I've started up my web forum again after a several year gap. It took some
time to find a decent web host that wouldn't rake me over the coals. I
could use some advice and perhaps a good look over.
Click on the forum link on the left of this web page. I'd appriciate it.

Thanks again.

Monitor your forum to see how much use it gets. If it doesn't get much
use, consider converting it to a PHP-based board which doesn't require
registration. Users are often unwilling to go to the trouble of
registering for a forum which sees a low volume of traffic. Just a
thought. Otherwise it looks good.

To clarify, I mean a solely PHP-based system (search for PHP message
board online - there are several around - or write your own) rather than
a PHP-driven front end and a database-driven back end.

I had forgotten to change the board so that unregistered users could read
it. Last time I tried having unreg users post too but that became a
disaster pretty quick. I'm unfamiliar with this other php based system,
I'll have to look it up. Thanks!
