going to use them.)
Jeffery
12-26-2004, 10:51 PM
My guess is the free accounts got out of hand, they'll start restricting them more and more.
Tama Drummer
12-26-2004, 10:53 PM

Do you have ad blocking on or something?
And how do I turn on ad blocking in Firefox... I never had to on my PC cause I had norton.
