+slinger91 Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 I was wondering if anyone was enterested in starting a forum on the WSGA site? I just saw the one for Idaho geocachers, and it looks like a good idea. Any thoughts? thier site is: http://www.idahogeocachers.org/forum/ "If I knew how thirsty I was going to be this morning, I would have drank more last night." Quote Link to comment
+Mr. Snazz Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 We also have a forum here in central oregon, it works out pretty good. http://www.cogeo.org/phpBB2/ Please forgive the speed, I need to upgrade the box that runs it Quote Link to comment
+Seth! Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 LindaLu suggested it at the December meeting. Thank you for the nudge. We'll get right on it here at the 24/7 WSGA offices. Seth! Quote Link to comment
+Seth! Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 I just looked at the two examples mentioned above. Very cool. If anyone wants to volunteer to help get one of these set up, please step forward! Feel free to e-mail me off the list. Snazz, if you want to share your experience with your BB with me, I'd be interested to know how it works for you. ! Quote Link to comment
+Mr. Snazz Posted January 2, 2003 Share Posted January 2, 2003 phpBB has worked out pretty good for me, so far. The machine I have it on is slightly under-powered for the task, apparently (its a Celeron 500mhz w/ 128mb ram). The BB has gotten noticeably slower with 505 posts in the system (the system is used for other things too, though). I'm considering moving it to my other, better equipped server. It was straightforward to install, espescially since I already had apache and php up and running. I think its important to try to get as many folks as possible to post to a new forum, to generate a minimum level of activity. After a point, momentum will carry things along. I'd imagine a forum for the washington association would see a lot more traffic than my little Central Oregon forum does, since you folks have organized meetings and whatnot. You might be able to find a hosting provider who has UBB (the forum system that Groundspeak uses). If not, the free alternatives (such as phpBB) are nice. Out of the various boards I've tried, phpBB was the easiest to set up and configure. Quote Link to comment
