Hosting a Discussion Forum

[GreatPaulC]

:confused; I m trying to put up a Discussion Forum on my website, does anyone have any tuturials for hosting Forums? Anything will do. thanks.

yeah - got loads, really good, powerfull message boards.
how you planning to do this PHP / MySQL?

[GreatPaulC]

Most likely PHP.:beer;

[davebusey]

ok, so are you building this from scratch? how many users do you expect to
have, there are some great free BB's that require a small amount of time to set
up, but they are really powerful. You host them on your own server, and have
full control of them, so you can apply mods at your leasure!

Yes, I m building from scratch and I m probably expecting maybe a couple
hundred users in the beginning and then maybe more in the future. Can you
send me links for the tuturials or samples?
Thanks for your help.:)
