We are using "Proboards" for our forum.
They provide these tools without charge, and take care of the headaces of keeping it running.
Their system is based on advertisements, or by making a donation on the buttion at the bottom of the screen. Anyone who donates $6.99 will provide this forum with 50,000 ad-free pageviews.

They don't bother me one bit. Thank you for taking the initiative to get this forum online, I hope it can become a central meeting place for TelBBS related matters.

Oh well - ads are back now that it's March. Not too intrusive, though!

I don't mind the ads. At least you can scroll them out of the way. The ones I hate are the ones that stay on the screen, eating up needed space! ;D

No problem guys. I am not a hardware wizard or a software guru but I am able to host my own web server, ftp server, and mail server from my basement office. Check out this link and let me know if you would like to run a MySQL/PHP powered forum on my server for free, okay? w3productions.com/phpBB2/index.php

Google ads are a great revenue if they are ads you are making money from. I make anywhere from $150.00-$400.00 through Google ad sense. Copy the html coding and ad it to the bottom of your website (not your sales page, don't want to show them the door out) and expect the checks to come rolling in. It works. www.google.com/adsense/?hl=en_GBAlso a good trick to get your website spidered quicker. Google says no, but I know for a fact my new websites show up quicker in the search results since I started the program Jeff tell Becky I emailed her some pics but she doesn't answer her emails, I guess ;D

Hmmm
For some reason, I don't see any ads. Oh yeah! I have Proxomitron. Life is good!
Now if I could get rid of whatever ad/spy ware that takes 30 seconds whenever I type something onto a web page.

Yay! Another Proxomitron user! That program is awesomeness incarnate. 'course nowadays you can load the AdBlock extension to Firefox... So what happens with the browser that takes 30 seconds? Just can't type anything, or...? Try Spybot Search and Destroy from security.kolla.de? You can IM me if you'd like. A bit more.. instant. I figured you scratched my back with that software you gave me, I can scratch yours. Used to work for Symantec dealing with viruses and spyware. So if you happen to have NAV 2004< it'll detect (but not remove ... gotta love legal mumbo jumbo, might remove the spyware which modified the TCP/IP stack or another part of the OS and we'd get blamed for breaking the system, etc... spyware. At least it has web-links to removal instructions... Or you could do an online scan from security.symantec.com.

Best solution is to just setup your own forum s/w on your server, I never did like hosted services much. I think this particular system uses the old YABB s/w, which has been upgraded now and is much better and more versatile than this. It's called Simple Machines forum, and it's the best free forum s/w on the web imho. simplemachines.orgIt's quite easy to setup, and if Proboards has the facility, you can probably even export your forum d/b and convert it to the new SMF s/w. Cheers, Damian
