[Lil_Rob]

thanks for those link murat i found those free email for your site ones helpful ;)

[zoobie]

Great job...Guess you're tired of seeing this repeated.

Too bad you didn't mention the type of remotely hosted bb...but I guess you can't have it all done for you :classic2:

[is0lized]

i agree this should be made a sticky, looks like you took some time...

[Master_tee]

this is the best place for info here!

[Todd]

I'm not sure how long I'll leave this as a sticky but it looks like you spent a fair amount of time making the list so this is the least I can do.

Thanks for the contribution murat.

murat, ibforums is NOT ikonboard, it is now invision board

ibforums is different from ikonboard(www.ikonboard.com)

ibforums, when released, will be in php i think.

ibforums will come in 4 flavours:
ibforums = PHP/MYSQL
ibf.perl = Perl/MYSQL
ibf.lite = Perl/Flat-Database (less features)
ibf.x = PHP/Flat-Database (less features)

[murat]

thx. done

[trenzterra]

I think the main version of ibforums will be php+mysql though.

[murat]

ok
sitestats added and lots of redirects added

[badpenguin]

Redirection:
http://d.bz redirection

[Cyber]

thank you for mentioning that badpenguin! :cool:

[trenzterra]

add www.dhs.org to the list of free subdomains.

[The Red Guy]

Does anyone know what is the URL for OBB 1? Or is it the same cos at the bottom of the support is OpenBB 2.0 . Are they continuing 1.x?

[MrCary]

Red Guy:

Although I'm no longer affiliated with OpenBB I may be able to answer your question.

www.openbb.com is the address for both OpenBB 1 and OpenBB 2

OpenBB 1 Final will be released soon, and the next version after final will be 2.0 - The support forums are just a "sneak preview" of the OBB2 Design :)

I hope this answers your question.

-Cary

[[lhomme]]

What happened MrCary?

[The Red Guy]

I think Ace (Lindy) continued with the project on her own and if I can recall Iansoft called it quits. Only some developers went to the new site.

[MrCary]

[lhomme]:

I really can't go too deep into the issue, but I'll just say it didn't turn out the way we all wanted.

Although, officially, I am not longer with OpenBB, I might stick around and still assist users with support.

Also, please check your private messages :)

Red Guy:

Lindy is a "he." Also, developers "did" want to continue with OBB, but as you can see in the annoucement forum, all the developers except Lindy were let go.

I wish I could go deeper into, but I was told not to, but maybe in the future I can :)

Rather than creating a separate version of Invision Board written in Perl, we have instead decided to create a Perl module to interface with the PHP software. The Perl module will be designed to be included in any Perl script and will have an assortment of functions that can be called in any script to access features of Invision Board. Features such as the registration system, login system, profile information, post information, and more will be included.
ibf.x will be an experimental XML board.
---------

I have some other message boards for the list:

eBoard (http://www.edge-programming.com/eboard/)
SmartBoard (http://www.smartbb.net)
MercuryBoard (http://www.mercuryboard.com)
IcrediBB (http://www.icredibb.com)

[silverstarfish]

Originally posted by The Red Guy

Most likely they will be fast too, but the lite version (perl) will run on a flat-file database.

[The Red Guy]

Originally posted by silverstarfish

There is a chance that any database will get corrupted.

There is a chance that any database will get corrupted. But I observed that with a flat file database, it was more likely to get corrupted. I was using IB.

hii,

nice list..and very useful tooo..!

versiforum is not php+mysql its ASP...!

Am i right or missing something....if they have a php+mysql version..could you pls give me the pointer..??

Thanks
:)

[ideavirus]

Hii again,

eboard is cgi based..but its written php in the list...??

or do they have the php version also..??

[silverstarfish]

Originally posted by ideavirus

This is a common misconception. Both perl and PHP can be run through the CGI process. eBoard is written in PHP.

[pwnm]

On a similar note, you've got listed VersiForum in the forums system list - its ASP, not PHP & MySql - oh and you spelt it versoforum in the list ;)

[is0lized]

what about free EMAIL services? not just pop3

[Seldimis]

Another redirection service is http://zwap.to

thank you all. i added/fixed some links

eBoard doesn't run through CGI either, some of the files just have the .cgi extension.

[The Red Guy]

[silverstarfish]

Originally posted by The Red Guy

There are only about four files with the .cgi extension. They're just data files, all of the other files are .php.

[The Red Guy]

Originally posted by silverstarfish

[silverstarfish]

Originally posted by The Red Guy

No.

[The Red Guy]

Originally posted by silverstarfish


No. I've a query though. Why won't they name it .php?

[silverstarfish]

Originally posted by The Red Guy

They are .cgi files because if they were .php then anyone wanting to view the data files could just type in the full path and and user data would flood the screen, but with .cgi extensions, the server tries to execute the file, which it can't, so it just returns a cgi error message.

In the future this might be changed.

It's better than other remotely hosted boards, mind you. If you can talk about Ikonboard, you can talk about MyIkonboard.


And murat, you should seperate the good from the bad.

[silverstarfish]

Maybe you should change CGI to perl, as perl and php can be run through the CGI process.

[murat]

[Jan]

Come on guys, PLEASE only reply in future if you have something for Murat to add or remove because a site is dead.

[The Red Guy]

I think the link http://www.ibforums.com/ should be changed into http://www.invisionboard.com/ as it redirects to the latter anyway. However it sorts of promote the board that way.

Originally posted by The Red Guy

It does suck, in my eyes, but I know that everyone has different opinions. Another reason I do this often is because I am sick and tired of hearing people saying that phpBB2 is the best thing ever created. There are flaws, and nobody ever seems to admit it.
