    Can Anyone Help

    Hi everyone,
    I know this is a strange question but does anyone know how much it would cost to set up a message board. doing it for a uni project and need to come up with a figure.

    Thanks.

    You can set them up for free, if you wish!

    You might get a better response to this if you put it in another part of the forum - this is the Welcome section.

    Oh, and welcome to Hexus!

    This message board runs on PHP, which is open source, so is Apache that it probably runs on, I am fairly sure the forum software is also open source. So if you have enough technical know how, you can setup some forums and all you pay for is hardware, hosting and connectivity.

    If you are in halls at Uni, you may have an ethernet port in your room, it which case it would be possible to setup a forum site running on your own PC, at no additional cost. (Though the university firewall will probably prevent it been accessed outside the university).

    You can set up a PHP forum free & simple @ http://www.phpbb.com/

    FOLD FOR HEXUS! It's your duty.

    This forum code is not free, but PHPbb and Simple Machines are.
