    I have two ideas for forum communities that I would like to look into starting (both non car related). The problem is that I am pretty inept in making websites and dont know much about how forums are run, maintained, etc?

    I love the format of the vBulletin forums but dont know how to make one? What would some of the costs involved be?

    Any other sort of tips or ideas? Where can I look to for more research.


    Id really appreciate some help getting started, so thanks for helping out!

    It's good but you are limited on what you can customize. I used it for the short lived dysfunctionalchat

    Yeah the mods are a lot more limited then Vbull's. That was a main killer for me, I just have the mod bug, even for forums :D
