Meh. |
| Streety - Jul-08-2005 server time | ||||||
As long as you know what you're doing. Seems kind of strange given the quality of some of the truly free and actually legal alternatives. |
| MikeDB - Jul-08-2005 server time | ||||
Yea. |
| Streety - Jul-08-2005 server time | ||
You're right, running an illegal copy of ipb on a server accessible to the public is nothing like warez or hacking. You see with hacking (though i think you mean cracking) you can cover your tracks and with warez once you download it nobody knows you have it unless they have physical access to your machine. What you're considering doing is similar to downloading music off the 'net and then setting up a radio station using that music. In effect you're broadcasting your illegal activity. |
| MikeDB - Jul-08-2005 server time |
| my father works with the government (the type that handles hackers and warez) and doing that is much more iligal then useing that free version of php boards (I never seen that post) because he tells me to report anything illigal. |
| Pyr-O-Rgasm - Jul-07-2005 server time | ||
Oh yes, free, but ILLEGAL none-the-less. Which is what our conversation has been about. |
| Red Squirrel - Jul-07-2005 server time |
| You won't be putting that public are you? since unlike software you run on your local machine, a pirated message board is very easy to detect, so to avoid loosing all your stuff later on, I would stick with a free one like phpbb. I'm not really sure what their policy is on piracy but I would assume they threat you until you close it down. Mind you, you can always run a forum converter script in that event. |

| hey Mikwiththestick, i just seen your posts about the IPB , i just completly installed one on my webserver, its a little complicated i have to admit...but its completly possible to do it free. First off ill give you the example for my sittuation, youll most likely be able to compare...well i got my ipb (full version) from a torrent site. So well once u have a webserver set up...for example Apache, you just have to make sure you have the MYSQL database server, and the administrative tools, then you set up the PHP of course, and you configure the apache's config file...once all that is done, you should be able to go threw the install steps of the IPB they make u go threw...but ull need a mysql database already made for the tables to be able to be created by the install page. And well thats about it. With all that done, you should have a site + a forum working. I did all that , and i have a apache server, and ipb running on a free domain. hope it has helped, if u need more info, ill try help |

| Meh... its ok i really dont need a forum that much it just fits in with my site. Speking of my site its coming along great! im almost done, I just need to find out how to make a login thingy and the ability for other people to upload there own pics skins and other programs etc... |
| Red Squirrel - Jun-30-2005 server time | ||
He'll wait long though. Like next Christmas probably. LOL |
| MikeDB - Jun-30-2005 server time |
| ummm ok. |
| Pyr-O-Rgasm - Jun-30-2005 server time |
| Yes, with so many communities out there, the last thing people want is forums. You could always wait until the release of SquirrelBBS. It's free. |
| MikeDB - Jun-30-2005 server time |
| Ok red i here you i geuss i should just stick with my free forums for now then buy a better version. Oh if anyone wants to set up there own forum for free goto http://www.myfreebb.com i was so glad when i found this the only thing is to get ppl to join your forums. |

| Normally, I would read everything y'all say. But, my head hurts, so I'm going to randomly say something.. CHICKEN FISH LIPS! |
| Red Squirrel - Jun-24-2005 server time |
| Nope unless you want to pay the crazy expensive price tag it has to it, but I would say just use phpbb. Not as advanced but IPB2 is not worth paying for, it's also a PIA to mod it and skin it. That's why you see so many of them using default skin. |
| MikeDB - Jun-24-2005 server time |
| So basicly i cant put it on my site? |
| Pyr-O-Rgasm - Jun-24-2005 server time |
| That if you use the illegal IPB software on a public site you plan to show everyone and their brother, you will probably get caught. These posts will self destruct to keep this site as out of trouble as possible. |
| MikeDB - Jun-23-2005 server time |
| Ok so what your saying is... |
| Red Squirrel - Jun-23-2005 server time |
| I could arrange that, but you can't use it on a public site, only on an intranet, because they'll be able to find out easly. They keep a list of all the sites that paid, I think. This post and any other related will self destruct some time. (just to keep this place safe |
| MikeDB - Jun-22-2005 server time |
| lol so i geuss you cant send me that free version of the forums you got therer and "forget" about the warez thing or is that asking to much? because free trial is just sucking more and more. |
| Red Squirrel - Jun-22-2005 server time |
| Oh ya, the windows evaluation version. I'm using that too. |
| MikeDB - Jun-22-2005 server time | ||
Nah but i think im way over the "evaluwation period" on it im about 1000 days over infact. |

| Notepad for life, Yo! ((ALWAYS capitalize the Y on Yo!)) |
| Red Squirrel - Jun-21-2005 server time |
| So then you choose notepad. |
| MikeDB - Jun-21-2005 server time |
| you cant edit with front page it just asks for your "editor". |
| Streety - Jun-21-2005 server time |
| I'm glad you didn't say Frontpage . . . I think this is what's called a breakthrough. |
| MikeDB - Jun-21-2005 server time | ||
Yes i can... Edit Plus2 |
| Red Squirrel - Jun-21-2005 server time |
| Actually I use winsyntax, which for some reason is no where to be found, but there's plenty of text editors out there. I had started off with notepad when I dumped frontpage though, but wanted something more advanced, and with tabbing. When working on squirrelBBS (something I have not done in a while. |

| http://www.flos-freeware.ch/notepad2.html I've heard about it but never used it. One of the applications on the OpenCD. I've used several of the other programs the CD includes. |
| Pyr-O-Rgasm - Jun-21-2005 server time | ||
Notepad2, Yo! It was made for coding. It color codes different scripts, line, codes, etc. Sorry I don't have a link to it, though. I design completely in Photoshop for my lack of knowledge in any scripting language what-so-ever. |
| Streety - Jun-21-2005 server time |
| You can't beat notepad for html. I use Zend Studio now but only because it is easier to write php code. It handles html just the same. |
| Red Squirrel - Jun-21-2005 server time |
| Frontpage does tables last time I used it, but I screwed up my entire site by having too many nested tables, it could not handle it. That's when I switched to notepad, much more flexible and more reliable. |
| Streety - Jun-21-2005 server time |
| If you want something slightly more lightweight (probably scale better) you could try phorum. phpBB probably has more options and available mods though. Also, I refuse to believe you can't do tables in frontpage, I would have thought frontpage would have been entirely dependent on tables. |

| I always save my downloads too, you never know when the company will start charging. I think I got a 2.0 somewhere. |
| Pyr-O-Rgasm - Jun-21-2005 server time |
| You mean... No more free downloads? Haha. I have 1.3 sitting around somewhere. Viva La..... Uh.... Saving files! |
| Red Squirrel - Jun-21-2005 server time |
| IPB charges now, so you're best bet is phpbb. |
| MikeDB - Jun-21-2005 server time |
| yes i do havel ftp access... but i just downloaded a template for it since i cant make tables in front page. |
| Pyr-O-Rgasm - Jun-20-2005 server time |
| Let's put it this way. From the look of it, it doesn't look like you have any sort of FTP access. THAT is going to be necessary for an IPB installation. I don't try to be an |
| MikeDB - Jun-20-2005 server time |
| it's not a free site tho its just a free domain name i dont think the domain name has anything to do with it. |
| Pyr-O-Rgasm - Jun-20-2005 server time |
| I'm afraid you don't know enough to install, run, and maintain a forum. None-the-less a site. May I view your site? BTW, it's Invision. Just checked out your site. Looks like a free site. Just so you know, you can't install IPB to a free site. Sorry. |
