Website Advice

[baby_mike]

Ok, so I'm on a Winter Guard team and we have a website, but but we want to make a web forum. I wanted to know what the best way to go about this would be. My coach put me in charge of this project, and ideas you have would be greatly appreciated.

freeforums.org

Use this, and for 5 dollars a month you can go from having <website>.freeforums.org to <website>.com/org/net

Or if you already have a server, you can download and install phpbb, for free.

I use freeforums or other free forum websites (just search free forum on google or something like that) but if you have your own website you should be aloud to put the forum from free forum under the domain name of the website, and if you running your website on your own server then just do what mandi said and buy phpbb and put it on your server, I don't know how to do either of these things, I've never had my own domain, but I do know you can do it.

You can use phpBB provided that your web host lets you use PHP and MySQL in your hsoting package, or what you happen to have.

But I personally do not like phpBB, I have seen to many of them been vandalized due to it being too insecure. So keep it upto date, don't add too many modificiations. And add some captcha or anti-bot scheme on registration, otherwise you'll get viagra advertisements all over the forum.
