Starting another forum

[The Idler]

Anyone have any advice on starting another forum? phpBB looks like the best CMS.

phpBB is my personal favorite, but if you're wanting to spend money, IPB (IPBoards) and SMF (Simple Machines Forums) are good proprietary software. IPB comes with a mobile version, but I'm pretty sure all of them can be used with Tapatalk.

I love phpBB, but that's cause I do everything I can to use FOSS. It's also really powerful though.

phpBB is the best for free software. vBulletin is the best for proprietary.

Fuckin splitters....

Hey! Ours has a whole 5 active members when I fuel discussion enough!

[BIXX]

You're totally right though.

[Slavoj Zizek's Balls]

Yes, when you fuel discussion enough.

No there isn't, the internets is finite, not infinite.

[Sinister Intents]

You can look at my forum for some ideas, its tiny but bigger than I expected, but its not a split :P its not a split

I hope it was clear to the members of that forum that the joke was that I haven't really posted in a while :P

(Btw I promise that reply is coming someday).

Can you explain how something can be 'infinitely smaller' than something else? What exactly does that look like?

A) something is tinier than something else which is bigger than said previous something on an 'infinite' scale b) if I reverse a pair of your standard binocular optical enhancement devices you would appear smaller than I looked at you right ways with my eyes.

how about just 'smaller'

[The Idler]

I'm thinking it will more CMS, wiki and small forum now.

[Orange Juche]

Another forum, as in, an alternative to this one?

X is infinitely smaller than Y if ∀a∈ℝ X/Y < a, I suppose.

[Orange Juche]

If so, Idler, can you PM me the address once you set it up?

[The Idler]

I'll post it here if I set it up.

[Orange Juche]

Please do!
