    RANT: Forums

    just a small rant of mine:

    Forums. there are very many out there. and theres quite a number of different forum programs available. but out of all these, the only ones i tend to get drawn to are the ones that run on these 3 forum programs: vBulletin, phpBB, and Invision Power Board. why? im not exactly sure. it may be the fact that i havent used anything other than those 3 as an administrator. it may be the fact that its very hard to find forums that dont use those 3. or is it just that any other forum program's just plain suck? :D nevertheless, despite what situations arise, my personal use tends to be limited to just those 3 forum program's previously mentioned.

    I would get Vbulliten but I dont have $150 to spend on Forum software that no one will post on. For some reason no one registers on my forums. :(
    P.S. I uploaded it with 3 small problems due to my own incompitence. You can get to it at forums.cybersimcorp.simmedia.co.uk

    Slimsim:

    1) time
    2) advertising
    3) better site
    4) better forums

    as ive mentioned elsewhere: phpnuke is really not a good solution unless you are going for a real community site. if thats the case, put better work into it. cuz just using all default options wont work. get some new themes, custom logo, more modules and blocks, etc..

    Time?!?! Who has Time nowdays?! School's going to start soon! :(
    Advertising... WEll if you count talking about it advertising, I do lots of it.
    I like php-nuke, It works fine for me.
    I wouldnt say no if someone gave me a Vbulletin License... :D
