    Creating Forums

    I haven't looked into this much. I have heard I shouldn't attempt to create my own forum.

    To me it seems like a lot of work but it does not seem impossible.

    Any ideas or suggestions?

    You would have to know how a forum works.
    It's not to much work, it just takes time. I have started to make one, you can download it off my site Serversoft.

    Do you know any scripting langauges like PHP/ASP/JS?

    k1ll3rdr4g0n right I know a little ASP, VBscript, JavaScript. I'm a big VB guy and am the only person involved in projects at my work so I have an idea of how I want to handle this in code. But with my limited knowledge of web things I'm thinking of the best route to get the job done.

    Hack - Thanks for the link I'll check it out!

    Re: Creating Forums

    One of my biggest questions is which would be a better idea :

    A) Use a database
    B) Save changes to asp or php sheet?

    Use a databse no doubt. MySQL is pretty popular no a days (and its free + open source) except its under a weird license >.>.

    If you want to take a look at other open source forums try http://www.opensourcecms.com/ .
