asp messageboard/forum question

Monday, September 30, 2002 by Kinrik | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

sorry about the off topic, but i figure there is a decent spread of knowledge here, and I am getting overwhelmed quick out on the net...

ok, here's the situation:

I am setting up a web site and I want to set up a small, simple forum so that people can communicate. It doesn't need to be any where near as tricky as this site's, just something small and fast, hopefully in asp. I can't run perl off of my host's servers, and I don't know php. Any suggestions?

Again, sorry about going off topic. Thanks...

I have used free message board plug ins (don't know if that is the right term). There are a few good ones out there, I can't remember the named right off of the one I had. It was pretty good. Let me think and get back to you.

dono if there is such a thing as off-topic, here. Most of it seems right on!

This one is really neat... you can add a whiteboard and games too! http://www.groupboard.com/

The other one I used was Multicity.com. It looks like you have to pay some now. http://www.multicity.com/servlet/WebsiteServePage/webmasters/index

Have a look at Snitz http://forum.snitz.com/

It's ASP-based and free

I'll assume Pretender wants to live to see his next birthday and ignore the "f" word he used...

I got the Snitz board up and running...took a little modifying, not much...pretty pleased, I must say, although this is the first I have done, so maybe I am setting my standards low...

Thanks Ken, I'll check those in a minute.

I am now debating on changing...looks like I have a TON to choose from.

Do you know how hard it is to get a straight answe like this out of google?

Well, it is...
