I currently run a board of a little over 1000 members for an MLM company. I want to create private forums for each separate group to have their own area and have it hidden and password protected, which I know how to do. However, I want to replicate what www.howardforums.com has done with individual forums for each carrier.

Essentially I want to have the individual groups have their own subdomain for their forum category. Instead of linking to http://www.mysite.com/forumdisplay.php?f=47, I want them to be able to go to " http://group1.mysite.com " or "http://group2.mysite.com" and see their private forums.

I am not sure how to accomplish this.

Any help will be appreciated!!!

This would most likely require a license for each of the subdomains you create like this.

That site just sets up subdomains witch redirect to point to the pages http://www.mysite.com/forumdisplay.php?f=47........... If you have anytype of control panel software on your site there should be an option of setting up subdomains and you should be able to set a redirect for the sub domains aswell.
