Hey guys, I'm looking to set up a basketball-related forum, but instead of going down the usual route of phpBB, IPB etc, I'm looking for something a bit different. Something that is a little quicker to post on and read...maybe something like the "Yahoo! Answers" setup; a very simple, basic forum. Does anyone know of anything like this that exists right now? Or would I have to go to a developer. Thanks!
There are a lot of forums out there. Can you be a bit more specific in your requirements. One quick one that I do recommend is http://sourceforge.net/projects/fruitshow/ Fast, light, does not have user login, but works amazing well. Powers forums like http://crazyontap.com/
Thanks for the reply - that's the sort of thing I'm looking for, but I'd like it to look a bit better.
Another good forum that I have worked with in the past is Vanilla vanillaforums.org/ I have not looked at it in a while, but I was very happy with it when I used it.
Mr 81, Use vBulletin. Sure, the ideal vbulletin may come to mind - however this software is fully customizable. Look into vB CMPS. I even made a youtube video entry site off of a vbulletin once!
You can use questionanswerscript,its a yahoo answer sort of script. Developer services is needed coz you need to customize some function of your site to make it unique and stand up from other site.
