Hello all,

I've been thinking seriously about creating a forum on this nice unexplored niche i found.. but i dont have any experience on programming and i would say my knowledge is somewhat limited on how it all works..

Now i've been trying hard to learn as much as i can recently but i feel that i will need help with it.

So if you know how to build a decent forum and you can prove it + you can guide me through how to operate a forum + explain how everything works (how to market it + how to get revenue from it) i will pay you..

anyone interested?
tell me what you can offer me and how much you want.

Matt

hmmm I would have done it for free if I wasnt in the middle of a few projects but I have sent you a PM

why don't you just get phpBB and download it - its free and go on their site and follow the tutorials how to do it

Forums are very easy. Login your Cpanel (or any form of control panel) and look for somewhere to install scripts. Most webhosts offer PHPBB and SMF forums in the control panel for you to install...just pick a favorite. The PHPBB admin panel is a little easier to work with.

I started HostingIndustryForum awhile ago, and sold it shortly after I started because I had run out of time to run it myself. Unfortunately, the fellow who bought it no longer maintains it. But, to see an example of a forum I started, you can go check it out: http://www.hostingindustryforum.com.

Well youmay have problems getting Phpbb to work, currently I am. While creating mine I get:
"
