I really want to start a online forum. but i cant either afford the domain or Vbulletin. perhaps some body could help me administer it as well pay for the costs??. because i seriously want this and pay for the costs? I'm sixteen so I cant basicaley affored anything at the moment


The forum will be discussing the total war series as well

I haven't figured out if you are an actual, serious individual or if you are a dummy account meant to parody somebody or something. I definitely sense a theme with you.

[stratigos vasilios]

Surely not, he has the code of honor! How do you get that btw?

Why would you want to open up and create your own forum when there is a perfectly good (and free) one here for you to use!

[Hamata]

I'm no dummy account :) I just think oppining my own fourm would be fun but i dont want to use PHP or something like that. well the free stuff anyways

One has to learn to make do with what one has. If "free" is all you can afford, then make it work. It is what gets posted that makes a forum great. The rest is just bells and whistles.

There is nothing wrong with phpBB, it can be whatever you want it to be, if you're willing to put in some time and effort.

In all due respect I belive that there was this big misunderstanding/ misinformation that's why i got perma banned. it was probly a mistake. because i got a bunch of computers in my basement and there is other people living in my house as well

So... it's the same target audience as this forum. Now why would we go to your forum and not just stay on this forum?

You ask us to pay for a website. In addition I've seen you ask moderators at this forum to administrate your forum (the free one, which you created a few months ago). Apparently you did not think the free forum was good enough.

So all in all: You want a clone of this forum with you in charge, without paying the costs of owning a forum.

Creating a forum is one thing, however you also want to make your own game (no mod) without funds and you want to make a mod for RTW. Am I right?

What's next? Rocket science?

[Hamata]

I've giving up on that

[Drunk Clown]

That aside, do you agree with me?

Hit the nail right on the head.

Pharoah (18) traveled back in 2 years of time is fun and he even finds what he ha(s)d done entertaining himself.

Heh. Still I believe you'll grow up to be a fine man.

The short and simple answer is that in order to be able to run a forum you must first have experience running a forum. If you need to ask other people for help you are definitely not ready yet: you need to be able to everything yourself, figure everything out and fix every little issue you encounter through understanding of the whole system. You cannot rely on people doing that for you, for free, and you cannot assume that even if you do pay them handsomely they will have everything covered (unless you are willing to accept the risk of all your money going up in smoke or going legal when something inevitably does bring it all down).

Before doing the hard stuff, I suggest starting with basic problems like this:

In order to understand recursion, you must first understand recursion.

I'll do it, but only if my forum title is Micheal Ironside Hand of Satan. I will also give you $5 to help pay for costs.

[Secura]

Let's keep things nice and friendly, okay?

Pharoah, good luck with your new forum... perhaps one day you'll be showing us and TWC how it's done, huh? :P
