How does this site work??

[IR3Ballah]

I want to make a small message board for my team and others i know. Can you tell me how this thing works and what you used to make it?? Im not really a web person either, so bare with me

[SkeL]

www.vbulletin.com purchase the software, buy a server, get mods, and you're in business. If you only need it for your team, just use a free webservice such as angelfire or geocities.

[IR3Ballah]

a server???
Mods???

What are you talking about, can you explain those things?

How much would i end up paying??

[SkeL]

Moderator to keep things in order, that's a human at a keyboard.
A server/web hosting company. You can't host a big website off a 56k modem. This is where it gets pricey. What is this site going to be for, I could save you some cash.

[IR3Ballah]

that would be helpfull... i want it to be a part of my teams site... Like, a team to team chat kind of thing....

[IR3Ballah]

oh yeah... i got dsl

[SkeL]

Then make your own website with angelfire. You don't need to spend 150$ on software, and another 80$ a month for webhosting if it's only for you to communicate with buddies.

i got one question about this sight. How come there is a 2k3 lcd section, Why couldnt it just be part of the LCD section

[Emmit]

cody....that was described in the very beginning when the 2k3's were released.

[jabbster]

Yep you could search that section and find out. The reason, in a nutshell, is that the 2k3 lcd is differant than other lcd's.

Sincerely,

The jabbster

Skel, how do i make a message board tho??

And no... i dont want it for my team only... I want it bigger than that... So I need to see about sponsors for it...

[cody11scrappy]

ok, i didnt reallize that

[MoogLe]

you're not gonan get sponsors just like that, and it's not that easy to get members either, start with a free boards service, look around see what you can find

[cody11scrappy]

just make like a guestbook or something

[IR3Ballah]

thanks for the help... ill post the site link here sometime...

[cody11scrappy]

meanwhile, you all can check this out www.geocities.com/theganggreenkidz

[IR3Ballah]

k i will... is that yours??

[cody11scrappy]

yeap

[IR3Ballah]

I like it... very nice... why dont you put a message board???

[smartLCD]

Hey where is the 2k2lcd section...? prolly a silly Question ,, but where is it at?

[IR3Ballah]

omg.... anyways.... back to the message board....

[SkeL]

what are you talking about? If you're talking about this site, you're looking for the regular Angel LCD section.

[IR3Ballah]

Skel, hes being retarded, he has his days..... well, tell me something... Cuz my question wasnt exactly answered... Whats the HTML for a message board??? Or what are the stepS???

[MoogLe]

well it's probably not simple and easy to do since vbulletin cost a bunch

[IR3Ballah]

thanks moogle... dam, i really want to make one, im going to research online to see how to make message boards....

[Emmit]

okay since it's not going to stop being asked

the 2k3 LCD has it's own section because it is an LCD with some of the internals of the IR3. This made it slightly different than the previous LCD's, and due to all the awkward questions regarding the 2k3's specifically we felt that we needed a special section just for them.

The 2k2 is the same as the 2k1, and the 2k's sp therefore there is no special section for them.

i got my webhosting from 100megswebhosting.com for like 10 bux a month. it came with the capabilities to do all sorts of stuff. phpbb (like aardvark's boards) and a ton of other cgi scripts.

[IR3Ballah]
