Working with Andrew Gallant for over a year on a bulletin board software there's just a crazy amount of work involved in creating your own bulletin board software. I hope you have a dedicated team with a lot of time and patience.

Personally, I don't think i could go through that again. But goodluck anyway, personally, I would save up the pennies and just buy a vbulletin license.

This is probably true, but it shouldn't be. Not if it's kept simple. You simply need user authentication/profiles(optional), and a hierarchy category system.

Obviously there's a bit more to it than that, but those are the core basics. Most instances of creating your own forum, you don't need the thousands of features that a stock commercial one comes with, and you just need tight integration with the rest of your site. In those instances, spending several hours creating your own solution would be way more valuable than shelling out ~$200 for a third party.

That would be a very expensive headache you just purchased.

I'm sorry for posting in this thread, but when am I going to be able to create a thread?
It's been days I've registered...
How long does it take for my privileges to be the same as everybody else?
