I'd like to start a forum.. - Blu-ray Forum

garlad · 02-03-2010, 08:59 PM

I was thinking of starting a forum for my friends and I. Is this possible? How would one go about it? Sure, we have tons of ways to communicate, but this would be a bit of fun.

Do you have to have a website or can a forum just be hosted for free online somewhere?

Thanks!

I started to build one a long time ago when I was thinking about starting a gaming clan for gay gamers, but I didn't stick with it. It was a site called Sprig or something like that. It was very easy to set up and design your own web site and forums.

I used to maintain one for my local R/C club, I used runboard.com. It's pretty elementary but it's all free and if you know a little bit of CSS/HTML it's pretty easy to customize.

I still have my Nitro R/C car packed up in a box in my garage, haven't touched it in years

It is a Nitro 4-TEC and I put in the Pro engine along with porting and polishing it, that thing would get sideways doing 50mph with no problem

I love those cars, I wanted to get one but was more into planes and could never afford both.

Hey, Gar. If you start a forum, can I be a moderator?
