Private Servers - Forum Hosting

IHateHomos · 08/02/2008, 13:01

Okay, again, still tired of those posts of all of the new servers. Sometimes i check the sites out, but they're all phpMyBB forums, or Simple Machines. those are both a little.. un-professional looking, yes?

Well, If you want a forum for your server (Invision Power Board 2.3.5) PM me, and I can upload for you. And I'll add a link to it on the main site forum.

Again, Send me a PM of what you want the subdomain, and what your server is named.

phpBB and SMF unprofessional? Of course, IPB and vBulletin ARE better, but let`s look a bit in these things. IPB and installing skins - A CURSE. phpBB/SMF installing themes - easy as pie I don`t know about vBulletin since I never used it, nor do I intend to use it. There are 3 decent forum systems for free, those are phpBB3, SMF and myBB.

I have of course no problem with IPB, it has a large theme database and quality mods^^

This is just my opinion

IPB is easy to install skins. YOu just load the xml file. Done. rofl..
And vBulletin, i dont like it to be honest, that is a nightmare installing skins until you mess around with it for a while, I just like IPB. I also host the server in your sig's forum

Well, not the .tk domain, but yeh.

There are many better free forumsoftwares than IPB. Also btw.. why dont you all just stick in ONE GOOD PRIVATE SERVER. Why is there so many crappy private servers, why dont make just one and make it good. And also, it should be made theirselves, not by sources which someone else have made. Would be also easier to keep it online.. just hard part is how to work with it, maybe having some meetings at IRC or so where different parts of private server would be given to programmers and then just gather those parts in server. Like someone will make NPCs, one makes lottery, account system, connection things, web hosting & pages (maybe forum?), skills, commands etc... Thats just my opinion.

btw, was this offtopic?

Umm.. well, I also have a vBulletin license. but really, I dont like it tbh. And most of the free foruming software I also don't like just do to personal preferance. If they want those kind of softwares i can upload those just as easy as IPB and vBulletin. I actually have IRC on my forum Portal, and I can add IRC channels to their forum as well. And reason people dont stick to one private server, is they all want their own. I don't have one. I really never have wanted one... And another reason it's not so good to have many coders, is everyone codes differently.. there isn't just ONE coding style to a language. And if someone coded differently than another person and they tried to bring two things together there would be compiling errors. So in the end , Less is better, but have alternitive scripters wouldn't be a problem because they all have to stick to the same format.

"nullified" "warez"
f-t-w

IHateHomos · 08/04/2008, 07:15

I have a vB license. But IPB, yeh, NULL

, I dont use it. Alot ofpeople like it though

bone-you · 08/04/2008, 10:21

I paid for IPB and am happy I did. It's well worth the money and an amazing piece of software :P

IHateHomos · 08/04/2008, 10:38

I only could buy one license :P, And nullified scripts for IPB are WAY easier to find than for vBulletin, you have to wait a long time to get them. There's pretty much only DGT doing any nulling :/
