Creating A Message Board

I Was Just Wondering What's Involved In Making A Message Board? If Anyone Could Help Me And Lead Me In The Right Direction It Would Be Very Appreciated.

Its easy, really.

Just install a script and bam!

phpnet.us is free hosting with a zantisco installer or whatever and you just setup a MySql database and then install the script.

That may sound complicated if your a bit new to this stuff, but it takes 5 mins. If ya need help drop a mail bsssniper@gmail.com

Of course that was a very basic board. Your best bet is to use that to learn then move to "real" hosting and use something like IPB (Invision Power Board) to make a much more customizable, in depth forum.

*KNOCK-KNOCK*
oh, sorry, I'm a little late because I missed the bus...

am I right here to the "golden shower experts exchange meeting"?

well, phpBB is really easy to install, but you have to be aware of vulnerabilities all the time and patch,patch,patch.... it's just a question of time until the lamers from the country which is not allowed to become a EU-member (teheee!) will make a visit and try their shabby php_root_path attacks....like this lame subhuman did yesterday on suck-o:

Code: Select all

Events from same host to same destination using same method
=========================================================================
 # of  from             to               method
=========================================================================
  179  88.232.192.125   88.80.197.29     WEB-PHP remote include path

and another loser is crying because he found out he has no skills...

so if you're using a php-based CMS or BB you have to know that you will need to spend a lot of time with security issues...
