Have you considered THE BEST forum software IN THE WORLD??? (License fees start at a reasonable 100,000 USD/Day)

Alternately, look into whatever Dr. Robert was running before Eels started hosting him; I hear that shit is bulletproof.

Isn't that basically just another illegal clone?

BitsyBBS is widely regarded as the best forum software around.

Where is Negi or Brie? Currently they are having log in problems with

Tinyboard v0.9.6-dev-22

But other then that LoL I am sure you can work with it.

I assume you are not intending to purchage hosting and then deploy the forum software there? If so, one of the many shitty free boards.

Remember Autophag who was Gay basher the drank a small amount of Benadryl and that converted him to a Her as Sophie.

He got Brie n Negi to set up the Tinyboard for a 4um about Spactics. Its set up as a Chan. Yea I could just link it butttttt will let someone else do that.

Sophie is in lock up in a loonie farm currently re his attempted conversion

Definitely not vBulletin. It’s a piece of shit. I’ve had okay experiences with phpBB.

Just for the result, the forum I'm thinking of resurrecting was originally an old ProBoards forum. I thought about creating a new PB forum in homage to the original, but the name I used for the sub-domain is taken and their staff said names maybe erased from the database in the future. Not sure if I should, A. Create a new PB forum with a sub-domain featuring the number 2 as a means of paying homage to the original, B. wait to see if the original name becomes available again, or C. setup the forum with a new board software and a new domain (possibly cu.cc) where I can get the original name back.

This feeling came to me after looking up the Wayback Machine which saved a good amount of the forum's "glory days".

It even saved some of the threads.

So here ya go, enjoy seeing where I spent most of my early days on the Internet.
