One of the things that I talked about was creating another forum with a friend of mine. A lot of people think that creating too many forums and blogs is a tough thing, especially with me going back to college; however, I think that this is the right move. I have been disciplining myself quite a bit since school ended and I have been preparing myself for the work load. You may be asking how I am doing that, but it’s my little secret. But, I have been ensuring that I get my work done and that I also don’t get screwed with school. School is number one!
With the help of my friend, we created a forum that allows for all sorts of debate. I really love to argue with people and my friends were saying that I’d make a great lawyer because I argue so much. Well, I chose medicine, but that doesn’t change the fact that I love to argue. On the forum, you can debate whatever you want and if you ever feel like debating with me, you’re welcome to join and we can debate. I like to debate, so I am willing to debate both sides, even if I don’t believe what I am arguing. And I think that’s what’ll allow the site to grow.
Now, I would’ve loved to use vBulletin, but I didn’t have the money for it. However, we decided that we would use phpbb3. I have to say, this program is really nicely made and it does rival vBulletin. It was difficult at first to deal with, but I really think that it is a great program and if you are looking to create a forum on free software, go with phpbb3. It is the fourth release of phpbb3 and it is pretty much bug free; but there are always going to be more releases, the same as for any other forum software. I am excited to get this forum big, but I know it’ll rely heavily on word of mouth advertising. We’ll see.
It takes a lot out of me to write these blog posts. Buy me a beer to cool me off!
