Setting up your own forums -
First select your software - some are free - some you pay for.
Select your domain name and pay for it.
Select your web host - $20 bucks and up. Important thing is to make sure that it will handle ASP pages and allow uploads.
Install your software - configure it - sit back and wait for the fun to begin.
I've set up several forums - NOVAPS is one. It's using a free software that I paid the guy like $40 bucks to remove his links - though you can use it perfectly fine with them. And there are others out there. I know that WNYPA (Western New York Powerstroke Association) was using the same thing - don't know if they have changed or not.
You will have to come up with your own rules of course and in no time at all you will be labeled a Nazi, Lester clone, whatever. I don't have that problem since we are just a forum for our club.
Good luck and have fun with it -
Ron
