View Full Version : ###Devon/Cornwall Forum### ianmiller999 08 August 2003, 10:46 After the calls for a Devon/Cornwall section, I am looking at hosting a relativey small scale forum for the Devon/Cornwall mob, most likely only at prime time hours, maybe 24/7 Anyone interested just say so Boro 08 August 2003, 15:03 Yep, defo interested, let me know what the plan is :D S55cooby 08 August 2003, 15:24 Sounds interesting - tell me more :) ianmiller999 08 August 2003, 19:59 Basically I am able to host a site from my pc, because I have a broadband connection and have download some software. This allows me to host a customizable forum. The only problem being that my PC needs to be on for people to access it, but I do not want to leave my PC on 24/7 but would people be interested still if the forum was available from say 6pm till 9pm everyday or something like that. Boro 08 August 2003, 22:20 Im not that into computers BUT.... cant you just import an existing forum into a website and use that 24/7? ianmiller999 09 August 2003, 08:56 The problem with forums is they end up using a lot of webspace, due to the comments. I will speak to a couple of my mates and see what they come up with. Boro 09 August 2003, 10:46 Why not....... use the scoobynet forum and just have a thread specifically for Devon/Cornwall.... like this one? ianmiller999 09 August 2003, 21:06 There was a request put in quite a few times, no response yet, see bugs/requests section SHAGGYDOG 09 August 2003, 22:52 Ian u coming tomorrow to Widemouth?? Cheers ianmiller999 10 August 2003, 08:43 No sorry I'm not Boro 10 August 2003, 12:40 Sh!t today is widemouth :o TOTALLY forgot!!! SHAGGYDOG 10 August 2003, 22:08 i reckon a local forum would be good ... Eagle7 11 August 2003, 22:52 it is a shame we cant have a forum on here really. If we start our own it would be far better not to host it on a non-24 hour pc as some of us browse and post at funny times! if you know how to install and run the bbs software, we can probably find somewhere to host it. If we do go ahead i can help with the technical side of things as its what i do for a living. snowcrash 11 August 2003, 22:59 eagle7 i can give you an area on www.scoobyzone.co.uk if ya want...? email me to discuss... ianmiller999 12 August 2003, 13:21 It's not so much as I know what I am doing am going in to it blindly but learning quickly. The one I am playing around with is http://motorsport.ath.cx/forum/index.phpMaybe on may not depends when my PC is on, it was only an idea I had. If anybody with the knowlege and facilities wishes to create one I will be happy. snowcrash 13 August 2003, 12:28 http://www.scoobyzone.co.uk/cornwall/ [Edited by snowcrash - 8/13/2003 12:29:09 PM] Tracey 13 August 2003, 14:09 Well done Siy ianmiller999 13 August 2003, 14:35 Ditto Eagle7 13 August 2003, 21:01 Good work mate! ;) snowcrash 13 August 2003, 21:28 fyi: servers are all down atm until 2am due to updates (as per forum post) Eagle7 14 August 2003, 01:29 The site is now running, so all you devon/cornwall folk should get yourself registered on there and get posting! www.scoobyzone.co.uk/cornwall (http://www.scoobyzone.co.uk/cornwall) snowcrash 14 August 2003, 11:47 or http://cornwall.scoobyzone.co.uk :D [Edited by snowcrash - 8/14/2003 11:47:59 AM] SHAGGYDOG 15 August 2003, 09:50 nice one!!
