I have a geocities Website (http://www.geocities.com/tom_archeruk)
and am just wondering whether it is possible to use a decent forum on it. Has any one got any ideas/ suggestion of how to accomplish this. Or any ideas on what board i should use?

In answer to the original post...

If GeoCities give you cgi, then you could try IkonBoard at http://www.ikonboard.com

hhmm, and i'm really hoping you wern't serious about owning trino.com

No, you idiot. Just cos you can't afford anything more then a geocities site, doesn't mean that I can't.

Moron.

would give me a laugh I guess, pretty sure you'll include those movies you made with him *raises eyebrow*

What the hell are you on about?

and yes, phpBB forums are good, but theres better, although they're free, Theres loads of things your forums do that other ones can, which must mean phpBB forums are crap? well it's obvious they're not.

I never said they were bad. Once again, you're being a complete gimp. I merely said that phpBB2 and XMB were better. It's like saying "Playstation is a great console, but PS2 is much better". You really are a fool.

Who did?


Also, you're saying that geocities are great?

Great doesn't have to be all that, it's free, there servers always up, and it's easily accessed, also, also, people with no ftp can upload their files.

Go and get phpBB2. They rule. Although, there is no stable version, as of yet. But, wait it's fully released then marvel at it's awesome power. Or, get XMB for the mean time as that also rules and a new version is coming out soon that looks good.
