Just me saying hello!

I was just wondering about the problems you have been having - well I have been creating a website, started to do it on issues but I was getting too depressed with all the reports I was reading so I decide to obstain from it and I am doing a planetarium type site.

All I am using is (because I am broke and can't afford to buy one) is GeoSites to do the educational tour and news items. Then I am linking it to a site that runs forums rather than me creating all the codes - to be honest I couldn't be bothered downloading YABB or some other programme and then uploading lots files, too fiddly for me and I am too lazy heheh! Instead all I have to do is click on to my already made up forum change the colours and indicate the topics I want.

If you are still having problems with these guys running your site then I recommend looking at these ready made forum sites. Yes they may have pop ups and advertising but it is free. It might be worth a thought any how.

Only problem you may have is bandwith - with my site I am not expecting a lot of visitors.

Also if you decide to keep your server and site the way it is I would recommend you having a back up place just in case and make sure every new users knows about it. So if it goes down they will know were to go.

Any way the sites you could look up to hijack a free board is

http://www.hyperboards.com/index.html
http://www.aimoo.com/
http://www.proboards.com/index.html
http://www.conforums.com/index.html

I went for aimoo because they had a chat area and it seemed a big community - but to be honest I think I jumped the gun because I like the look of hyperboards and conforums.

Oh well!
