It was requested that we create a new forum for forum administrators to share tips on running a forum. Things like how to build a community, dealing with problem users, etc.

If you have questions or tips for other admins, go ahead and post here.

I smell bacon!

Don't respond. Your posts don't make any sense in the thread once the idiots have been banned and their posts are deleted.

Now that the spams gone it looks like my post above is talking about Rick! :rotfl:

Are you telling people to ignore me!

I banned the poster above you - r1ck was his name I think

that's why I quote the original post....

Running a forum can be apretty time consuming thing I'd say. Having to check back, update, plus the trouble of getting it set up in the first place. I mean, what if you get bored of the topic ten minutes after making the forum? Tough work I'd say. Blogs are probably easier.

you completely missed the point of this thread.

Rick, I think this would be a great idea. For many new forum software purchasers, all this stuff is new to us, and anything related to helping resolve issues in the form of tips and advice from fellow administrators can only be a good thing. Thanks

I have a domain that needs a forum like this. is UBB a software that i can install for my forum? how can i get this and how much?

I am using phpbb but i dont like it.

Let me know.

You can find all the info you want at the Homepage

ubbthreads is a commercial forum application; it is not free, instead you must obtain a license (through the order page).

After you've purchased a license and downloaded the script you would install it (following the instructions in the documentation).

From there you'd probably end up importing from your phpbb forum to your newly installed ubb.
