Find some hosting.
Download, untar and install the Forum Software
Pimp the forums to your mates.



or, just check out my profile, the VDS Pro comes with a 'quick install' forums (literally 2 clicks) and you're away

Indeed I am Lucy

Depending on what space he bought, you may well already have the Option to do as I say above, so if you can convince him to let you share it

or, just grab yourself some of your own to play with...

It was bought for me mostly any how See I'm a bit retarded when it comes to the internet... Ideally I need enough space for 2 forums.

I should have spoken to him first but I was trying to be all grown up and do it myself

Oh we do have the option. Right I'll shut up now and stop wasting bandwidth lol!

You can install as many forums as you like on the VDS Pro... a few thousand if you so desire

Good luck with it, we've had quite a few people upgrade their forums from VDS Pros onto Register1 dedicated servers recently due to a phenomenal growth rate (and some lovely advertising revenue )

go to www.photoform.co.nr - click on the bottom and set up a FREE forum to use!

I've just been through this process using eBlah (free, needs Perl on your hosting environment so is likely to work across Unix and Windows hosts, doesn't use a database). More information at www.eblah.com - no commercial relationship with them etc but the product is good and still free even if you are using it for a commercial reason.
