So for fun (and to exercise my brain) I decided to code up a forum. Here are some pictures. (You can probably infer where I got the visual ideas from)

This is a forum for people that have visited forums. This forum is for the newbie that doesn't own a forum to ask questions and discuss what they see if good/bad about the modern forum communities. No admin experience necessary.

You can call me cap, I came here from stalking AAF, and I am a php/codeigniter/wordpress kind of person. Also currently coding a forum for fun.

I am in the path of hurricane Milton. Directly in it in fact. This, according to my neighbors who lived here all their lives, said it is a once a century storm for the ages. The Tampa area hasn't been hit directly in over 100 years. There still is a slight chance it goes to the south. Saying that since I host my sites on servers on my home network there might be some downtime. The last hurricane which went up the Gulf knocked power out for almost a week. I am unsure what a direct hit will do. In any case my wife and I are prepping for the storm and once we have everything locked down and secure we are heading north to our other home. I do have backup power generator…

When I look at Discourse, I see Circle and Mighty Networks. Discourse is software you can install on your own server or through their hosting plans. Circle and Mighty Network are SaaS communities. You pay to be on their hosting plans, and you can't move away from them. But Circle and Mighty look just like Discourse's model and structure. It makes me wonder if they copied...

What do you all think about MyBB? I've actually been messing with it. I made an extremely niche forum for it, so it will have slow growth. https://www.outdoorwrite.com/ I used to use it a long time ago. I had to install an addon to make it "somewhat" responsive. MyBB to me have a GREAT look and feel but it's behind the times as far as features go and has been for quite some time.

I want to apologize for the downtime. The servers are located in Tampa. Hurricane Milton hit the area hard. Power was off then on then off again. Last time for almost 24 hours. The site is up at this time. I'm hoping the worst is over. Thanks for hanging in there.

You can fire up a docker container on an Linux distro. To install Discourse, follow these general steps: [HEADING=2]Prerequisites[/HEADING] Server Requirements: A server with Ubuntu 20.04 or later. At least 1 GB of RAM (2 GB recommended). A domain name. [*]Install Docker:Discourse runs in a Docker container, so you'll need to have Docker installed. [HEADING=2]Installation Steps[/HEADING] Access Your Server: Log into your server via SSH: ssh username@your_server_ip Install Docker:If Docker isn't already installed, run: sudo apt update sudo apt install -y docker.io sudo systemctl start docker sudo systemctl enable docker Install Git:If you don't h…

These are some tips for coding an addon for your favorite forum software: Understand the Forum Software: Familiarize yourself with the specific forum software you're targeting (e.g., phpBB, vBulletin, Discourse). Read the documentation to understand its architecture and plugin system. Set Up a Development Environment: Create a local development environment to test your addon without affecting a live forum. Use tools like XAMPP or Docker for PHP-based forums. Follow Best Practices: Adhere to coding standards and best practices for the language used (PHP, JavaScript, etc.). This ensures your code is clean, maintainable, and compatible with future updates. Use Hooks and…

What's everyone think about SMF? Simple Machines Forum has been around for a long time. Recently, within the past few years at least, they released an update that made their forum responsive. That's more than what MyBB has done. Aside from the looks (to me SMF looks old), it's fairly modern.

Have you ever wanted to create your own forum software? If I had the know-how, I'd love to create software. It would most likely be free software because I don't want to hassle making it into a business. How about everyone else?

Admins use this forum to talk amongst yourselves.

I posted this on my blog so I thought I'd also post it here:

I got the email that the site was open again. Good to know. I guess I never introduced myself. I'm Pacman. Good to meet you.

Yea I know it just got back. Can't be helped. I will be updating the xenforo from 1.5.14 to 2.3.3. Backups will be made first. When I start the backup I'll close the site. If everything goes well It should only be done a couple hours. See you all on the other side.

Site is upgraded to xenforo 2.3.3 along with a new style. If you find any bugs please post them in the Feedback forum.
