chronogamer28 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2004 Definetely recommend InvisionFree, because they have less ads, and you can pay for removal, at Proboards, you can't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jcguy 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2004 If you manage to get a hosting account here at Xisto, you can easily install a message board like phpBB and Invision. You don't get ads (in fact u can even put in your own ads), you can customise and change the design, be your own admin, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Loser 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2004 And also, by what I saw in the package list, since the MySQL databases are unlimited, you can hold as many different boards(In different folders), as only the size of them limits you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chronogamer28 0 Report post Posted October 7, 2004 I have an IPB right now, up and running great. The Cpanel might be confusing at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's good. I've got a Halo skin up and running right now. If you want to check it out, here's the link:http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chronogamer28 0 Report post Posted October 9, 2004 Me, I usually don't trust another person with hosting my boards unless it is a company server. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trekkie101 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2004 Most of these people own hosting companys, but some people are more stable than companies because there isnt much chnace of rogue users. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
musichere 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2004 Can't you host your own if you have this hosting service? I thought that this host came with Cpanel and therefore Fantastico (I'm not sure since I am still waiting for my hosting application to approved of). When you log into Cpanel there is a link saying Fantastico and then Install IPB 1.3 or something to the nature of that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trekkie101 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2004 Yeah you can, we were just having a general chat on the subject. But still SMf rules the forum world on every aspect. Apart from size, its far to small file size (Joking) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

unbeatable 0 Report post Posted November 11, 2004 If you are not very good at HTML the easiest thing to use is Proboards. Theirs r simple and easy 2 use! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chronogamer28 0 Report post Posted November 12, 2004 Unfortunately, Proboards has banner and pop-up ads that clutter the page. My preference is to go with either phpBB nuke or IPB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
