Deospeon Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 Hai, I'm doing a Final Fantasy 7 Fansite. I'm dividing my site into 3 Parts... OEKAKI - MAIN - FORUMS Main: The Whole Website, will be enough space, along with images. Forums: My Forums, not sure, but still there will be enough space. Oekaki: I'm not really sure about this, as my members will draw, and space will increase. So the question is, Will there be enough space for my Oekaki Board? and another: I have a pirated version of IPB2.3.0, and NextBBS, which software should I use as my forums? IPB is like..so aewsome.. NextBBS.. I have'nt installed or tested it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 As I'm sure you know, piracy is against the law, so you should use the second one. But If you want to use IPB, go ahead, I can't stop you. I'm not the Admin For my forum needs I use services like PunBB and PhpBB. Just putting them here if you want to check it out. ~Derek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Why don't you just use invisionfree? IPB board that won't eat your bandwidth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvhc128 Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 You can use phpBB or myBB as a free alternative. If you really like IPB, then I guess you have to save up and buy the legal version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deospeon Posted November 22, 2008 Author Share Posted November 22, 2008 Lol Thanks for the suggestions but: I'm 13, so I can't save up to $149.99 to buy a whole IPB Board. I have my own views on the others. PHPBB: Its good, but too many system/mysql errors MyBB: I personally hate the design. PunBB: I love it.. but.. I dont know why I dont want to use it. NextBB: Im kinda hating it, although I have'nt touched it. I'll try going with PunBB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deospeon Posted November 22, 2008 Author Share Posted November 22, 2008 But WAIII? Invision Free.. kinda sucks. I used that for 4 Years and now its a fail. I've decided to make my own forums. WITH TEH ALMIGHTY POWER OF PHP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I use PunBB but when I tried to add a reputation system it didn't work so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvhc128 Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 MyBB: I personally hate the design. You can use different themes and everything should then be fine If you would like to try other forums out, try going to http://www.opensourcecms.com and find a good software that fits your needs.

esay Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I think vBulliten is good. I had an... illegal version at one stage. but be careful. if someone finds out it is illegal, they can report it and you can get in trouble. Someone did that to me and I had to remove it before they had a look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unveiled Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Well, depending on how much space you already used up, there should be enough space for your forums. You seem like you have been creating boards/forums for a while now and see why you want to upgrade to host it all yourself with PHP. GetForum.com is pretty good though, it has no Ads and I'm pretty sure they remove the copyright link now that shows you have a free forum.
