Title: Which message board host do you prefer
Post by: CreamCat on May 16, 2006, 11:30:40 PM: Alright, I'm starting up a Nintendo based website and I'm going to be giving it a forum (not for awhile though), so I'm curious as to know what message board host do you prefer?

Post by: Sapphira on May 17, 2006, 12:32:48 AM: Well the Fungi Forums uses Simple Machines (http://www.simplemachines.org/), which is free...

Post by: Ultima Shadow on May 17, 2006, 02:12:49 AM: I like InvisionFree. It has plenty of options, but is slightly less user-friendly than ProBoards. I'm not sure about Simple Machines.

Post by: Insane Steve on May 17, 2006, 10:48:04 AM: Ya, I'd go with Invision. I've been on both kinds of boards, and Invision is just so much better-structured in my mind.

Post by: MEGAß¥TE on May 17, 2006, 12:13:37 PM: Simple Machines isn't a message board host, Sapphira.

Post by: Sapphira on May 17, 2006, 12:25:55 PM: Oh, right, right...
Well, why the need for a host if you've got all the stuff provided to make a message board?

Post by: Bigluigifan1.0 on May 17, 2006, 12:29:34 PM: InvisionFree, as simple as Proboards or whatever else may sound, InvisionFree has abilities to warn and suspend members for any amount of time you want, you can replace any of the images, and the banner, if you want a special skin for the your forum go to IF's official forums and look there.

Post by: nensondubois on June 17, 2006, 02:51:49 PM: just because of my Gecko recipe dosn't mean they should bann me besides it was a general cat forum

P.S.I won't abuse this forum.
Title: Re: Which message board host do you prefer
Post by: MaxVance on June 17, 2006, 02:57:31 PM: I don't think forums about cats want to know about making geckos. And this topic was asking about forum hosts, not just fourms.

Title: Re: Which message board host do you prefer
Post by: MaxVance on June 17, 2006, 03:09:38 PM: I can see that it is, but you shouldn't have said it was about cats. That sort of thing is awfully confusing.

Did you misspell "chat", then? If so, please try to pay attention to your spelling.
