See, thats why I am paying for it. I don't understand the coding for Phpbb boards and this guy who knows a lot about php is going install it and host it on his site for me. He will add a lot of features to it aswell. If I can find someone who can do it for free, then I will be sure to ask them

Download the board from PHPBB's site and installing it is simple enough. If you want modificatins, I'm sure there are plenty of sites with already made mods. They involve siply chaing the code, but they tell you what to do so no knowledge of PHP is necessary. But if you want to spend $60, it's up to you.

I don't need perfect boards, but... To me $60 (even American) isn't a lot of money, but its enough. The chances are that boards are gonna fail (face it that there are too many Shenmue boards already) If you wanna do it great, its just that 60 seems like a lot for boards that are MOST LIKELY not gonna end up going anywhere. Coupled with the fact that you can get some very nice PHPBB2 forums for free. Once again, its your money, your choice, I just wouldn't do it personally.

Well, I have been looking hard to find some help for free, I just haven't found any. Also, the guy who is going to make them, he said that all of his boards that he has made have had at least 1000 members. He coupled along with this some examples of them. If I had a link then I would give it to you and show some of his work

But like I said, if you like his forums, and wanna spend your money, go ahead.

Well, you see. I am not exactly sure if I am gonna do it yet. He has a major advertisng capabilities with his hosting site and it will be on wirtually, all of the seach engines. So I think in the end, it would be pretty succesful

I have talked to some members of both and they say, that they may even leave both sites to join. They are looking to go to a nice Shenmue community and get away from Dojo-ness. I don't want as many members as the Dojo anyway, just around a little more than here, except all active. Another thing, isn't the Dojo inactive right now?

I don't know. The server is down though, so who knows when it could be back up, if ever

"if ever", it will be back up, It's Gamespy! They've just been somewhat unreliable, the server will be up again soon enough.

Oh yeah, I forgot. It is going to be back up because there was some Shenmue news. If there wasn't, it was going to be shut down

i dont understand why the back-up forums aren't up! Hellraiser or LanDC have to link to it from the main page, and I think hellraiser needs to open them up. He hasn't been around or something.

Ok, I wasn't saying that is why the server was down. I thought that for a moment and realized there was Shenmue news. Also, Hell has been around, I talked to him on aim and he said all gamespy servers are down so he can't even access the main page
